IT'S HERE!!! Feeling INCREDIBLY grateful to have worked as the #choreographer for@kickstartent and @mattel on this film! As someone whose bedroom floor was littered with Barbie dolls as a kid, I had many "pinch me" moments throughout this process of dancing and embodying these characters!

Special thank you to @sashamduncan for introducing me to this project! Getting to work on something with your fellow pals and creatives is truly the greatest gift 💜

A few clips from my latest choreo work for @mattel & @kickstartent 🎬💜

Had a great time developing these preschool dance-along episodes for the Barney & Friends series! Crafting choreography that balances character, storytelling, and accessibility for young audiences makes my heart sing - especially when it’s for some very iconic dinos! 🦕

All videos are now up on YouTube!

These kiddos gave everything on set, and getting to guide them through movement and performance was pure joy. A personal favorite, all thanks to this team + project in the books!

Special thanks to powerhouses @beesutts and @teresachan_ for leading this team & bringing me on board! 🙏🏻

First spot back in front of the lens in a long while! 🎬

I wouldn't be here without my wonderful agent @pamelawise_talentagent who's always hustling hard for her clients - you truly never know where a casual chat on @annamaeabia 's couch can take you! 🪩

Super grateful for this opportunity, to the team that made it happen - and @ginamikkelady for being such a joy to spend the day with 💜

✨🎬 Modern Vintage Magic 🎬✨

First Team Acting was born out of my deep love for storytelling, but the vibe? That’s all pure disco-lit magic, straight from the heart of the 70s. 💃🪩

As a hustle dancer (shout out to @hustleatrs !), I’ve fallen head over heels for the colors, textures, and infectious energy of that golden era. It's movement, mood, and just the right amount of sparkle—all rolled into one.

When it came time to bring my brand to life, I knew I needed the perfect collaborators, and I couldn't have asked for a better team than the dream duo I worked with:

📸 Alayna Burn of @inspiredbyaaphotography —her incredible talent behind the lens captured the very soul of our story with pure cinematic magic. Many more photoshoots in our future!!

🎨 Lauren Moreno of @fridahouse.co — she not only brought the vision to life with a brand design that seamlessly blends modern clarity and vintage charm in the most breathtaking way - she also fully styled me from outfits to poses for this shoot!

I’m BEYOND grateful for the opportunity to work with these two visionaries who elevated the shoot beyond anything I imagined, while making me feel so comfortable and cool as heck!

From warm burnt oranges and sun-faded golds to the grain of old film and the electric energy of a set just before “Action!”—this shoot was eeeeeeverything I hoped for and more. It’s modern vintage, groovy glam, and of course, First Team Acting. 🎞️
