It felt special to name the pieces in my latest collection after the women who have inspired me most. From mymost treasured teachers Tina Caspary, Suki Scorer, and Marguerite Derricks, to idols I grew up watching like Vera Ellen and Elizabeth Parkinson, to ballerinas I admire and look up to, and strong forces of nature like Debbie Allen and Susan Stroman, each of these incredible women have made a tremendous impact on me and it is my honor to pay them homage in this collection.
