bits & pieces

I like puns, two-for-ones, and good, clean fun...s.

This woman. I can’t explain how excellent of.. a person in general she is. So grateful to have met Ellen a few months after moving to LA. ALWAYS with a smile on her face and willing to help anyone out- I can understand why she is a role model to so many. Check out her new video featuring a bunch of sexy ladies all shot and edited by the insanely talented Andrew Rose!

I had the amazing opportunity to go to Hawaii with some of the most wonderfully talented and freaking genuine people. During one of the days towards the end, I went on a solo morning bike ride and just celebrated everyone, everything, and being in such a beautiful place. I love you Hawaii! Hope to revisit very soon :)

NOTE: Watch in 720 because it looks like spilled silly putty otherwise! (Lookin’ out for you here)

BATOONCHITIME UPDATE:

Just came back from my week-long vacation to Hawaii for the first mL tour stop. On top of this place being down-right amazing, I saw people eating this one particular dish on a daily basis. It’s called Loco-Moco! Hope you enjoy :) Subscribezies!

I stumbled into the presence of this man a few weeks-to-a-month ago as I was helping a mutual friend out with a video. Boy, was I in for a treat. Not only is he energetic, professional, and loves Ke$ha- he’s also ridiculously talented! If you know me behind a camera, I’m stiff as a board, but he was able to capture some great shots. It’s so important to be comfortable with a photographer and I will be the first in line to say that Gabriel is AMAZING to work with. Check out all of his other work- your eyes are in for a treat!

Thank you for these! Always think these are so cool haha

A lot of times it feels that I’m lost in the path that I chose as a career, to the point where I don’t know if I should continue. This piece is about undergoing different routes and accepting the challenges thrown at you- because they all work together to make you better as an individual. Not everything is a contest, and you should never compare yourself to others; All of our paths are customized. Thank you to these girls for believing in me, along with some really good people I’ve got to meet this past year, and back home. I hope you enjoy, thanks for taking the time to click the play button. :)

Really happy I got to work with some friends for the first time in Moon’s newest video “WISH” by Tyga. Such a fun time, this is only one of many new awesome piece’s from this guy you don’t want to miss out! Make sure you subscribe to him! www.youtube.com/marvelousmoon

I know I said that I’d upload videos every two weeks, but I just couldn’t help myself. From a few comments asking about a hair tutorial, I thought I’d grant your wish- Batoonchitime Style. Hope you enjoy & Subscribe for more dance/random videos!

CONFIRMATION vs. CONFORMATION

Something that’s been eating away at my mind and emotions, is wondering whether or not I’m doing the right things for where I want to be. I’m not even sure exactly what I’m trying to do in life to be completely honest. But I feel like there are a few other areas/hobbies that I want to get into besides dancing. Dancing is all I know of right now, and I try to verify my thoughts that this is what I’m meant to do- seeing as how I moved across country to pursue it as a career. With all of the industry dancers surrounding me living, breathing, being dance- it’s easy to force myself to believe that I should be doing the same. The only problem here is that I don’t feel the same away about dancing as a career. I hate the competition of it, I hate the politics and superficiality of it. I find myself enjoying dance more when I’m doing it for fun, and not to pay the bills or rack up lines on my resume. In a very vulnerable state of losing sight of what I THOUGHT I wanted, I’m beginning to see another hobby taking over. I guess what I’m trying to say is follow your gut on what you believe in- regardless of what everyone around you is doing. Just because you went in with a certain mindset- doesn’t mean that a change is for the worst. Some paths turn into something you’d never even imagine, and that isn’t a bad thing. I’m going to embrace it while trying to figure out this crazy journey called life. Feel free to join me.

A few shots from Lauren Froderman’s 21st birthday party. Featuring some of the funniest fools I’ve gotten to know since moving to LA: Aris, Ryan, Greg, & Andrew. Shout out to SnapIt Studios for these, make sure to check them out!
