July 3-7, 2017: Lots of Dancing, Lots of Familiar Faces, and Lots of Celebrating

So many of my favorite people are here at The Dance Awards. It’s so much fun running into everyone, taking class with them, and watching them compete! I got to hang out and dance with everyone from Tate McRae, to Allison Hoker, to Teddy Forance.

I competed my solo, which was choreographed by the one and only Al Blackstone! I made it into the top 4, which meant I performed again, this time for the title of Mini Male Best Dancer…and I won! I couldn’t be more excited for the next year assisting The Dance Awards!
