Governors Island



My Favorite Rehearsal Snack

My favorite is Soda (mist) and M&M (peanut)



Music I Warm Up To

I don't listen any special music. I listen to the noise of the space while I imagine the show.



Why do you dance?

Of course I like to dance. But it's more than that. Dance is a part of my life.

​

What do you love about dancing?

I can tell something to people without speaking - we don't need language.
I can be "me" when I'm dancing.

 

What's the hardest part of being a dancer?

Sometimes I can imagine what I want to do but my body can't do the movements right away. I have to practice over and over.
