All together as a full team this weekend♥️

First time performing my very first contemporary solo, bringing my ballet solo to the stage, and dancing my trio and all groups this weekend. I had so much fun with my friends and amazing team.

Grateful to have spent the weekend @theknockoutdance sharing the stage with so many talented dancers, and for my incredible teachers @elitedanceworx 💚

Congratulations to everyone!

Looking back on my first season at @elitedanceworx 💚💚💚 …and an unforgettable first time at @thedanceawards ✨

I’m filled with so much gratitude for this year.

This season brought so many new experiences, but even more importantly, it gave me a place where I feel inspired to keep learning, growing, and working harder every day.

Thank you, Miss Dawn, and the incredible studio faculty for challenging me, inspiring me, and setting such an exceptional standard. I’m so grateful for all the incredible training and opportunities this year.

I feel so lucky to be surrounded by dancers and friends whose talent, dedication, and passion inspire me every day. I’m already looking forward to another season of learning, growing, and working hard.

Prelude to a Soul 🤍

A year of growth in every sense. So grateful for every opportunity and every challenge this season brought.

Thank you @elitedanceworx 💚
And thank you Miss @jazzminjames for creating a piece that somehow met me exactly where I was and challenged me to grow through it.

Last time on stage with this one before nationals ✨

So grateful for an incredible two weeks at @abtschool 🩰

Thank you to every teacher who shared their knowledge and passion each day. Miss Brittany Shinay, thank you for your encouragement, inspiring classes, and for making every class and rehearsal so special for all of us.

Thank you to the entire ABT faculty for such a wonderful experience. I’m so grateful for everything I learned, the friendships I made, and all of the memories from these two weeks!

Thank you, @elitedanceworx for your support and encouragement to explore our world. 💚

There’s just something about dancing in New York. The energy, the community, and being surrounded by so many people who love dance as much as you do. ♥️

So grateful for every class I got to take at @bdcnyc @bdcctp and @stepsonbroadway and for every teacher I had the privilege to learn from. 💕

@misschionyc • @renellt21 • @danellemorgan

Some of my favourite memories from New York were made in these studios. I met so many amazing people along the way and feel very lucky to have had these experiences. Already missing that NYC energy 🔥

There are certain moments that expand us and this year it was this incredible partnership with @thiz.theone.andonly.sofiah and @dancing.aves that brought me so much joy and allowed for so much artistic growth every time we stepped on stage.

To countless moments laughing together and feeding off eachother, seeing how each one of us continued to give it our all was an indescribable feeling…and it led us to receiving 1st place at @thedanceawards ♥️🥹

Something we are very grateful for! And I can’t thank our teacher/choreographer enough @jazzminjames for believing in us and providing such a beautiful piece to work with 💚 @elitedanceworx taken in Las Vegas, Nevada by @dancing.aves
