✨Opening Weekend Story time! 👇🏻 5 years ago I was about to quit performing. I was completely uninspired with everything I saw and did. I felt so disconnected from something I used to love so much. Then I saw Nutcracker Rouge. It was my first time seeing an XIV show. I sat in the audience crying and thinking to myself “This...THIS is what I want to do!” I was captivated from the moment I walked in the theater and everyday after I walked out. Company XIV became my dream company. Flash Forward...We opened Nutcracker Rouge last night and i still can’t believe I get to perform on the stage and in the show I dreamed about being in for years. I can’t express how happy and grateful I am that this is my job. I get to strut around in @zanepihlstromdesigns costumes and @sarahciminomakeup makeup AND I’m surrounded by the most TALENTED AND SUPPORTIVE HUMANS EVER!!!! Thank you @austinmccormickxiv for casting me in this amazing production ❤️ HAPPY OPENING XIV!!! #dancer #dance #performer #companyxiv #bushwick #brooklyn #nyc
