How long have you been dancing and what do you love most about it?
I have been dancing since I was 4 years old, and it has become a central part of my life. Dance is a form of expression that allows me to tap into emotions and movements that are both liberating and exciting. The hard work and dedication I put into each routine pay off when I see my achievements on stage. There is a euphoria that comes with performing in front of an audience, a feeling of being alive and fully immersed in the music and movement. I love how dance allows me to dive into new worlds, exploring different styles and stories with each performance. It is a journey that continually challenges and rewards me, and I can't imagine my life without it.

What has been your most memorable moment at Zurich Dance Academy?
My most memorable moment during my time at taZ was the day I got accepted. I didn't expect it, so the news came as a wonderful surprise. I was overwhelmed with excitement and happiness, ready to embrace this new chapter in my life. It felt like the beginning of something truly special, and that journey ended up as the most amazing experience of my life.

Where do you see yourself in five years?
In five years, I see myself dancing a lot and being in a place where I'm truly happy. My priority is to stay healthy and injury-free so I can keep growing and improving. I want to embrace every opportunity that comes my way and continue evolving as a dancer and as a person. My future is filled with possibilities, and I can't wait to see where this journey takes me.

The best feeling on stage is for me…
... the best feeling on stage for me is the euphoria it brings. All the hard work and dedication pay off in those moments of performance. Hearing the applause from the audience is the ultimate reward—it affirms my efforts and fuels my passion even more. Being on stage allows me to connect with others and share the joy and beauty of dance, creating unforgettable experiences. No matter what you identify as a stage, make it yours and make it special!

What advice would you give younger dancers hoping to grow and achieve their dreams in dance?
To younger dancers who are hoping to grow and achieve their dreams in dance, I would advise you to believe in yourself and trust in your abilities. You are your greatest asset. If you truly want something and are willing to fight for it, you can achieve your goals. Stay dedicated, work hard, and don't be afraid to take risks. Remember to take care of your body and mind, and always find joy in the process. Surround yourself with supportive people who lift you up, and stay open to learning and growing along the way. Keep your passion alive, and let it guide you toward your dreams. And most importantly; don't let anything or anyone pull you down!
