I generally get up around 8:30am. My breakfast is essential. I consider dance as a sport of high level and I need truly adapted nutrition. Orange juice, tea, whole wheat tartines.
At 9:40am, I take the metro or the bus to reach the Palais Garnier and I go to my dressing room that I share with 7 other dancers.
I slip on my tunic, a pair of tights, dancing shoes and warm-up clothes. I take time to make my chignon everyday, because I consider that being well coiffed is part of the dancing rigor.
Mornings we have a choice between two courses, one at 10am, the other at 11:30am. Every day begins systematically with this 1h30 class that enables us to warm up and workout.
We can also continue with a Pilates or yoga course…One does not necessarily imagine it, but it’s mandatory to workout and have good muscle tone....
But in the end I really love food : I can get up during the middle of the night to eat bread with butter or Nutella!
