00:00We need a choreographer.

00:01This guy, Jake Taylor,

00:02captain of the winning team

00:03three years in a row.

00:05We'd love to have you choreographed.

00:06What do you think?

00:07I think you can dance.

00:08You've worked with Netflix before

00:10on To All the Boys 2.

00:11What made you want to be

00:12a part of this movie?

00:13I love dance

00:14and I've been dancing

00:15for a very long time.

00:17And to be part of a new

00:19kind of culturally defining

00:20dance film

00:21that's super, super diverse,

00:23that is very character-driven

00:25in the way that

00:26the arcs of the story

00:28and how they all shape

00:30are shaped and take place

00:31is that it's really about people.

00:33It's not necessarily about dance,

00:35even though that's kind of

00:36the vehicle that you are riding in

00:38that takes you from point A to point Z.

00:40I didn't think that I would get to

00:42do such a fun dance film,

00:45especially not right now.

00:46Like when it happened,

00:47like it even felt like

00:49from the table read,

00:49like I didn't really know

00:51what I was getting myself into

00:52until we were on set

00:55and we were filming

00:55and we were doing these numbers

00:56and everything just looked so great

00:57and it was so fun and effortless.

00:59And obviously there's a lot of effort

01:00put into it,

01:01but I love dance my entire life.

01:03So I think getting to do this,

01:04like it hasn't really hit me yet.

01:06I don't think it's hit me

01:06that I'm a part of

01:08something so special.

01:10Senior year,

01:11I needed to join the dance team

01:12because the more

01:13extracurricular activities you do,

01:15the higher your chances are

01:16of getting into a top tier college.

01:17What type of dance experience

01:19did you have

01:19before signing on to this movie?

01:21Had ballet, tap,

01:23jazz,

01:25hands.

01:26And then I actually stopped

01:28doing ballet for a little bit.

01:29I went into middle school,

01:31real hormonal.

01:32I was just like,

01:33I'm not slipping that

01:33into a sausage casing leotard.

01:37Fine.

01:38I got told that at one point

01:40it built my personality.

01:40It was great.

01:42But it's a thing.

01:44So then I went into high school

01:45and I got into dance and drill team,

01:47which is such a Texas thing.

01:49So I lived my Friday Night Lights experience

01:51and doing all those kicks

01:52I didn't realize

01:53increased my flexibility

01:55to be able to do the splits

01:56about four times

01:58during the course of this film.

01:59So I'm a raised dancer

02:01and now I guess

02:02I'm a professional,

02:03a professional one.

02:04My mom was a dancer

02:05and my older sisters were.

02:07So it was all the sames,

02:09the taps,

02:09the jazzes,

02:10the ballets,

02:11the hip hop,

02:12believe it or not.

02:13And yeah,

02:13it was a huge part of my life

02:15and kind of what shaped me

02:17into the performer

02:19that I love being.

02:20You can't think your way through this.

02:22You gotta let your body drive you.

02:24I sure know what to do.

02:26Both you and Sabrina Carpenter

02:27were on Broadway.

02:28You and Darren Hanson

02:29and Sabrina and Mean Girls

02:30when Broadway shut down.

02:32What was it like

02:33saying goodbye to Broadway

02:34and when Broadway comes back,

02:35will you return to the stage?

02:37We didn't know

02:37that we were saying goodbye.

02:38You know,

02:39that's kind of the thing.

02:39We did,

02:40Sabrina was doing her second show.

02:42She did her second show.

02:43She did two shows

02:44of, you know,

02:45in her run

02:46and it's obviously,

02:47you know,

02:48super unfortunate.

02:49I at least got

02:50a little under halfway

02:52through my run

02:53so I was pretty set

02:54in, you know,

02:55kind of my routine

02:56and very, very close

02:57to my cast,

02:58et cetera, et cetera.

02:59But the initial shutdown

03:00was very temporary.

03:01It was only supposed to be

03:02like three weeks

03:03and so,

03:04obviously things have changed

03:05and we're waiting to hear

03:08when it's actually

03:09going to be able

03:09to come back up.

03:10Obviously,

03:10all of our fingers are crossed

03:11for January.

03:12We'll see.

03:12We'll take it all step by step.

03:14We've all stayed

03:15very connected.

03:16We have like Zoom hangouts

03:17and we'll have drinks

03:18on Sundays

03:18and that kind of thing

03:19which is really nice

03:20and, yeah,

03:22hopefully timing works

03:24itself out

03:25where, you know,

03:26when Broadway reopens

03:27I can be back

03:28on that stage

03:29wearing that polo

03:30and waving through

03:30windows again.

03:31Yeah,

03:31really crazy timing

03:32that we were both on it

03:34at the same time

03:35and had to experience

03:36the shutdown together.

03:38I mean,

03:38I learned so much

03:39in my two months

03:40of rehearsal

03:41leading up to

03:42the first few shows

03:43that I was so lucky

03:44to do

03:44that, yeah,

03:45hopefully when it returns

03:46I can play Katie Herron again

03:47because she's a fun one.
