Ballet Manila dancers perform graceful pirouettes, powerful jumps, stunning lifts and other amazing movements. But apart from what we see of them onstage, we hardly hear from these storytellers-on-toes. In 20 Questions, we offer glimpses into their personal stories. We get to know these artists better as they share tidbits about themselves – their favorite food, the best lesson they learned from their parents, their alternative career had they not become dancers and more – in their own words.

In this edition of 20 Questions, a very emotional Abigail Oliveiro (principal dancer) gets personal about her perfect day, and what makes her laugh out loud everyday. She also shares her love for bargain finds, and reveals an issue with black leotards.
