What Makes Ru Alive?

On Exeter's streets, conversations with creative passersby often show how artistic expression can completely clear the mind. In this feature, we connect with Ru to talk about her passion for dance and what truly brings her vitality.

For Ru, feeling alive is centred around the rhythm and freedom of dance:

"I would say dancing... The music, the fact that you don't think about anything, you just vibe."

Detailing her specific style, Ru shares how dynamic modern choreography brings everything together:

"Heels dancing... It's quite a modern style. It can be fast, it can be slow, it can be upbeat, it can be a lot of different things."

Closing our conversation, Ru shares a grounded and inspiring message for the world:

"Don't get stuck in the past or the future, just live in the moment & enjoy the present."
