“This playlist is my personal soundtrack - a collection of songs I never skip, whether I’m stretching before class, getting ready for a show, or just unwinding with friends. As a ballerina, I’m always tuned into rhythm, mood, and movement, and this playlist reflects that. It’s a blend of dreamy and grounded, mellow, and high-energy - music that lets me breathe, reset, or flow, depending on what the day needs.
You’ll hear artists like Alice Phoebe Lou, The Marías, Faye Webster, Clairo, Solange, and Cleo Sol — all bringing soft grooves, layered textures, and a kind of effortless soul. These are the songs that fill my space when I’m moving slowly or getting in the zone. Whimsical, reflective, a little floaty… just like the best moments in the studio or on stage.”
