Some memories from these past @chitaawards
Dancing next to the star @evyvaughan and my partner in crime @truhala
To the moves of @camloeser @thenewjackcoledancers @colejazzdance

This is a segment of a piece created to honor Ann Margret and her career, such a iconic tune, and It was even more thrilling to open this piece and have the one and only Ann Margret watching from the box.
❤️ life sometimes gives you this special moments

Looking back and sharing with you a truly heartfelt and meaningful moment from this past May — ⭐️the 2026 Chita Rivera Awards.⭐️ @chitaawards

It was an incredible honor for our jazz family @thenewjackcoledancers to open the evening with “Beale Street Blues”, featuring Jack Cole’s original choreography.
And the cherry on top was our dazzling Hullabaloo, created by @camloeser as a tribute to Ann-Margret in celebration of her Lifetime Achievement Award.

The entire evening felt like pure magic. My soul and heart were overflowing with beloved music, movement that sent electricity through my body, the joyful faces of dear friends and colleagues, and so many moments I had dreamed about for years. 💫

Thank you, Cam, for being who you are.❤️

There is so much more to come!

Small collection of the least ridiculous photographs I was involved with. There were so few. The rest of the photos are for the eternal Google Drive. I love everyone beyond.
