Staying positive is anchored in dance, whether through teaching, performing, or creating. Beyond being a dancer, simple joys like cooking, exploring diverse cuisines, and caring for my pets contribute to my positivity. It's about finding positivity in various aspects of life and cultivating a mindset filled with positive energy.
