Questions & Answers…

Been dancing since: I was a wee teeny 2yr old!

Dance Experience: Trained at Anniesland College for three years in contemporary, modern jazz, ballet, tap, drama then went down south for a couple of months to a Musical Theatre School! When I came back home I started teaching for a few different schools & companies! It was great fun!

Favourite style of dance: Hmmm… ehh it would have to be… I can't pick! I love everything!

What advice would you give to aspiring dancers? If you want it then go for it whilst you can. Don't wait till it's too late and regret it for the rest of your life! You'll only succeed if you push yourself and always give more than anyone else!

Best advice ever given to me: Realise your dream and never give up!

What I do to keep fit: Em… I like to swim & run to keep myself fit & obviously Dance, Dance, & more Dance!

Three words that describe me are: Fun, happy & a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to dance!

I'm happiest when: I'm dancing! Shopping & socialising make me happy too but not as much as Dancing!!

My most unusual job: Dancing with the Rockettes as a part time job I would say is quite unusual but it's gr8!

If I had a different job I'd be: A racing driver!

My hobbies are: Shopping, socialising and Dancing!

Pets: None but I wouldn't mind a wee puppy!

Most people don't know this about me: I'm a total hygiene freak!

My happiest moment was: Getting accepted into Millennium Dance2000 MT School in London as it's so competitive and hard trying for a school down south!

My most embarrassing moment was: Don't think I have 1… yet

Things that really annoy me: People who don't care about life or have any ambitions! Jealous people really annoy me too!


Favourite food: Erm… anything that's healthy really because I enjoy it if I know it's good for me!

Favourite movie: It would have to be Casino Royale!

Favourite song: Oh I've got a few but I think my favourite would have to be… Things Can Only Get Better!

Favourite quote: "What's for you won't go by you!"

Favourite colour: Any colour that's bright & fresh looking!

Favourite perfume: Stella by Stella McCartney.

Favourite sport: Dance!

Favourite chocolate bar: I don't really eat chocolate but since I have to pick 1 it would have to be a Galaxy!

Favourite pizza topping: Spicey chicken!

Favourite Super Hero: Gotta be Captain America ha!


If you could have a super-power for a day what would it be and how would you spend your day? Knowing what people were thinking! Think there's a name for it but I'm not sure what it is!

If you looked in the boot of my car you would find? CD's & that's about it!

How many pairs of shoes do you own? Think it's about 82!

Heels or trainers? Oh a bit of both!

Favourite outfit? It changes every week!

Biggest hair trauma: Any time I try to curl my hair, it stays in perfect for about an hour then just starts to go poker straight again!! It drives me mad.

Worst male fashion mistake: OMG there's so many! Emm I hate a guy who wears something almost constantly! Especially when it's not even nice & they think they're as cool as with it on!

If you had to appear in a musical on Broadway which one would it be? Billy Elliot! I love how the drama in it can probably relate to just about every dancer's life!

The person/people I most admire are: Senior lecturer from Dance college! She gave me so much encouragement and inspiration!

What is the best thing about being a Rockettes Dancer? Being pushed really hard but being able to have a laugh and love every minute of it at the same time!

What would you like to be doing in five years? I don't really know! I'd like to be well established in something though whether it be in work or my own business in something!!
