MEMORABLE MOMENT IN BALLET
“One of the most unforgettable moments of my artistic life was touring the cities of Japan and performing in Washington, D.C. Every new stage is both a great adventure and an invaluable experience. Traveling to new countries is always fascinating – to see audience response, while also gaining the unique ability to bring a piece of one’s home stage to foreign ones. This is an experience that transforms both the artist and the performance itself – something that can only be truly understood by living through it”.
