And especially as you're appearing at the Fontaine this year, it just feels like a very good time to ask, how do you get your competition head on? How do you deal with nerves? How do you put yourself in a place where you can give your best?

Um, I think it's important to remember that yes, even though one performs as a part of the competition and there are places to win and et cetera, et cetera.

But for me, it was always about doing my best at that moment in time and remembering all the hard work I put in the studio towards that moment.

and just connecting with myself with what I worked on remembering not only the technical elements that one tries to perfect in the studio but also connecting with the music like we spoke about earlier because then from a technically good dancer one can become an artist and a true performer remembering that it's up to the judges to make the final decision so not to compare yourself to any other dancers.

So it's important to just kind of focus on yourself.

It kind of came natural.

I would kind of go into my own zone, into my own bubble to redirect my breathing into my muscles, relax, make sure I have good fueling, make sure I have good rest prior to that, good warmup as well.

What's that experience like?
