Dream role: Romeo in Romeo and Juliet - this ballet was one of the first I saw and I'd love to be given the opportunity to tell the character's story through my own interpretation of the role.

What inspired you to start dancing: Watching my siblings dance. To this day, ballet is something unique I've been able to share with them and here at BRB I look forward to sharing the stage with my brother, Enrique.
