For the longest time I wanted to choreograph and reinterpret CARMEN. There she is; fearless, independent, a boss lady with cojones. 🎲 🐂 💀 ♥️
Thank you @lourdesmcb for giving me a platform to express who Carmen could be. ❤️

And thank you dancers of @miamicityballet for embracing each role with so much commitment. ❤️
