Who or what was the reason for the beginning of dance life:
My dance journey started because my mother took me to dance classes when I was a child. At first, I simply danced because I enjoyed it. I never expected it to become such an important part of my life.

At some point, I realized that I couldn’t imagine my life without dance. Dance makes my life full, meaningful and happy. Every time I finish a dance class or rehearsal, I feel like I am truly living my life.

I love meeting new people and being surrounded by people who have the same goals, dreams and passion as me. I love the feeling of being part of a community where everyone is passionate about the same thing.

I also love exploring my body through dance — discovering new movements, trajectories and possibilities. I enjoy listening to music deeply, noticing different sounds, melodies, rhythms and textures, and finding ways to express what I hear through movement.

For me, dance is not just about learning choreography or performing. It is a way to explore myself, connect with people, experience emotions and feel truly alive.

Advice for a beginner dancer:
Don’t be afraid to start from zero and don’t compare your journey to other dancers. Try different styles, train consistently and stay curious. Don’t be afraid of mistakes — they are an important part of becoming a better dancer. Most importantly, enjoy the process and remember why you started.

Motto in life:
Keep learning, keep growing and never stop dancing
