The secret is out… I choreographed the world’s first underwater dance with wild sharks. 🦈🩰 🌊 
⠀
Swipe to see how Dancing with the Sharks on discovery came to life — from land rehearsals to deep water movement with tiger, hammerhead, and lemon sharks in the Bahamas 🇧🇸 
⠀
For the first time ever, Discovery Channel launched a fully choreographed underwater performance with real, wild sharks — and I was honored to be the choreographer behind it all.
⠀
It was also my privilege to work alongside the legendary tombergeron , who hosted Dancing with the Sharks and is known for so many iconic TV shows. He’s an amazing person — warm, supportive, and so fun to work with.
⠀
Now that it’s finally aired for Shark Week sharkweek , I can share:
⠀
🩰 I trained five professional shark feeders and divers to perform underwater — not just swim, but dance.

🌊 We practiced and performed in Bimini, Bahamas, surrounded by tiger sharks, hammerheads, and lemon sharks — no cages, no tricks, just open water.
⠀
📺 The show is called Dancing with the Sharks — and now streaming on Discovery Channel.
⠀
It was a once-in-a-lifetime challenge to turn expert divers into underwater performers — moving with precision, rhythm, and grace in the middle of the ocean.
⠀
See the full transformation — land to sea — in the next slides ➡️
