At the age of two I did a dance performance on stage. I came off stage and said “I am never doing that again”. So my mom enrolled me in gymnastics and added a ballet class for fun. At age 5 my mom enrolled me in a competition studio. After two weeks the teacher asked if I would like to do competition dance.
On year 4 my mom wanted “formal ballet training”. At age 9 I started ballet full time six days a week and absolutely fell in love.
My mom put me in dance as I was extremely shy but dance has been a way for me to express myself and transform into another person. I have been wearing Grishko2007/ Nikolay 3007 since age nine with my first pair of pointe shoes. Yes I did go en pointe at age 9, however I was fully en pointe until age 10 and did weekly private lessons for an entire year for strength training.
