Question: What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

My Favorite ice cream flavor in mint chocolate chip.

Question: What is your favorite style of dance and why?

My favorite dance style changes all the time but right now I love ballet and contemporary. They are both so beautiful and challenging.

Question: If you weren’t dancing, what would you do?

If I am not dancing I love spending time outdoors hiking, biking, and running... I would also take more yoga classes.

Question: Who is your favorite dancer and why?

My favorite dancer is... Good ole Janet Jackson.  Who wouldn't love her? She was so intricate, smooth, and exciting to watch.  I still like YouTubing her old videos.  Those were my inspiration as a young girl.  

Question: If you could dance anywhere for a day where would it be?

If I could dance anywhere for a day it would be in a show choreographed by Mia Michaels. Her choreography is so challenging both mentally, emotionally, and physically.  Plus they always have fantastic costumes!
