And yes… **he’s taller than me.** 😄

It’s been so much fun dancing with William since we started our professional partnership! 💙 Every opportunity to get on the ballroom floor together has been a chance to learn, grow, compete, and enjoy what we love most about dance.

This trip was extra special because it brought me back to Kansas City, my former home, where it was wonderful to reconnect with so many friends from the dance community.

That does not mean you cannot dance.
