FIRST CLASS AT @stepsonbroadway ✅ Grateful that I got to teach my jazz class at STEPS On Broadway for the College Spotlight Series!!! It was such a full circle moment to have past students from @shenandoahconservatory , current students from @dwacademy , students from past residency experiences, amazing life-long friends, and new students I got to meet from this exact moment. Huge thank you to my former student and now dance professional @sammyfossum for assisting me in class 🫶🏽✨ I am honored to represent @adelphidance and @adelphiu in this College Spotlight Series. Thank you to EVERYONE who came out to twirl together ❤️💫 🎶: @brennawhitaker #AdelphiDance #DanceNYC #STEPS #STEPSOnBroadway #FullPutWithFeeling #Explore #JazzDance

#AdelphiDance is getting LOUD 🗣️🔥 One of my proudest moments as a Professor of Dance is watching my students shine ✨ With the introduction of Industry Dance Styles into the @adelphidance curriculum this year, my goal was to create space for every dancer to be physically bold, emotionally fearless, and unapologetically themselves. “LET’S GET LOUD” is both a celebration and reminder that representation matters. When dancers feel empowered, they rise in extraordinary ways. I could not be more honored to present this work. So proud of this incredible group of dancers. 💛🤎 Come watch “LET’S GET LOUD” and 5 incredible works at Spring Dance Adelphi from April 22-26!! #AdelphiUniversity #DanceNY #BFADance #JazzDance
