When I moved to NYC in 2002 I was scared and doubtful I’d ever “make it” as a dancer. Then by the grace of God,
@michele.assaf changed the trajectory of my path and sponsored me giving me a chance to pursue my dream. Now 24 years later, I got to return to NYC for the honor of EMMY NOMINEE for Outstanding Choreography with
@ferlyprado and
@mschwandtinc . Though we didn’t win, it was a humbling reminder standing in the Jazz Theatre, (Columbus Circle) the same station I’d get off at to walk to Broadway Dance Center dozens of years ago. It’s a beautiful reminder that sometimes things turn out better than you can imagine. Thank you
@erinmarino for stepping in for production so I could choreograph this moment in time. Congratulations
@kristalbrooke and
@ferlyprado on your incredible work. Thank you
@mschwandtinc and
@doneanddustedtv for the rewarding opportunity!! 🤩 To the amazing cast, thank you for your incredible talent and unmeasurable efforts to get this across the line … And to my epic Assistant Choreographer
@taylordeethomas , you are beyond brilliant and this nomination is as much yours, as mine. Setting this piece of Jump stilts, jump ropers, juggler on stilts, roller skater with hula hoops, trickers, bboys, flaggers, baton twirler, fan tails, 8 marching band members and 10 dancers, in one rehearsal and everything we went through, is nothing short of a miracle! Thank you
@blocla for being my dance agency of 24 years and of course my family, who gave up everything for me to pursue this dream 🥹 In conclusion, there’s a lot of people to thank for making my dance career what it was 🙏🏻 I’m forever grateful. #emmynominated #choreographer
