20 Questions with Rissa May Camaclang

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.

20 Questions returns with Ballet Manila soloist Rissa May Camaclang. One of Project Ballet Futures’ most successful scholars, Rissa May shared personal details on her ballet idol, and what she might be doing had she not become a dancer. Worthy of note is her detailed description of what a perfect day would be like.
