Funny story on how I found myself at “Bootnannys”…lol. I got the audition for this movie “Noah’s Arc” some years ago, like two or three maybe. I confirmed the audition time, & date, & prepped to get down for this dance audition. As I walk into the studio, everyone there are wearing spandex, tights, & heels. So I was asked one of the dancers if I was In the right place, & he confirmed I was…but I was still very lost because I’m a hip hop dancer, not contemporary, let alone in HEELS. S/o to those who were hitting every beat & positions in heels too 💯..
But yeah naw, so they asked if I was “swift”, I said “yeah”, & they placed in slap-dap in the middle of everyone, looking like a sore thumb. Not only from the way I was dressed, but from the style of dance. Choreography/contemporary are separate beasts of dance compared to hip hop & freestyle.
So long story short, I was in everybody’s way while trying to follow the counts, & completely bombed that audition. I’m talking I was stepping on toes & everything, deadass. Til they said “okay so now yall freestyle”…I said “f*** it. We here, let’s deliver”, so I did just that. Once I was done, I shook hands, & dipped. Couple weeks later, they ask me to come back.
So here you have it, the new movie now streaming on
