Most looking forward to at the Prix: “The experience to be on that stage again. If I get there and do that, I’m not worried by the outcome.” I know that may sound cheesy, but in the end that’s all any of us competing can hope for. What his Prix goals are: “My goal for the competition is to do the best that I can. He did this two years ago as well when I went the first time.” My dad also built a 10×10 raked platform so I can get adjusted to the stage in Lausanne. Stretching a lot, too, will be a big part of my training to help my body stay limber with all the work I’ll be putting on it. I will also be cross-training, going to the gym and doing Gryotonic. How he is training for the Prix: “I’ll be in the studios working the majority of my time. Something people might not know about him: “When I was younger, I was a commercial actor and did a few larger films.” Personally, it’s a great way to start my day.” I’m also getting more into photography and find it to be a good way to let the stresses of the day go.”įavorite meal to cook: “Steak and potatoes for breakfast. Being inside of a studio all day really makes you appreciate nature a lot more. What we can find him doing on his off day: “Enjoying the outdoors. Also, another one of my favorite dancers, Steven McRae, wears them as well.” They keep me warm and are very easy to dance in. I try and find the same combination in my own dancing.”įavorite dancewear accessories : “I love my FaB Dance Knitwear warm-ups. He has such a beautiful mixture of elegance and strength, and growing up I would always watch videos of him and learned a great deal from them.
