FEATURED POST

I started ballet when I was three in my mum’s dance school in São Paulo, Brazil. Having survived the hardships of living far away from home, I graduated from Canada’s National Ballet School and built my dancing career in England. 

Today I live in London with my husband and two cats, and I’m a First Soloist with The Royal Ballet. It hasn’t always been an easy journey, but I love where it has taken me and, most importantly, I am continuously learning about myself and this artform. 

Through this blog, which I started in 2019, you may find each step that I have taken and all the ups and downs of a dancer’s life, based on my personal experience. These are my thoughts and feelings, which I share in the hope that it will resonate with other dancers around the world, inspire admirers who want a peak at the behind-the-scenes, and inform those who are simply curious to know what it is like to be a ballerina.

Whilst on a full-time job as a dancer at The Royal Ballet, I completed a BA (Hons) on English Literature and Creative Writing. I have always loved to read and write and kept a journal for years, so now it is time to combine my love of dance and writing.

I hope you enjoy this blog!
