who is your absolute favorite dancer and why? 

Marianela Nunez. She is flawless in my eyes. When she dances I feel like I know her. It’s so unreal. You can feel her passion and see her soul. Her stage presence is just so natural. And her musicality. And her facial expressions when she dances. And her smile is so beautiful and she’s also so sweet. I feel like I could be friends with her. Her balance and technique and grace are unmatched. Sure, she has gorgeous legs and exstension but she doesn’t use it in a “gymnast” type way like many russian ballerinas do. She is very controlled and has gorgeous lines. She’s everything I could want in a ballerina, athlete, artist and human being!
