HAPPY FEBRUARY!!!
Tomorrow, the 2nd, is my birthday :) But today is my first day off in awhile... so I'd like to share some pictures from the last couple of months!
We're back in production for the back nine episodes of Glee!! This is my favorite show to work on because the choreographer Zach Woodlee and his assistant Brooke Lipton make this one of the most fun jobs ever. I love the characters and all the other Cheerios!
The next episodes I'm in are "Hello" scheduled to air on April 13 and "The Power of Madonna" schedule for April 20th.
On location at Glee's McKinley High!
The Cheerios and Cory!
Walking to set on the Paramount lot!
Cheerios and their trailers!! :D
I've had the privilege of dancing with a new music artist most well know for her hit single, "Now I'm that Chick" featuring Pitbull, Miss Livvi Franc! I love her music and have had a blast traveling with her and the other dancer Hannah Douglass. We've performed at clubs, an award show in Barbados and in her music video. Below is a screenshot from the Barbados Music Awards 2010.
CHICAGO!! One of the best crowds to perform for...
Below is a series of photos from a new tour I'm a part of called the Nuclear Cowboyz. It's a huge theatrical production shown arena style starring the top freestyle motocross riders, dancers, pyrotechnics, stilt walkers, fire breathers, and the infamous grinder girl! Below is the battle between the leader of the Metal Mulisha and the Soldiers of Havoc... where I'm cheering on the Metal Mulisha leader Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg. (doing a crazy trick not in the photo haha)
Below is Ferly Prado (left), a fellow dancer cheering on her Soldiers of Havoc team leader, Adam Jones while Twitch and I watch.
Below, Adar Wellington (left) and I steer our attention away from the craziness happening on the floor to hear what the team leaders have to say...
Nuclear Cowboyz...
A picture from a dance number we do on Nuclear Cowboyz where the Soldiers of Havoc ladies face off with the Metal Mulisha ladies...
Backstage I caught a shot with Ana (left) and Kristina, stilt walkers, and Kiva "Grinder Girl" in her fire outfit!
Here's a glimpse of the Nuclear Cowboyz in action!

After show signings and photo sessions... the riders sit and sign autographs while we stand ready for anyone interested in a photo.

My boyfriend, Ryron, comes to many of the cities with me and teaches classes in some of those locations. Check out www.gracieacademy.com to see where he'll teach next!

Another photo from the set of FREAK DANCE!
I was also super excited to be a part of a fashion show and performance that relates to my heritage. With the new opening of An Qi at the South Coast Plaza, they had a grand opening that allowed us to bring their customers a fashion and musical experience in their native way. Below I'm modeling a modern take on the traditional Vietnamese wear.
In these photos, I am captured dancing my rendition of the Geisha 'deadly dance.'
The Gracie brothers and I were invited to attend the Environmental Media Awards held at the Paramount Lot and really enjoyed the performances, awards and gift bags!
HALLOWEEN IN NYC!! New York is more serious about Halloween that I've ever experienced in LA... but I had so much fun performing with Livvi Franc at this club!
Backstage before performing with Wisin y Yandel ft 50 Cent at the MTV Los Premios Awards!
With Gina and Lindsay who were performing with Kelly Rowland at the same awards show!!
This is a shot from a feature film I was honored to be a part of called "Freakdance." Starring actors from the Upright Citizens Brigade and featuring guest spots from SNL comedians, this movie is going to be hilarious! We were dancers in it... choreographer Kathryn Burns in the middle.
