• What age did you start playing sport? Tell us about this time or moment in your life.

  Although dance is not a sport, I started my journey in dance and movement at a young age during my school years. That time was very important in shaping my discipline, confidence, and creativity. Training, rehearsals, and stage performances taught me commitment and self-belief, and it was when I realised dance would become a lifelong passion.

• What are your favourite sports; those that you practice at a high level, a simple hobby, and a sport that you’d still like to discover?

  While my main focus is dance and performing arts, I enjoy movement-based fitness and flexibility training that support stamina, balance, and body strength. As a hobby, I like light workouts and stretching routines. I’m also interested in exploring new movement disciplines that improve body awareness and coordination.

• What gives you the motivation and passion to pursue your discipline?

  Dance allows me to express emotions, tell stories, and connect deeply with people. It gives me mental peace, physical strength, and a sense of purpose. Teaching dance motivates me even more, as I get to guide others, boost their confidence, and help them enjoy movement in a positive and empowering way.

• Do you have an achievement that you’re particularly proud of?

  I am particularly proud of becoming a certified dance tutor and successfully teaching students of different ages and backgrounds. Watching my students grow in confidence, improve their technique, and enjoy performing is my greatest achievement.

• How have your achievements and challenges made you better in your discipline?

  My journey has taught me patience, discipline, and adaptability. Challenges helped me understand that progress takes time and consistency. These experiences made me more empathetic as a teacher and more focused as a dancer, allowing me to guide students with understanding and encouragement.

• If you had to go for a jog with a famous athlete, who would you choose? And what questions would you ask them?

  I would choose an athlete known for discipline and longevity. I would ask how they maintain motivation, recover from setbacks, and stay mentally strong over the years. These principles are valuable in dance as well, where consistency and mindset are essential.

• How do you help people stay motivated?

  I help people stay motivated by creating a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable learning. I set realistic goals, celebrate small improvements, and adapt my teaching to each individual’s pace so they feel confident and encouraged throughout their journey.

• What makes you a Superprof?

  What makes me a Superprof is my ability to combine strong fundamentals, creativity, and personal attention. I focus not only on steps, but also on posture, expression, rhythm, and confidence. I genuinely care about my students’ progress and aim to make every class enjoyable, structured, and rewarding.
