Windy for sure 🌬️

10 years of having absolutely too much fun together 🍾 love you @amanda_treiber_scales xoxo

Thank you @vaildancefest 🌲🌲🌲 I loved playing daily class on that beautiful stage, learning new repertoire in rehearsals, watching the dancers and choreographers expand their artistry, and performing lots of Philip Glass for works by Justin and Jamar. Probably the biggest highlight though was the chance to listen to and learn from an absolutely killer group of musicians (Cam, Joel, Davòne, Youba, Johnny, Colin, Nicholas, Michael, Music from the Sole, Caroline, etc…) 🎵What an amazing place!

🇫🇷🥐💓 @amanda_treiber_scales my favorite travel partner 😚

This weekend we are celebrating @amanda_treiber_scales in her final performances with New York Theatre Ballet! ✨What does 15 years in a ballet company look like? Joys and frustrations, triumphs and injuries, expensive dinners and cheap motels, and everything in between. I have watched your artistic growth with absolute amazement, in awe of the challenges you have overcome and the beauty you have created as a dancer, as a leader, as a choreographer. You have poured your entire self into every role on stage and off. You are a total inspiration to me and so many others. I’m so proud of you Amanda and I can’t wait to watch your creativity explode past the walls of this institution! These are just a few of my favorite moments with you and watching you over the years 💕 1. In the Catskills 2. In Jerome Robbins’ Antique Epigraphs at the Gardner Museum 3. In rehearsal with David Gordon 4. After performing Merce Cunningham Septet at 92Y 5. In Donald Mahler’s Cinderella 6. Preparing backstage for Sugar Plum in Fresno 7. Performing Jerome Robbins’ Rondo in Managua 8. Backstage at LaMaMa 9. Nutcracker on tour in Joplin 10. On stage before performing Marco Pelle’s Libera
