What an unforgettable night at the Spring Talent Show hosted by Emily @echertow from @journalingclasses ✨ We came together to move, express, and celebrate creativity in every form from raw emotion to powerful performance energy. Every moment on that stage reflected growth, courage, and community.

Stay tuned. Stay ready. Stay moving. 💃🔥 #SpringTalentShow #DanceQueensFitness #CommunityInMotion #NYCPerformers #LivePerformanceEnergy

join @journalingclasses in the cozy corners at @inthecraftnook at @haricovert for playful evening of collaging, mindful writing prompts, and creativity. we’ll begin with guided prompts to get the ideas flowing, then drop into a cutie crafting session decorating our journals with stickers, paper scraps, magazine cutouts, textures, colors, and whatever else calls to us. this night is inspired by nostalgia, whimsy, self-expression, and the magic of making something with your hands. an evening to slow down, create, and reconnect with your playful side is on the way! ✨

slow down, tune in, and make something that feels like you ♡ next week, emily of @journalingclasses will be hosting an evening of intentional journaling & mindfulness collaging. expect a gentle, creative practice for following your intuition and putting feeling to paper. no rules, no pressure—just paper, scissors, and a little bit of creative magic ೃ࿔ tickets linked in bio...

I threw an absolute banger at the @brooklynbowl for our SIXTH Talent Show [for adults]. Over 300 breathing HUMANS showed up and we partied together. Rejoicing in the power of people, and acts of celebration / joy / creativity. True magic occurred on Thursday night. The big love I pour into all things flows right back to me 10x over and I’m reminded of that as I reflect on Talent Show. A gift to express my creativity and bring my ideas to life while giving other artists and creatives the main stage to do the same thing. wow I am floating high on it all today. 📸 magic by @blennon.creatives — book her for all ur event needs. She captures the night so magically.

we might be two days out from our next talent show (!!!) and so stoked for what’s ahead… but we’re still thinking about and celebrating our talent from our january performance: Jacob @jakefrominstagraaam opened the night with mood saxophone, flute, and a little music theory moment. sonic grounding. instant vibe shift. Tim Cerniglia @tim_cerniglia character monologue that fully committed. frat bro… yeah. Leanne Gallati @leannegallati original song that felt honest, warm, and quietly powerful. the kind you lean into. Liza @lizabanks11 stand-up with sharp timing and zero fear. lots of abe lincoln discourse. Jessica Bachansingh @jessicaann1201 baton twirling that reminded us how mesmerizing skill + joy can be. Ann Samuelson @annzplanz smut storytelling. bold, hilarious, tastefully unhinged. crowd locked in. Sarah Schreib @dinnerwalkmusic original song that landed soft and strong. felt like a deep exhale. Meredith Brandt @merbrandt musical comedy with heart and punchlines. theatre kid energy (the best way). Brian Helfman @thirdnature_ smart, observational stand-up. big laughs, easy rhythm. Emily Chertow @echertow orange-eating performance art?? chaos?? commitment?? loved the energy. Max @maxdavidsonmagic magic + mind-reading that made us gasp and side-eye our friends. Luke @lstrathm yo-yo tricks and a powerpoint. precision, humor, great form Photos by @amykathwills and @blennon.creatives
