Absolutely loved working on this together 🧚‍♂️✨
Walks and runs are one of the hardest to master in classical ballet and can only say wow, filling the room with magical quality ✨✨✨

🤯It’s funny how even when you’ve done the things you once dreamed about, the adult voice in your head can still say “you’re not doing enough.”

🤷🏼‍♀️Is this an ‘ex-dancer thing’? Or just an “adult thing”?
Does that feeling go away when you finally reach your calling? Or do we then expect more, more, more?

🤔I don’t think younger me could have imagined the places ballet would take me. The stages, the roles, the people, the countries, and now getting to pass that knowledge on through teaching and choreography.

🫶🏻Still figuring it out…but I think younger me would be pretty amazed by the journey so far.
