I am so beyond grateful for everyone who contributed to shade <3, this piece was absolutely incredible because of you. Thank you for being a part of this moment and supporting this work!

shade <3 was my choreographic debut in Chicago, and I could not be more proud of what we created. Trust when I say that this is only the beginning, and I am honored that you are here at the start of this journey of a lifetime.
