The dancer previously spoke to Daily Mail Australia in 2016 about motherhood, after returning to the stage just nine months after giving birth.
‘Motherhood teaches you so much and it opens up this treasure box of new things that you explore and performing is so much about life experiences,’ she said at the time.
‘Pregnancy is one of the most formative life experiences I’ve had and it informs so much of my work [as a ballerina] now.’
Way back when: In December, Lachlan shared a tribute to Dana on Instagram to celebrate one year since they first met. He posted this photo of The Wiggles performing with several dancers from The Australian Ballet, including Dana
