1 What is dance according to you?
Dance to me is joy, passion and life.

2  A song you’re listening to on loop
I've been listening to a lot of Beatles tracks recently, but right now it's ‘Imagine’.

3  If you could wake up as anybody else, who would you be and why?
I would want to wake up as any other dancer because dance is something I can’t live without. I would want to be a dancer by profession, even if I was anybody else.

4  If you had 10 seconds to make an impression on somebody, what would you do?
I would smile and talk to them, and dance, if the occasion allowed for it.

5  What is your most embarrassing moment?
I don’t have one moment as such, but I am quite forgetful, so many times I when I’m talking to someone I don’t remember who they are! And it's very embarrassing when I get caught pretending I know who I'm talking to.

6  Describe yourself in not more than five words
Simple, honest, gullible, passionate.

7  What is your biggest pet peeve?
I can’t stand filthy places or things. I need my surroundings to be clean.

8 A film you wouldn't mind watching over and over again
The Sound of Music.

9 If not a dancer, what would you be?
When I was younger I wanted to become an artist.

10  If there was one thing I could change about myself, it would be…
My temper. I can be very short tempered in certain situations but am working on it.
