Q: As a professional, you get to let more of your personal style be reflected in your ballet attire—in three words, how would you describe your style?

A: Comfortable, elegant, & simple.

Q: What's your favorite warm up or leotard that brings you joy?

A: My blue Rubiawear leg warmers. The blue color brings me joy in addition to keeping my legs warm at the beginning of class.

Q: What are the top five things in your dance bag?

  1. My blue lacrosse ball - to roll out all my muscles

  2. Circular thera-band - for cross-training exercises

  3. Regular thera-band - to strengthen my feet

  4. Warmup vest - to keep my upper body warm on the colder days

  5. Bloch booties - to keep my feet warm before class begins

Q: What is one piece of dance wear or accessory you can't live without?

A: Probably my long black wrap skirt. I wear it pretty much every day and for almost all rehearsals.
