From competing in international competitions such as YAGP (Youth America Grand Prix) and GDO (Global Dance Open) and attending several courses, both internationally and locally, Cassar’s next step will see her performing at the world renowned theme park.
The audition was around 7 hours long, but Cassar managed to get the gig and despite going up against dancers from all over the world, including Brazil, Bali and Greece.
Receiving a direct phone call to get the contract details down, Cassar told MaltaDaily how she had to overcome a lot of obstacles to achieve her dream.
She opened up about how she had to miss a lot of social activities, in the process losing a lot of friends, and even being discouraged by some individuals. All this whilst juggling her studies to eventually become a physiotherapist.
Well done Elisa and we wish you a massive good luck on your journey!
