Some clips from Thursday, while getting ready for the @iheartdance benefit gala tonight in support of the people of Ukraine, wearing my new Belen SD125 shoes courtesy of @sodancausa. I am performing Hopak (Gopak), because it is not only rooted in Ukrainian Folk Dance, but it was also taught to me by my amazing Ukrainian teacher Anatoli Kucheruk. I will also perform a pas de deux by @jameswhiteside with the beautiful @laurenlovette Doing what I can to help. This unjust war has to stop! A big thank you to @mariakowrowski and @njballet for opening their studios to me in preparation of the gala! Wonderful seeing you all again! Another thank you to @casefaceeeee for helping me get such great shoes! #brooklynmack #ballet #balletislife #hopak #gopak #greatcause #nyc #iheartdance #gala #fiaf #florencegouldhall #forukraine #ukraine #stopthewar
