So much change is happening! I couldn’t be more excited to share that I’m pregnant!

Performing this summer while pregnant has been one of the hardest challenges of my career (Swan Lake was particularly difficult lol). I have endless admiration for any dancer who has done the same.

Before I knew I was pregnant, @wheeldony invited me to join the cast of An American in Paris, which will be touring to Geneva. I was beyond excited about this opportunity. While I’ve stepped back from that dream, I’m stepping into a new one. I hope to return to dancing in some way after I give birth because ballet and dance will always be my first love.

To the @abtofficial dancers, stage managers, and staff who supported me in my first trimester, I honestly can’t thank you enough. Your kindness, excitement, and encouragement carried me through some incredibly exhausting days. Knowing I had such a strong circle of support meant the world to me. 🙏🏾

Here are some moments from this summer of dancing while pregnant. Last slide… meet my little one 🫧🍼
