This is by far my favorite piece we’ve ever created. The song is so raw and so powerful and these dancers brought every single bit of emotion they had to the stage! “I Hope You Hear Me” received a perfect score (black onyx) @hollywoodconnectiondance regionals and nationals. Extra sad to see this one go, but cannot wait for Season III! Dear dancers, thank you for constantly exceeding expectations and always going all in. It’s a dream come true. So much love for all of you♥️. @alyssa.amarillas @tara.elizabeth24 @_alex_fimbres @_evelyn.alejandraa @kerrigan.dance @ryleigh.bonar @keira_michieli @oma_grace_wood @_saffron_defazio_ @luv_laney1 @presleysarullo @rae_dance05 Choreo: @_oliviadean_ & myself Studio: @colabdancearts Convention: @hollywoodconnectiondance

The focus of the night was abandonment and these dancers did just that. I said leave it all on the floor and they took that to a whole new level. Thank you @alyssa.amarillas and @kerrigan.dance for putting your full heart in this combo♥️ you guys are so special.

This piece went above and beyond my expectations. My favorite part of choreographing is giving dancers a story and a vision and watching them make it into something I could never even have imagined it being. Special thanks to @alyssa.amarillas @tara.elizabeth24 @_alex_fimbres and @_evelyn.alejandraa for your passion. It is truly inspiring♥️ @_oliviadean_ I cannot wait to see what we come up with next year!

This is my attempt at a normal post ✌🏼 (I also finally wore my hat)

My favorite part about teaching and creating is getting to work with such amazing artists. These dancers have created a space for me to learn and grow as a choreographer and I could never be more grateful 🤍 I originally made up this combo to a totally different song, then chose to teach it to this one, then later on in the night had the dancers do it to a totally different part of the song. Dance should always be experimental. The only way we are growing is by trying something new again and again. So to these artists, to this space, and to my amazing partner @_oliviadean_ I would not be where I am without you♥️♥️ 🏠: @colabdancearts 🧠: @_crystal_clear_ 🎵: @david.kushner 🎥: @_oliviadean_ #dancechoreography #dancecombo #tucsondance #arizonadance #dancelighting #choreography #danceskills #dancetricks #contemporary #contemporarydance

Sky is the limit when it comes to loving you 💫

Love dancing @_oliviadean_ choreography in the four walls that we’ve established and made a home. To every single dancer that was in the room tonight thank you for being the biggest inspiration I could ever ask for. Cannot wait for what’s in store for us this year. If there’s one thing I know for sure it is that this is exactly where I was meant to be. Love you all endlessly and would not be where I am today without each and every one of you♥️ @colabdancearts
