I was together with my best girl friend at the Theater Erkel and we saw a wonderful Hungarian contemporary style performance with young amazing dancers. After that event, we danced on the road while we were going home. That was the real first moment when I felt, “I want to be dancer and I CAN do all the steps, jumps and turns.” I felt that I am a dancer.
