My Return to the Stage

After a year and a half of mostly sitting at home, dancing for self-taped auditions and occasional classes, I returned to guesting in Nutcrackers.

This year took me to three different cities with a few different partners.

It was a pleasure to be back on stage with a live audience, and in one case, a live orchestra. Although my first moments back in my first dress rehearsal were a bit jarring after having faced a dark house and brightly lit stage in over a year!

Below is a recording of one of our livestreamed performances with live orchestra.

People always ask me how I can travel so much.

When I work, like I do with these guestings, the company pays for my travel. My other trips, like my $200 roundtrip to India, I use travel hacks!

One of my favorite cards is the Chase Southwest card, for domestic travel. Looking to travel in the US cheaply? Southwest miles go a LONG way. And once you redeem the points, it’s only $11 in taxes!
