Thank you, Copenhagen. 🇩🇰

I will never forget this opportunity — getting to dance, learn, and work with two legendary artists this past week.

Thank you, Masha @balletrusse and Daniil @daniil for your extensive coaching, generosity, and expertise throughout my time here. I’m leaving with so much new information, inspiration, and a deeper appreciation for this art form.

Having grown up watching and admiring your artistry, the opportunity to now learn from and dance alongside you was incredibly special. Traveling internationally to train with you both made this experience even more meaningful.

Thank you, Italy. 🇮🇹

My first time staying in Europe, and an experience I’ll never forget. Grateful for the people I met along the way, the places I got to see, and all the memories in between.

Supporting fellow artists from near and far, getting to experience dancing on a raked stage, and seeing a different side of the dance world while being there for it all.

The joy of having simple moments to explore, try new things, and experience the city for what it was.

All of it, something to take with me. taken in Italy by @dempsterava
