While almost every little girl finds it amusing to dance in front of the mirror in a new pink tutu, for me the art of movement was always a part of my day and became my steady companion. From the first time I put on my ballet shoes, dance has been my source of inspiration, self-expression and pure joy. It is not only everyday practice but a part of who I am and what I want to be. I…

However, the excitement coursing through me was going to be enough to get me through the day. “I just woke up, should I change into my dance…
