one of those big names I was talking about that was going to be in the web series I'm working on is...
Snoop Dogg!
THE Snoop Doggy Dogg.
Our director announced the good news today that it is official and contracts have been worked out and Snoop Dogg will be joining our cast playing the character Papa Skwaught.
Here is my latest. I taught this at Club Style last night. We had to kind of rush through the ending, so it's a little rough, but we're going to fix it up and extend it next week. What do you think?
The show is going to be a comedy, and it follows two medical doctors who are trying to simultaneously juggle hip-hop careers alongside their medical duties. The doctors have big plans with their music until competition steps in their way. Arch nemesis rapper, Tyrannosaurus Death, shows up in town and isn’t willing to leave without a battle: a hip-hop battle.
The series will have 6 episodes. I am in charge of all choreography for the music videos, which will be in the first, fourth, and sixth episodes.
I can now announce some of the amazing cast we will have on the project. First up, Tyrannosaurus Death, played by Danny Trejo:
Next, Ma Cakes. Played by the ever hilarious Glozell Green. You will all know her from this fabulous video that went viral:
We will have a guest appearance by the amazing Lindsey Stirling, who was on America's Got Talent:
And also an appearance by the super talented Karmin. I like this version of Super Bass better than the original Nicki Minaj version:
There are a few other names I wish I could add to this list, but as their contracts are not finalized, I can't publicly declare who they are. But just know, this thang is gonna be HUGE. I wish you could hear the music tracks too. They're amazing. I can't wait.
So You Think You Can Dance. And I'm already amazed by the talent of not only the dancers, but the choreographers as well. This last week definitely did not fail to impress. I already have my favorite couples. But these two take the cake:
Do you watch this show? Who are your favorites? I can't wait to see more.
Life has a funny way of throwing us for a whirl sometimes. Both for the good and the bad.
Today I received a call saying one of my friends from high school took his own life yesterday.
I haven't talked to him since the beginning of my sophomore year of college, but it is still so strange.
This incident has got me thinking a lot. Do I reach out to my friends when I feel or they seem that they are in need? Do I wander around oblivious to the feelings and emotions of others? Do I ever try to make life just a little bit easier for those around me?
I think I am lacking in these areas. I wish I could be better, and I wish I could have been there to help my friend. It makes me sad that I hadn't reached out and got back in contact with him in so long. Now my chance in this life is gone.
I have a new resolve to be better at keeping old friendships and building up the new, and really being there for my friends when they need me. Heaven knows they have helped me through so much.
An expression came to my mind while we were talking about talents in church today. I want to live this with all my heart and I truly feel the power behind it now:
"Be the answer to someone else's prayer."
I have been learning so much more to never hesitate to serve at every opportunity you can. I will do my best. And you should join me on this mission!
I've probably told you all about my friend Ciera's band because I'm kind of obsessed. If you haven't heard them yet, here's them recording in the studio. They'll have an album out come September. Hopefully. Their music is so amazing. They write everything themselves. Just lovely. Enjoy!
My blog is mad at me. I haven't been giving it much attention. I've just been crazy busy with school and new choreography projects and huge decisions... sorry blog. Neglect you no more I shall.
So just a few things:
I'm really happy SYTYCD is back. It is the best show ever, pretty sure. I absolutely love the top 20. I can't wait to see all the amazing dances that will happen this season.
My web series is really starting to pick up on production. We've almost got our whole cast locked in (there are some pretty sweet names on the list) and it should be pretty sweet.
I got back to teaching yesterday. I only had three students. Summer enrollment bites. But it still feels great to be back teaching and choreographing even more.
I may have some big news coming up here pretty soon. Be excited for it.
I really like Beyonce's new song "The Best Thing I Never Had." Kind of fits my current situation... ha! Love it. It's over there ---> on the playlist if ya wanna hear it.
That's all I gotta say today. But I'm sorry blog followers! I will sincerely attempt to be a better blogger.
