So, first question, what we’d all love to know is when and where did you start dancing?
Northern Ireland as a hobby at 4years old..stayed there until I was 16..going to a normal secondary school and doing ballet on a Saturday.
... So have you always wanted to dance?
Didn't decide i wanted to have a career in ballet until I hit my teens..
If You weren’t a dancer what would you be?!
I have no idea but it would have to be something that I found challenging and rewarding on a daily basis...I couldn't have a career that was in any way boring or regular!!
I can’t imagine that , you have to enjoy a challenge to presuse a career in dance! But it most be important to find moments to let your boday and mind recover, especially with such a demanding schedule. What do you do to relax?
I find it extremely hard to switch off - but I think London is one of the best places to find distractions no matter what your own personal tastes!!
Favourite music?
I have a WIDE taste in music and it really depends on my mood what I choose to listen too... it can be anything from The Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd to Rihanna and Adele.
Sounds good ! Now ...tell as something about your that we don’t know?!
I actually take the mick out of myself constantly and I love to laugh which is far from the initial impression most people get of me...so I'm told !!!
Ha Ha ... and a very good attribute to have to!
Now the final question! So what’s on the cards for next season?
I make my debut as Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker at Christmas
Ooh, exciting ... I will be looking forward to watching that!
