“Be Yourself; everyone else is already taken” - Oscar Wilde
My favorite spot in Leipzig is Cospudener See, I love seeing the water and the bike ride through the forest just calms me and puts me in a very happy mood.“
„My favorite moment in the evening of a performance is when I finally get hold of my nerves, and I just let myself go and have the music take me in an adventure. It is when I am not doing “steps” anymore, I just dance and let myself “be.”
