In what way is ballet a creative outlet for you?
Be it on stage, on set, or in a studio, I love that I can express the creativity that goes on inside my mind but on the outside! Through literal physical movement, that is ballet! It’s the most fulfilling feeling and I always leave the studio inspired.

How has dance influenced your attitude to work, life and fashion?
'Dance taught me the importance of resilience and individuality from a very young age.
Learning to be resilient was one of the greatest strengths that I learnt in the studio and it’s a personal trait that I am really proud of. It has been a key skill for me being able to carry this into my work as Brand and Fashion Content Creator, as well as everyday life outside of my career as a ballet dancer.
As a dancer, individuality in the way you dance and portray certain roles on stage was always an important focus for me. I love how this translated into my work in fashion and content creation as it’s always a pillar I come back to when styling a look or planning a creative shoot for a brand'.
