Here’s to forever! 💍 From the moment I met Roman, I saw so many of the special qualities within him that my dad had, and I have never felt so sure about making a decision as getting to say yes to him! You are kind and thoughtful and I feel like the luckiest woman in the world. I love you and everything about you more than words can say ❤️ Now I get to call you my forever! #engaged #iloveyou #love #myforever #engagementring
It’s hard for me to write this, but yesterday I had to let my Cali go to a better place. Anyone who knows me, knows that the two of us were a package deal. Wherever I went, she went. She came to class and rehearsal with me every day, was my dressing roommate during shows, licked my tears through all of my low points, curled around my head the day I found out about my neck injury, and traveled the world with me. Someone once even spotted her on a plane and asked me, “Is that Cali from Ballet Now!?” I giggled and said, “Yes. They then replied, “Oh and are you the ballerina?”😂 I loved that people spotted her and felt they knew my sweet girl. The two of us were certainly inseparable and I feel like a piece of myself and heart is now missing. She was the best dog ever; well behaved to the point you thought she was almost a human. In fact, I think she thought so too as she would look at other dogs and bark if they were misbehaving. She was definitely a lady and loved to sit with her arms crossed like a swan and her legs turned out. I feel very grateful that she was in my life for almost 16 years and as hard as this is going to be for me, the only thing making me feel remotely better is that she is at peace and hopefully ran right to my daddy and gave him a big hug for me. My heart is breaking but I will always remember our time together ❤️ #bestfriend #doggy #sidekick #caligirl #furryfriend #love #imissyou #foreverlove

Happy Birthday to my beautiful grandma! Everyone who knows me knows Princess 👑 She is definitely one of a kind and a huge part of how I got where I am today.

She is glamorous and would do absolutely anything for her family. We love you gma!!!! Keep swiping to enjoy some priceless videos 😀 #birthday #grandma #sunday #family #generations

The New Year didn’t start out the way we were hoping for this year, but we’re all together and in better spirits Grandma is in New York and unfortunately took a little tumble. She is doing just fine spirit wise, but has a minimal hip fracture that needs to be fixed. We would so appreciate sending some positive thoughts and prayers our way as she heads into surgery today. Somehow she still looks fashionable with her high ponytail heading into surgery!!! So thankful I’m able to be with her! #prayers #surgery #grandma #love #positivethoughts #family
Saturday’s are for sneak peeks! So excited to give you a little glimpse into something new I’m working on! Can you name that ballet!? Making it even harder for you without the music 😜 #tutu #ballerina #saturday #sneekpeek #ballet #ballerina #promenade #partner #rehearsal #new
How many pairs of pointe shoes did I go through this Nutcracker season? Final answer… 27 pairs! 🤯 Good job to everyone that guessed correctly! Now off to wear them again for rehearsals 🩰 #PointeShoes #Shoes #Ballet #Ballerina #Dancing #Performance #Rehearsal #DressingRoom #Packing #reels #pointe #dressingroom #december #nutcracker
Come to rehearsals with me but this time from a choreographer’s POV 👀 Creating a solo for a dancer feels like a very special and intimate process. I have loved exploring the many different facets of Aran’s dancing, and my hope was to make something for him to explore endless possibilities in and find different qualities within his own dancing. Let me know in the comments if you’ll be in the audience with me tomorrow at Fall for Dance to see @aran_bell and all of the other artists shine! ⬇️ 🎵 Meredith Monk’s Piano Songs #newwork #choreography #choreographer #create #ballerina #rehearsal #ballerina #process
Post-surgery recovery day with my grandma! She has been learning how to walk and sit down again. I’m so proud of her progress and I think she is too with all of her thumbs up 😂 Thank you to everyone who send their well wishes! I’m so happy I get to be with her during her recovery process ❤️ #family #grandma #love #recovery #reels #postop #physicaltherapy
