I’ve spent the past few months off camera but still in motion.

My focus has been learning, performing, and expanding how I share dance, play, and imagination with children and families.

As I explore new ways to deepen my craft and connect, the evolution of this work keeps reminding me that growth asks for patience, curiosity, and courage.

“The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.” — Agnes de Mille

This season feels like that leap. 💖💙

I haven’t held a ballet session since last winter, and as the seasons change, I can’t help but feel a tug in my chest thinking about all the little feet in their very first ballet shoes, colorful tutus, or leggings with a T-shirt.

I do miss being that very first in-person ballet teacher, but I’m also so excited for what’s ahead. My journey as a teaching artist and performing artist is evolving right before my eyes.

I don’t think it’ll ever stop being exciting to see a video I created reach so many families!

What’s even cooler is knowing that videos I made over a year ago are still being discovered, inspiring little ones on their journey as artists. 🥰💖💙
