Favorite Ballets
Serenade by George Balanchine: It is a genius ballet in so many ways--the formations, flow of choreography, and all the women on stage moving together like leaves in the wind. It's a spiritual experience for the dancers and the audience.
A Defining Moment
Most of the defining moments in my training and career have been facilitated through mentorship from my teachers and directors. I grew up dancing in a small studio in Connecticut, mostly doing jazz and tap routines and local competitions. My teacher, Mary Morlock, saw my potential for ballet and brought me to a 2-week ballet seminar in New York City when I was 12. I was asked to join the JKO School through that intensive, and that was when I realized I wanted to dedicate my life to being a dancer.
