For me, I like to push myself... I hate feeling complacent or that I'm not learning.
For me, a dream partner is someone who is willing to learn and to put their trust in me.
Whether I'm doing a routine where I want to move people, or if I want to feel moved myself, I definitely tap into those moments where it's not just dancing or movement. It might just be a hand gesture or just a slow look, or even just the way you slightly tip your head forward. These subtleties speak volumes.
I always want to be the best at what I do. That doesn't mean compared to other people, but just in what you do.
I come from a theatrical background, where, if you're working on a movie or a play, you always respect the people you work with. You're accommodating.
