"The first time I danced on the Radio City stage was incredible. When that curtain rises and you see that theatre and the audience, it’s unreal. Absolutely amazing. My first performance with the Rockettes was not actually in the Christmas Spectacular. It was a PR event for the grand re-opening of the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. There was a huge flood in Nashville, and it was really devastating. They had a big grand re-opening for the Gaylord Opryland hotel with over two million christmas lights and fireworks. We performed a number, and in a kickline, we counted down to the grand re-opening. The entire stage and hotel was shining in lights and fireworks were booming everywhere. For me, it was my first time ever doing a kickline in front of an audience, and it was such a beautiful moment. I was living my dream. It’s a performance I will never forget."
