I’m really late to post this but I’ve finally had a second to reflect on my year with NYCDA. Assisting as there OD this season was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. I’m so grateful for every weekends out and all the memories I made this year. I had so much fun doing what I love alongside the most inspiring people. I’m going to miss it SO MUCH!!!

Huge thank you to Joe Lanteri and the entire NYCDA staff, thank you for welcoming me into this incredible family and for creating a space that feels so full of love and purpose. I’ve learned so much from you all.

Thank you to my parents for everything. You guys have been the biggest help to me this year. No matter how hard it got you guys were always finding ways to make it work. I love you guys so much.

Thank you to my fellow ODs. You guys helped me so much this year, guiding me through this process. I’ve learned so much from getting to dance along side all of you.

And to the new ODs I’m SO excited for you. You’re all amazing and I can’t wait to watch you light up every city. I’m cheering you on every step of the way 💙

So much love for this year and everyone who made it what it was. Can’t wait to see what’s next🥹🫶
