She also started playing the violin, which she continued in seven years.
But the whole time, it was the dancing that stood in the center.

she had made some short films and says she felt an attraction to acting.
– I snuck off and was later called to a second test. Thankfully, it was also on a Sunday.
She laughs.
– I did not say I went to ballet school and I said definitely not to my ballet school that I went on stage testing because it was not allowed.
She got the job.
– I was absolutely appalled. Because the school took all my time I realized that I probably would not be able to jump on the role. But after meeting Tomas again, I could not say no.
took a big risk

Something that further affected the decision arthritis injuries. Even today she is suffering from a back injury from his time as a dancer.
– It was tough. I have often asked me if I when I have children going to let them go through it. It was very competitive at an early age.
At the same time, she sees positive sides.
