👋 I had to put this list together recently and thought I’d share! Here are some of the 70+ artists I’ve worked with as a dancer, choreographer and director. Thank you to everyone who gave me these opportunities over the years! #dancer #choreographer #director #allowmetoreintroducemyself #reels

Happy #InternationalDanceDay 💃🏾 Which style of dance is your fave?

5 Year "River" Anniversary! Thank you to everyone who came to class on Saturday. It sold out as soon as it was posted, and I appreciate all of you who were there. To be able to do it maskless, this solo was filmed in the freshly sanitized studio alone, separate from class. ❤️ Full video of class coming soon! I'm teaching it again DIGITALLY this Saturday, the 22nd! Link in bio for tickets. You can join from anywhere in the world in an interactive Livestream class. 48 hour replay if you aren't free on Saturday. Might teach it again in person after the surge is done! 🤔Should I do a 5-Year Anniversary for "Love on the Brain?!" That's coming up next month as well!!!! _______ 2017 video 🎥 @timmilgram 💃 @nicolekirkland @porciahendrix 2022 video 🎥@rudekoji

@GalenHooks choreography danced by @jhamla I’ve known her since I was 11 or 12! ❤️ She & @shealanspencer were @margueritederricks right hand assistants for my teenage years. I was brought up in the generation under them to assist Marguerite & soaked in every sec of watching them. ___ She’s a choreographer in her own right & doesn’t learn other people’s choreo often. 🧠 IMO, here’s what dancers like Jen, Shea, & others of that generation & the generation before have that is missing from the way new dancers are taught: - Understanding the point of the routine. That sounds like a given, but a lot of younger dancers don’t have this - Sexiness in jazz choreography (& the right kind of sexiness) - Ballsy execution - Musicality. But in a much different way than young dancers approach musicality - Maturity (which was there even when they were 17) - Face, eyes, hands Let alone the way she LEARNED the choreography, which was exactly how you’re supposed to approach it. There’s a laundry list more & each of the bulletpoints could have pages of explanation. But for now, a huge thank you to Jen for taking the time to do this! ____ 🎟️ The routine will be taught at “NIGHT OF DANCE”: 🌴LA June 17 🌎Global livestream class June 24. Can’t make it that day? There is access until July 1! 🎟️ Tix in bio! @davematthewsband #CrashIntoMe 🎥 @vibrvncy

All-Levels Jazz (and sort of lyrical!). I’ll have an even simpler “B version” in class when I teach it for those of you who want an easier option! I made up 2 new routines that are based on a huge sense of nostalgia for old school jazz classes. After the “Sweet Dreams” combo, so many of you requested a beginner/intermediate routine. This one is for you! It’s the perfect routine if you: - haven’t danced in a long time & miss it - want a routine that’s easy on your body but still lets you emote - just started dancing - are advanced but want to work on clean execution 🎟️ The routine will be taught at "NIGHT OF DANCE": 🌴LA June 17 🌎Global livestream class June 24. Can’t make it that day? There is access until July 1! 🎟️ Tix in bio! Yes for our booked and blessed @ashley.seldon @janabthompkins showing they can do it all! @davematthewsband #CrashIntoMe 🎼

🥳 New all-levels routine coming tomorrow! First one in almost a year! It's the perfect routine if you: - haven't danced in a long time & miss it - want a routine that's easy on your body but still lets you emote - just started dancing - are advanced but want to work on clean execution _______ The routine will be taught 🌴 L.A. June 17 🌍 Global digital livestream June 24 with access until July 1. 🎟️ Link in bio

1st time in over 6 months teaching in L.A. and Digitally. There are classes for every level of dancer, from beginner to pro. There is tons of info on the website on what to expect ❤️ Can't wait to see my regulars and to meet new faces! 🎟️ LINK IN BIO

More #GoodTrouble episodes! Art imitating life, playing myself teaching classes. 2nd slide- I wish corrections were executed like that 😂 There are so many episodes full of dancing - check it out on Hulu!

🎉 My 1st time working w/ Roro was @MarquesHouston “All Because of You” vid in 2005! Roro choreographed & I was a dancer. I was also dancing for Ne-Yo on the Scream tour in 2006 when @Omarion went on before us. I loved watching this choreography every night! It was so cool. We’ve crossed paths on other jobs over the years thanks to @jamaicacraft bringing us in as choreographers. _____ Roro has been M.I.A. for yearsssssss- I freaked out when I saw he’s been teaching the original @Omarion choreography lately. I asked if he’d teach me “Icebox” cause I missed class 😬 He was kind enough to do it- 18 years later, here we are! _____ ⏰ Learned this whole thing in about 20 min & I KNOW THAT I AM MESSING UP & IT MAKES ME SO MAD CAUSE I WANTED TO DO IT EXACTLY HOW RORO IS DOING IT BUT MY BODY DOESN’T HAVE THE STAMINA IT DID WHEN I WAS 20 & I CAN’T GET THE DETAILS WHEN MY BODY IS TIRED 😭 But look, if I had slept on it, rehearsed it again the next day...🤷🏽‍♀️ ______ 📝 It is so refreshing to learn other people’s choreography & get corrections again. He gave me so many great corrections. I might post some of that so you can see the process cause the way pro dancers learn choreography now is missing really integral thought processes. Maybe I’ll explain what’s missing in the way you’re currently learning choreo compared to the way you ideally want to be learning it. Ok, that’s all for now. Enjoy! _____ Choreo @roography Song @omarion Icebox

Happy #NationalTapDanceDay! Here's to missed sounds all over the place and no stamina and rudimentary rhythms but doing it anyways even though you don't consistently practice cause it's one of the best dance forms to ever exist. Happy birthday Bojangles!

Rehearsals from the last episode of Good Trouble. More easter eggs! Can you name the routines I remixed here? 👀 What an awesome group to get to have in our TV-show-version-of-class 💪🏾 Dancers: @stevielyne @ashleycmeverett @ashley.seldon @denzel_chisolm @alysonvan @carinacontiofficial @klassikkanec @bailey_swift_ @thumperduce @taylorbanks39 @noellemarsh @jennydailey88 @jayme_rae @brimorrison_ @teddycoffey @kaitlynhardy_ @i.am.bounce @kalbepaige @laniermckinney @aaronquini @jchillen_ @antoniohudnell @im_miikey @rastapha @brandonbeltran @char_real @jakelandgrebe @elijahjoliver @jazzsmith.a @charlizeglass @janabthompkins Assistants @kaylaradomski @macyswaimyy GHM Alum @ghmalumni: @kelladactyl @emma_hauser @jasminebeaulieu @tayashawki @paytongrayofficial_ @alyxandrushuk @jaxxramos @krystalellsworth

🌍 International Dance Day 🌍 is always a reminder of experiences like these where dance is put into perspective. We get further and further from the source of dance as time goes by. Here's a glimpse into some of the oldest recordings of dance in the world's history! #angkorwat #cambodia #internationaldanceday
