I always like the fact that you can get rid of all your energy for a while and sometimes you have to work hard. It’s always fun and you can also go crazy and be yourself!

When I was an intern, a student had brought a stuffed seal to class that could also move and blink its eyes. So he looked at you with very big eyes. I had found a picture after class of a seal looking exactly the same way, and the group’s teacher and I laughed so incredibly hard that the students laughed at us! When you read it like that it doesn’t sound very funny but I still laugh now when I see that picture again!!!

Poohhhh that has been a very long time!!! The first one I can remember was Tarzan and Jane, but I also got to dance with Fairy Wings once which I also absolutely loved!

I think, like a lot of others, I enjoyed the shows the most anyway! It was always so exciting but then you could properly show all your hard work for once on a really big (especially when I was so little) stage in super beautiful costumes with makeup and beautiful hair! Secretly, you could then watch the old kids and teachers do it and think, “Someday I want to be able to dance like that, too.

I have so many favorite dances!!! To dance by myself, I really like Rihanna and the Ameriemix! I enjoyed teaching Merry go circus!

I have been dancing at DeDe since I was 3 years old!
