Tap dance has been such a beautiful part of my life and I love that I get the opportunity to share it with so many people! It was such an honor to be part of this @timeoutnewyork shoot and discussion about dance in NYC. There are so many incredible artists in every corner of this city. Support them and learn about what they do! There’s nothing in the world like making and sharing art 💕
Also had to include some BTS of why @tweetboogie and I can’t stand next to each other 😂 we play around too much, but we have the best time!

Incredible celebration of love and friends in GA. There was dancing, eating, laughing, and some not-so-subtle flash mob rehearsing 😂 The room was filled to the brim with joy and it was so much fun! Congrats, Payton & Ryan! ❤️

Reviving this gem in honor of BDC’s 42nd anniversary today. I’ve had the most fun heading up projects like this (very 2000s coded) promo collab with Step Up 3D. This was an extra challenge because it was a one-take continuous shot, which means the amazing dancer volunteers got one chance to film this whole thing! It’s always a dream to be able to help celebrate art and dance, and even more fun to look back and see how far we’ve come! This was filmed before we even had the first and second floors (Studios A & B). Happy anniversary @bdcnyc ❤️ and thanks to our friends at @soapboxfilms 🧡

What a fun show! So proud of these @belmontu students! The “Unsupervised” cabaret was great! We’re going to miss you at @bdcnyc but I have a feeling you’ll all be back 💕 This group is SO TALENTED! You guys will do big things and we’ll be here cheering you on! Special shout out to @j.turelli - it’s been an absolute pleasure working with you this semester! Can’t wait to see what you do next! ✨ Truly happy to be part of your journey!

Congrats to these @fsuschoolofdance graduates! And a special shoutout to Aria & Yasmeen for being our interns for the 2026 cohort. Thanks to Hannah and team for putting together such a wonderful opportunity for these dancers and leading with such integrity and heart, we need more of that in the world! #DoItWithLove
Still not over this moment from last week… the talent in the room was next level 🔥
Once again a huge thank you to @bdcnyc@aprilpcook and @shannoneatkins for bringing the energy and sharing your expertise with our dancers! ✨

Love this so much! I think we all start to dance because we love it. Sometimes, with the grind of everything, we forget that we can just DANCE. For the sake of dancing. Not for perfection, accolades, or promotion, but for connection, expression, and joy. (the endless amounts of joy to be had!) So, I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Move It 2026 was no joke! They hosted 35,000 dancers and tons of vendors. I talked to dancers from around the globe, led a tap masterclass, saw heaps of incredible performances and battles, sat in on auditions, and helped spread the word about @bdcnyc ✌🏼An added bonus was getting to see some former students, LA choreographers, BDC + Aussie friends, finally taking the sky transit, and getting to see The Manor’s Dance // Offline show. It was a PACKED few days! 🪩
