One week ago today I walked in to a room of 29 other former Knicks City Dancers from the first team in 91′-92′ to little me, who is the newest and youngest alumni to be chosen to be a part of this team of KCD all stars.

When I received word that I was going to be a part of the 20th anniversary team and performance with hip hop legend Rob Base I was of course ecstatic and flattered. However I had no idea that going back to Madison Square garden with some KCD legends was going to be one of most inspirational experiences of my life to date.

Being a Knicks City Dancer will always be one of my proudest accomplishments- if not my proudest, so to be given an opportunity to grace the court one more time was a huge blessing. But an even bigger blessing was meeting the women who paved the way for what the KCD are today. And let me tell you- these women STILL have it! Not just the looks and bodies but these girls can still throw down on the dance floor!

After leaving my first rehearsal for our performance I felt so excited to perform again KCD style but I couldn’t stop talking about the other former KCD I had met. How stunningly gorgeous every single one of them was, how talented they all were and how IN SHAPE these ladies were (half of them have toddlers! I was in shock and awe! Six pack abs everywhere!)

It was so funny to hear all their stories and it was even better to hear all their stories about life after KCD and where their careers have taken them– even more inspiration! These girls STILL work in the industry! All though I’m not surprised because each and everyone of them are so talented.

I am so happy to be a part of this sisterhood of strong, talented, independent and beautiful women! Once a KCD always a KCD and these women have inspired me to keep working hard.

This industry has some of the highest highs and the lowest lows. But I will willingly take each low because nothing compares to how it feels to wake up everyday and do what you love. With all of that said- I would just like to thank everyone I met last week for inspiring me to keep on keeping on in this industry we all love! Also to inspire me to stay strong and healthy for life because you girls are HOT!
