Maria (Lee Tao / Imay Lee cosplay) Latvia In the first three years of my cosplay I was obsessed with dancing – and it was hard, because costumes usually are not comfortable for free movements. It came to pass, and then there was another passion – performance. It is still a big part of cosplay for me. Depending on the character I had to take some sword-fighting lessons, I thought through all the choreography, some acrobatics. Lately I started judging on our local contests.
