Q: What are your skating goals, both short-term and long-term?
My goal is to find a dance partner that I get along with and then I would like to compete internationally, get to Grand Prix, world, etc, and the Olympics. this is a realistic goal because New Zealand is so small and there are no junior/senior ice dance teams in New Zealand meaning there are massive opportunities and places available for international and world-class competitions in ice dance.
Моя цель-найти партнера по танцам, с которым я буду тренироваться в Москве хотела бы соревноваться на международном уровне вклюиао Гран-при,мир и Олимпийские игры. Это реалистичная цель, потому что в новой Зеландия нет взрослых вар по танцам на льду, а это означает, что есть огромные возможности для участия в международных соревнованиях
Q: What qualities do you possess that would make you a good partner?
I am skilled at choreography, footwork, and presentation. I have been told by quite a few people it is at an international standard.
I take 3 hours of rhythmic gymnasts and 7 hours of different dance(jazz, hip-hop, ballet, acro, and contemporary) styles to make sure I am always constantly pushing myself to expand my skill in different dance styles
I am super hardworking and focused, I won’t stop until I have mastered something.
I am a very friendly and positive person!
I am easy going, I say what is on my mind and I am good at communicating, I am super loyal, I have a good sense of humor and I am committed.
Extra comments:
I did Pairs for two years 2016-1017, and through a twist of fate discovered ice dance which I instantly fell in love with! from the moment my coach taught me my first pattern dance I realized this is what I want to do with my life and I found I had a natural talent for it.
My coach Fanis Shakirzianau is an honored coach of Russia.
I have a passion for ice dance and love working towards goals.
I am also learning Russian and I’m fluent in English
I plan to study overseas in Russia and in December 2021 will be flying over to Moscow Russia to look at university and hence would be able to trial ice dance partners out then.
