MEMORABLE MOMENT IN BALLET
“One of my memorable moments is a show in Bordeaux, where I was not supposed to dance that night. I attended it as an audience member and got called on stage to replace a dancer who just got injured and could not continue. Also touring the Netherlands with more than 30 shows to dance, every show being a new experience and a possibility to improve my performance. My last stage experience in Vilnius was also memorable, because it was a contemporary solo created for me.”
