I had to reflect on this one again.

15 months ago I tore my Achilles. I couldn’t walk for months. After endless physio, uncertainty, and wondering if I would ever walk normally again, let alone dance again, I kept trying to stay positive through the pain. Even when my other Achilles started hurting from compensation.

With all the great days, there were also many hard dark ones. Days where I had to find strength and courage I didn’t even know I had.

The day of HYROX became more than just a race for me. It was a reminder of what time, patience, hard work, and the support of family and friends can do.

Crossing that finish line was emotional. It reminded me that I made it through one of the hardest chapters of my life.

Looking back at these past months is overwhelming, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come and even more excited for what’s next. We got space for patches so let’s go!!!

After months of training, I finally crossed the finish line at my 1st HYROX in Barcelona.

This journey was a long one. Just 15 months ago, I fully tore my Achilles tendon and had surgery. The road back has been insane, but this moment was proof to myself that I got this. That I can achieve anything I put my mind to.

HYROX pushes you to a place that really defines your character. Mentally. Physically. Emotionally.

I’m beyond grateful that I got to experience my first one with my sister. Months ago she told me HYROX was coming to BCN and my response was simple: “Say less, let’s go.” We trained together for one day back in December and kept that same energy going long distance all the way to race day.

So many people helped me get here and I honestly don’t even know where to begin. From all my physio @fisioterapiakineo in Spain, to my brother-in-law @dolosfitness training us, to the team at @wezonecrossfit_BCN @marinacrismariu for pushing me through hybrid classes while I kept running as much as I could… thank you.

The Callender Kids took over and crossed that finish line together.

21 years ago, I started my journey at the Juilliard School as a student.

21 years later, I’m back… in a different capacity, but still holding on to the curiosity and spirit of being a student.

It feels incredible to be home again in New York City after 11 years away.

Let’s do this

LDIF 2026 reminded me that this festival feels more like a family reunion, led by Auntie Pawlet @serendipityinstituteuk .

Being invited back to teach another masterclass was truly a jam.

That’s the culture, love, and mission LDIF carries.

Seeing friends and dance colleagues from the US, UK, Africa, and across the Caribbean has been incredible. Family reunion is the best way I can describe it.

During class, I felt compelled to create on the spot to “Jack” (Dah Beach Is Mine) by the great Barbadian calypsonian Mighty Gabby, a song that speaks to the attempted privatization of Barbados beaches in 1982 by foreigners, immigrants to the country.

The beach is for all of we!

See mommy, I told you I was gonna create to Jack 😉

Between traveling to Madrid to shoot a commercial and pushing through HYROX-style hybrid training this week, my lower back started to feel it!!

That’s when I realized I hadn’t done any Pilates all week. Funny how quickly the body notices when it’s missing its medicine.

Here I am moving through a boomerang into crab.

practice practice practice

Beyond thankful for my training with my teachers @basipilatesbarcelona @karolbasipilates @niurka_couceiro 🙏🏾🧡

Happy international dance day

In celebration of @marthagrahamdance 100 anniversary this year, I’m sharing this moment from 2008 Spring Dances at @juilliardschool performing Martha Graham’s Appalachian Spring with live music by Juilliard's Axiom Ensemble

Deeply grateful to @teresecapucilli for guiding and shaping me into the role of the Preacher.

Fun fact, the OG in the role of preacher was Merce Cunningham.

’Tis a gift to be simple, ’tis the gift to be free…

My first HYROX loading

In the middle of the prep, I keep coming back to pilates

Today it was the reformer and I
A reminder to slow it down
To move with control
To breathe through the effort
To find balance when things get shaky

Exactly what HYROX is asking of me right now

Should I gate keep or tell the Hyrox peeps 🧐😉🫠🤣
