Leaving LA with such a full heart! ❤️🌴☀️

Huge thank you to @westsidedanceproject for having me out to work with your dancers. I was so impressed with not just how talented and explorative these dancers were with my choreography and their creative choices, but their energy and support for each other was everything!! I could’ve danced with them for another few hours, truly. Check out these five powerhouse superstars! ⭐️💥

I choreographed my first ever piece!!! 🥹🫶🏽✨

Still beaming over the amazing week I had with @tigerfriday in Utah, where I had the opportunity to set a piece on my veryyyy talented cast and perform together at the TIGRX In Concert show! The best part yet, the wardrobe is my very own line! 🥳🫶🏽

Because they deserve their own post, I wanted to thank everybody who helped bring my crazy, 5 and-a-half minute vision to life, *IN JUST UNDER 48 HOURS* starting with the stars, my cast;
Alyvia, Zoey, Isabella, Leila, Izzy, Olivia Rose, Maddie, and Josh ⭐️🤩
I was SO beyond lucky to have each and every one of you!

@alyviachen @zoeydancer3 @isabellazhong_ @leilafrey_dancer @dancer_izzyj1412 @oliviarose.dancer @maddiemortonofficial & @joshlundy11

These 8 dancers walked in the first day ready to WORK! They showed up and showed out, and I couldn’t have been more proud! (I even cried while watching them dance a portion of the piece during rehearsal)! You guys being so committed truly has meant the absolute world to me! Love you guys, and I’m so thankful we were able to create “The Ocean Waits” in the most unimaginable way! 🌊✨

A special thanks to @hcbertino @jayacampagnaterrell and @seth.mehler who helped me tremendously through this process! Jyard Skelton crew 4L! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

During this process I experienced many highs and lows, but I cherish the laughs and giggles over it all!
I’m forever appreciative for this experience and cannot wait to share it with everyone!

*enjoy choreographed, improvisational, and clips from rehearsal in this post (reactions included 🤣)!

NYCDA Nationals ‘26

I’m feeling incredibly grateful as I look back on this week.

I’m so thankful to have placed as the 10th Runner Up Senior OD and to have received a full scholarship to the @marthagrahamschool Summer Intensive.

Thank you @lanterijoe and the entire @nycda faculty for creating an environment that constantly inspires, challenges, and supports me.

Thank you to @jordanlanggg and @jordanpelliteri_ for my beautiful solos and to my teachers @tplex and @rachael.poirier for preparing me all year.

Already counting down the days until next season!

Juilliard Summer Intensive ’26 🤍

I genuinely don’t think I could ever put into words how much this experience meant to me. Truly the best experience that would have not been possible without @meltoogood and one I wish I could live over and over again. I could never get sick of that view, those studios, or the feeling of walking through those doors every day.

To all the teachers who pushed me, inspired me, and helped me grow every single day, thank you. I’m forever grateful for everything you taught me and the impact you’ve had on me as a dancer.

A special thank you to @kimberlybartosik_daela who gave me the opportunity to be in their piece. Getting to learn their choreography, be a part of their vision, and perform such an incredible work was an experience I’ll never forget. I’m so grateful you trusted me with that opportunity. 🤍

And of course, the friends I made along the way — you made this experience even more unforgettable. The memories, laughs, and moments we shared are something I’ll hold onto forever.

Thank you to everyone who helped me get to this incredible intensive, believed in me, and supported me along the way. I’m forever grateful for this experience and everyone who made it so special.

Thank you @juilliardschool . I’ll never forget this. 🤍

juilliard si ‘26 🐧💙

wow. i never would have thought that i’d ever get to dance in these studios and even be apart of this program. this has truly been the biggest dream of mine for longer than i can remember. I can’t thank the incredible faculty @juilliardschool for everything they have taught me these past three weeks. and especially, thank you @meltoogood for believing in me and for giving me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to train at the school of my dreams. it has been so fulfilling yet eye-opening for me.

to @coachmanstudio — thank you for trusting me with your work and for making this creation process so memorable. your patience and choreographic brilliance is so admirable and inspiring. i had the best time creating “for now, forever” with you and learned so much throughout this process.

this experience means more to me than i could ever explain. thank you to my family and teachers at home who made it possible for me to get here, and my friends and faculty for making my time here better than i could’ve ever imagined.

i love you all so much ☀️🤍

Still trying to find the right words to describe these past few weeks…

Thank you @juilliardschool, @meltoogood, all the teachers and mentors for filling this summer with the sweetest memories. The love and care you pour into each student is so beautiful. This intensive would not be the same without you all ♥️

It was a privilege to be a part of “Our Wild Tides”. Thank you @kimberlybartosik_daela and @jacobypruitt for making the creative process unforgettable. KCC will always hold a special place in my heart 😉

To my fellow dancers, I love you guys. From dip night to random Target runs, you guys made everyday the best one ever. It was an honor to dance alongside all of you.

Feeling extra grateful 🫶🏼

The absolute best way to spend my 17th. What an incredible three weeks this has been. I’m leaving feeling more inspired than ever. Thank you to every teacher I had the privilege of learning from. Each of you brought such a unique perspective and an incredible depth of knowledge to this art form, and I’m beyond grateful to have learned from your expertise. A special thank you to @pattideldancer . It was such an honor to work with you every day in rehearsals. Your kind words, infectious spirit, and wealth of knowledge left me feeling inspired at the end of every single day. A huge thank you to @meltoogood for the opportunity to learn and grow in the most transforming place. Also big thank you to all of the RA’s/full time students, you guys were there for us when we needed literally anything and you all were so inspiring to take class with. I’m also so thankful for the amazing people I met along the way and for the chance to reconnect with friends I hadn’t seen in a while. These past three weeks taught me so much, not only about dance, but also about myself. I’ll carry these lessons with me long after this summer. Forever grateful. 🥹#juilliard #dance #nyc @juilliardschool @dancing_deb_ @teresecapucilli @kimberlybartosik_daela @carleealicea11 @alexis__hawkins @mariella.saunders
