POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Almost a decade since my last Nutcracker… 🩰🎄

Around this time of year, rehearsals would be starting, and the countdown to the holiday season would officially begin.

I didn’t realize how much I missed that feeling until now.

This year, I’m stepping into a new holiday story… one that might feel a little familiar.

Stay tuned.

Day 25/30 🩰

Back to my roots.

There’s something really special about coming back to ballet—not because I’m trying to prove I still have it, but because I never really stopped loving it.

At 28, I’m still finding new ways to move, create, and challenge myself. And getting to do that alongside Ellie made this even more special. She is an absolute star, and I genuinely can’t wait to watch where this girl goes. ✨

A little reminder that the things that started us don’t have to stay in the past. Sometimes you just come back to them with a little more life, experience, and perspective.

Still got it. 🩰

After officially making it one month through college, I could not be more grateful for everything that has lead me to where I am now! It must have been Fate… 🩷

This is a [late] thank you to my teachers, friends, and of course my family, for all supporting me on this journey. 💚

A special thanks to my sister who gave me corrections and pep talks, I couldn’t be luckier to have a sister as talented in the art of dance as you. As photographed. taken in No Place Like Home by @dancereke

enjoy every moment, for those moments are your life.

the experience I had at @balletmet wouldn’t have been the same without the people that were there with me. I thank all of you for making it an unforgettable experience. Those are all moments I’m glad to carry with me.

Also thank you so much @tori_watford for this year and last year. You inspire me with your dancing, your classes, and your words. I don’t think I could ever thank you enough. 💚 taken in BalletMet by @dancereke
