'I didn't grow up in an environment where dance was encouraged as a career' Reflecting on how it all began, Nora shares how she was drawn to this art form since an early age. 'I've always said dance wasn't just something that I liked, it was in me. As a little girl, I would watch music videos on TV and be mesmerised by how people could express so much without even saying a word. That was the spark. I didn't grow up in an environment where dance was encouraged as a career, but I knew, deep down, that I was born to perform. The energy, the freedom, the storytelling… it just called out to me.
