Your proudest moment as an artist.

"When I won a competition where I was given several scholarships to the Hamburg Ballet, the English National Ballet and the Prague Conservatory. At that moment, for the first time, I realized that my dream was coming true and that, with the necessary commitment, I would have made it happen!"

Define a perfect day.

"It's not hard... to wake up in the morning and think that even today I'm lucky. I'll have a chance to dance, continue my classes and get better - that's it!"

If you weren't a dancer, you'd be...

"I probably would have been an archaeologist of the classical world. I love Greek and Latin culture, it's my second passion!"
