🎬 Behind the Beat: My Casting and First Episode of The New Dance Show 2.0

When Detroit calls, the dancers answer — and this season, I answered loud and clear.

The New Dance Show 2.0 brought back that electric pulse our city is known for — music, movement, and the magic of legacy. The moment I stepped into the audition room, surrounded by dancers in every shade of passion and rhythm, I could feel the spirit of the original show alive in the walls. Cameras rolled, lights glowed, and the air felt thick with purpose.

That first episode? Unforgettable.

Between takes, laughter filled the set. In one corner, women touched up their gloss and adjusted their heels. In another, the guys stretched, hyping each other up before stepping into the spotlight. The energy was pure Detroit — authentic, confident, and unstoppable.

From the mirror selfies to the final group scene, every moment felt like stepping into history — not just recreating the old, but rewriting the new. The New Dance Show 2.0 isn’t just a reboot. It’s a rebirth.

And this time, I’m not just dancing for the cameras.

I’m dancing for the girls who grew up watching from the couch, for the creatives who never stopped believing in Detroit’s shine, and for the next generation of performers learning that faith and focus are the real choreography.
