MEMORABLE MOMENT IN BALLET
“One of the most memorable moments of my career so far, was when I performed the role of the Snow Queen in Ben Stevenson’s version of Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker”. I felt completely enthralled by a beautiful world that is created when love, passion, music, and dance collide; there is nothing like it”.
