“create your
own authentic
spirit.”


 

IF DANCE WOULD NOT BE IN YOUR LIFE WOULD YOU STILL PURSUE A CAREER IN ARTS, IF YES WHAT?

I would still pursue a career in art because art itself has a huge spectrum that you can learn a lot from! There is never enough, to gain information in different departments of art, to gain information in different art systems and I think if you combine all of these departments and learn all of these parts in art then you pursue your own self, you create your new individuality, a new character! This is what makes art special, that you can never learn enough!”

YOUR SENSE OF CLOTHING IS SOMETHING THAT CATCHES THE EYE OF PEOPLE. HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU THINK FASHION IS IN THE INDUSTRY?

“For me it doesn’t have a huge importance in the dance industry! It’s about feeling comfortable in the clothes that you decide to wear, and if the case is that you fulfill yourself and feel authentic while doing it, that’s what makes it special! Other than that it is a subjective point of view! For me fashion is really important for my lifestyle, but it doesn’t have a strong connection with my dancing! It is just a different passion that I'm having in my life! To be honest just wear what you feel comfortable in and you will create your own authentic spirit!”

IF YOU HAD TO PRACTICE 2 STYLES FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND BECOME A MASTER IN THEM, BUT HAD TO GIVE UP EVERYTHING ELSE, WAS WOULD YOU TRAIN?


”If I had to train two styles I would definitely pick House and Hip Hop, because of the fact that I started with these styles in the first place! So my first intuition was to learn these two when I started with freestyle! But the thing with all of these styles that we know like Popping, Locking, Breaking, Hip Hop and House they have their own origin and you can tell and see the influences of other styles like Funk and Electric Boogaloo for example! Everything has  interconnected origins and I wouldn't leave all of these styles behind because they connected throughout the decades!”
