What is your fondest memory at the Crazy Horse thus far?
Learning Rougir de DĂ©sir.
How do you get motivated when you get up every day?

What’s your best beauty and/or fitness tip?
A good night’s sleep. And, whenever possible, a dip in the Mediterranean.
What is “Crazy” and what is “not Crazy” for you?

Through lots of work, watching and listening. By taking risks, never feeling wholly satisfied by your performance so that you keep on improving throughout your career.
How do you prepare before getting on stage? Are there any rituals you go through?
I always close my eyes a few seconds before I’m up for a solo performance. After makeup, I enjoy taking my time to warmup, stretch and work on my tonus.
In only three words, how would you define a Crazy Girl?
Dancer, different, sensual and I’d add, mischievous.
