So proud of my girls for showing up every week and putting in the work 💪

Dance has been part of my life for as long as I can remember but it wasn’t until an injury took me out for nearly two years that I truly understood the importance of cross-training.

Just six months after moving to NYC to pursue my dream of dancing professionally, I tore four ligaments in my foot and ankle. I (thought I) did everything to heal, got back to dancing… and re-injured it. Why? I wasn’t strong enough yet.

That second injury forced me to slow down and be completely non-weight bearing, no shortcuts. And this time, I did it differently. I took my time. Through that process, I learned so much about the body, nutrition, and what it really means to train with intention. Since then, fitness has been at the core of everything I do and it’s why I’m so passionate about helping other dancers train smarter - so they can perform at their highest level in class, in the audition room, and on stage!

This year, I created Strength for the Stage, a small group strength program designed to help dancers cross-train, gain real strength, feel more powerful, and build a stronger “dancer” foundation. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about performance, it’s about longevity. Dancers put their bodies through the ringer!

I’m so grateful for every single person who’s shown up, trusted me, and supported this little business of mine 🤍

If you want to join us, I offer drop-in classes: Tuesdays at 12:30 & 1:30
Wednesdays at 11:30
each week at @performancehq.nyc near Union Square.

DM me for more details and to grab a spot 💪

Officially introducing… STRENGTH FOR THE STAGE ✨

Personalized strength and conditioning designed for whatever “stage” you’re training for.

I grew up dreaming of dancing professionally, and shortly after moving to NYC, I tore four ligaments in my foot and ankle, leaving me scared that the dream I had worked toward for so long might be over.

Working my way back taught me more about my body than I had ever known, especially the importance of strength training and cross-training for dancers. Not only for performance, but for injury prevention and longevity.

That’s where Strength for the Stage began. But “the stage” isn’t meant to be one thing. We all have a stage of our own, a goal we are chasing, a moment we’re preparing for, or a future we’re working towards.

Maybe you’re building strength for your next audition or performance, preparing to strut your stuff on a pageant stage, getting ready to walk down the aisle, entering your mom era, working toward a personal goal or simply wanting to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in your everyday life.

Your “stage” is whatever you’re working toward. And I believe your training should actually reflect that.

Fitness is so often treated like one size fits all. Follow the same workout. Chase the same goals. Train the same way. But everyone’s goals are different, and their training should be too.

As a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, professional dancer, and group fitness coach with 6+ years of experience, I want to bridge the gap between simply working out and actually training with purpose.

Strength for the Stage starts with what YOU are working toward and builds your training around that. Train with me in person in NYC, work with me virtually from anywhere, or get a custom program built for you to follow on your own time.

Built around your goals. Your moment. Your stage.

There is so much more to come, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Welcome to Strength for the Stage. ✨

@kiannahealy, you are truly A STAR! You shined on the Miss America stage this week, and cheering you on was the easiest thing in the world.

From our little duo in 2021 to being here five years later, getting to watch you grow into the woman you are today has been so incredibly special. I’m beyond grateful that this organization brought you into my life all those years ago and even more grateful I got to be here for this moment.

You poured your heart out on that stage, represented South Dakota so beautifully, and made all of us SO proud. Love you endlessly! Forever my Miss South Dakota 🤍

Five years later, and the Miss America 100th still feels like yesterday 👑

Our year may have looked a little different, but getting to represent South Dakota at the 100th Anniversary of Miss America with the class I did made every bit of it worth it. Five years later, I look back at this version of myself with so much love and gratitude for what this organization has done for her!

And a special, full-circle moment getting to be here for my teeny bop, @kiannahealy, now as Miss South Dakota.

The crown came off a long time ago, but this chapter never really ended.
