SPOTLIGHT night at @districtdanceacademy with Jae 🖤

Had no clue we were doing this until about 30 minutes before… which is how our spotlights usually go. Thanks for dancing with me 🫶

SOOO much I can say about swingover and so many videos to share… but had to start with dancing with Thibault Ramirez!!
This was my very first semi spotlight and tournament and I was already nervous. And then we ended up going head to head with Hugo 😂Thank you @thibault__ramirez for taking such good care of me on the dance floor and for making this such a fun experience!!

Here’s to not blacking out in my next spotlight (hopefully)

Fun fact, I got this pro am jnj ticket two hours before I competed (thank you Leo for transferring the follow pass you accidentally bought).

The level of talent at MADJam 2026 was incredibly high. When they paired me with Sebastian Quiñones for jnj finals, my first thought was “oh shoot, I’m not going to be able to keep up”. Thank you Sebastian for creating such creative and calming dances on the floor, but also knowing and pushing my capabilities!

MADJam 2026 was a humbling experience and I am honored to have stood on the dance floor with these incredible dancers 🤍 till next year!!

Im so tired of the AI “art”, AI “posters” and AI “music”…. It’s honestly trash yall. Let’s be cautious to never replace human creativity, as given by God, with the regurgitations of a computer program.

Show me what YOU can do that AI could never!

So I had a lot more fun doing country swing than I expected 🙈 as evidenced by my goofy face in this picture. Thanks @matias_rodas10 for being a fun strictly partner in any dance style and such a loyal friend by @dancewithkarar

Thank you Paul for some of the most fun I’ve ever had in a strictly and all the laughs on the dance floor! I’m so proud of us for these dances! And Alexis garrish giving us second place was the icing on top

Not to brag on this guy but he is incredibly talented and a super receptive and gentle partner. Advanced better watch out for this one!!

“You’re doing country again??” -I had forgotten how much fun country swing is and am now definitely looking to competing more often! From WCS Strictly to Country Strictly, thank you @dancewithkarar for being my strictly partner!

I know I just posted a clip of this on my story, but I wanted to share the whole dance with @dakota_schanze
Thank you for helping me find that calm, collected, and floaty feeling in a JNJ (and supporting my one foot decisions even though you hate them). So proud of us for finaling this weekend!!

More than anything, I’m so thankful for the support of dear friends. What you can’t see behind the camera is my coaches and friends watching every dance 🤍 thanks @reding_dance for your encouragement while filming!! Hearing you while dancing gave me so much confidence
