About the models:

She is in love with the mental challenge that ballet brings, so in love that is her primal reason to perform! Rose is a ballerina like the ones you see in the movies, proper. Actually she described her childhood neighbour ( also a ballerina ) as her role model and biggest inspiration. Yes she enjoys running, fungi pasta and some me time to recharge but besides dreaming of being a midwife she can’t imagine life without ballet.

You will never imagine her challenge is learning how to listen to her body, she moves so well, maybe because she sees ballet as a perfect mix of science and art. Is obvious when you discover that she started at three years old as a jazz and tap little dancer and since then her motivation comes from the growth of her artistic creativity. However a bit of fear of feeling exposed has never fully gone from her mind. Alexa is a Yoga lover. She describes it as her passion and hobby alongside traveling the world and eating pizza. Her movements are musical and sensual but this is not how she thinks, that is what we see.
