Favourite full-length ballet: Mayerling by Kenneth MacMillan. MacMillan's choreography and Liszt's score create an incredibly passionate and tragic atmosphere. It is such a detailed ballet – every time I watch it, I see new things I didn't see before.

Dream role: Basilio in Don Quixote. I love the ballet as a whole, but would like to explore Basilio's fiery and playful character.

Most enjoyable onstage experience: Performing Rhapsody pas de deux by Sir Frederick Ashton because I love the choreography and the score. Rehearsing it helped me grow so much as a dancer, and the performance felt really rewarding.

Career if not a dancer: Violinist or Scientist
