The Road to Capezio A.C.E.

Help Bring My Work to the Capezio A.C.E. Awards in NYC

I’m deeply honored to share that I’ve been selected as a finalist for the Capezio A.C.E. Awards, a national choreography competition that highlights emerging voices in dance. This August, I’ve been invited to present my work in New York City as part of the Dance Teacher Summit, among a small group of choreographers whose artistry I truly admire. To be included in a circle of such profound and inspiring makers is both humbling and surreal.

It has been one of my life’s quiet honors to pass down the art that shaped me — to guide young, curious, and expressive artists as they discover their own voices through movement. To now have the chance to share this work on a national stage — with dancers who have grown alongside me and poured themselves into the process — is a dream I don’t take lightly.

As I work to cover the costs of travel and lodging for myself and my dancers, I’m humbly asking for your support. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to making this opportunity possible. I’ve already been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and belief in this project — and I truly can’t thank you enough.

As a small way to give back, please be on the lookout for a donation-based class I’ll be hosting soon as a thank-you to this incredible community.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for helping us make this vision a reality.
