"My residency at Peridance was a pivotal moment in my career. I was offered a residency there, and it truly marked a new beginning for me. Before this, I had never been able to create work on the scale I envisioned because I lacked the time and space to do so. Peridance gave me both, allowing my vision to finally come to life.

 

It was during this residency that The Fabulous Waack Dancers were born. We hosted our first auditions and spent the first four months in company rehearsals, developing our initial performances. This marked the beginning of what would eventually become The Fabulous Big Show, which premiered at Lincoln Center and went on to tour at the WOW Festival in San Diego.

 

I, along with The Fabulous Waack Dancers, am deeply grateful to Peridance and to Nikki for this incredible opportunity. Without it, we wouldn't be where we are today."
