Being a chameleon in this industry is something I take pride in. I can always switch it up when I need/want to.

I used to be so focused on finding my “look”. However, what I found out was that I don’t just have one specific look. And I love that for me 😌

Need me to be the antagonist?
College freshman?
Guy next door?
Athletic Nerd?
Ballet? Modern? Jazz? West-African? Salsa? Contemporary? Improv? Swing? Hip-hop? Aerial Silks? Aerial Lyra? Martial Arts? Swimming? Double Dutch?

You get the point…

I got you.

Where In the Heights here at @aurora.theatre by @lin_manuel meets @badbunnypr NUEVAYoL halftime performance. ✨
Stories collide, bringing life to the stage and creating something magical. Even though we may be a little late to the Bad Bunny dance craze taking over the internet (choreography inspired by melanymercedes and @charmladonna), this cast of In the Heights wanted to share our spirit and leave our mark as we celebrate our final show of the season. ❤️

A huge thank you to our incredible directors, designers, creative team, crew, and everyone who helped bring this production to life. Your artistry, passion, and dedication made this experience unforgettable. Special thanks to our founders, whose vision created the space for stories like ours to be told and celebrated.

And a very special thank you to @infinitedreams.ent and @retina_mep for capturing this moment and helping us preserve a little piece of the magic. 🎥✨

I also want to give some love to a few of our castmates who couldn’t be with us for this video—you were still such an important part of this journey. It wouldn’t feel right not to celebrate you and everything you brought to this production. We carried your energy with us every step of the way. 🫶:

Thank you to everyone who came along for the ride. What a beautiful way to close out the season. 🌆🎶

From BTS chaos to onstage joy ✨🎭

Behind the scenes of choreographing Hairspray — where some days were smooth, some days needed a reset, and all days required teamwork, trust… and maybe a little extra hairspray 💨😅

From rehearsal room moments to stage highlights, this process reminded me why I love this work: showing up, figuring it out together, and turning challenges into something joyful.

Proud of this cast, grateful for the collaboration, and thankful for every step that led us here.
