I pick my date up roughly around 7:30 with flowers waiting outside of the car to open the door for her. I would take her to a very fancy restaurant, after dinner we would go slow dancing. We would end with a long walk down the beach.

What is your passion in life?

As I said before, I was born with a burning passion for dance. When I’m happy I dance. If I’m sad I dance. I believe everyone is born with one passion, and mine is to dance.
