MEET CHERYL KOO

Cheryl Koo has strived to fuse her two passions in life, which leads her to where she is today. Her goal is to style the world through different avenues of art in hopes to bring together a community beyond JUST dance, JUST fashion, JUST art, JUST music.

In dance, Cheryl has been trained technically since she was young but discovered hip hop when she reached college. She was the director of USC's Chaotic3 for 4 years, founded SydeProjekt in 2005, danced for CSNY and 2XSNY for a year in 2006, danced on Breed OCLA since 2004 to the present, and is also currently dancing with Essence and Boxcutters. As a dancer, she has also been asked to style each of these teams at least once. Cheryl also helped with wardrobe of, as well as dancing in, the Mims video "Like This" in 2007, and danced for Snoop Dogg's clothing launch in MAGIC in February 2007 (Vegas).

This in turn leads to her other love. With a resume of working and interning at brands such as: Triple5Soul, L.A.M.B., Adidas Originals both in SOHO and MELROSE, she has gained the experience to start her very own company: THE OTHER DUCK. This brand new company is the answer to fusing Cheryl's two loves. With the love and support of the dance community, The Other Duck has been spreading into cities and countries all over the world, including: LA, SF, SD, OC, Vancouver, Montreal, Chicago, Norway, Taiwan, Japan, Germany and the list goes on! You might have also seen The Other Duck on: ABDC, SYTYCD (America and Scandinavia), and the Mims "Like This" video.

The point of The Other Duck is to get the message across that everyone is their own person and to be unafraid and proud of that. It is about evolving and realizing we don't have to conform to standards of beauty, because beauty, and ugly, is in the eye of the beholder.

I was on 909 for two years and expanded my horizon with Beat Jerkeez and Expressive Doubt. I finally have the courage and chance to really step out of my realm and teach people what I have to offer in art. I recently exposed myself to choreography and would love to share it with you and everyone.

When she graduated highschool she got accepted into the UCLA World Arts and Cultures dance program where she has studied many different dance styles over the last three years such as ballet, modern/postmodern, West African, belly dancing, flamenco, afro-caribbean, and most of all hip hop. Within hip hop Jessica has gotten to dabble in many different styles such as locking, poppin’, whacking, and house. She has been on teams ACA Hip Hop, NSU Modern, Team Millenia, and currently dances with Expressive Doubt dance company directed by CJ Edwards. She has choreographed for music artists, fellow dancers, musical theater groups, and dance groups. Jessica has taught for Steps Styles and Spotlights dance studio, collegiate teams NSU Modern and ACA Hip Hop, Team Millenia’s SI summer workshop, and currently teaches hip hop in a mobile after school program for elementary schools around the LA area. Jessica can never decide quite what dance style she wants to learn and therefore has become a big melting pot of dance styles across many genres, and so hopes to bring a variety of styles to whatever class she teaches.

Christian was signed to the Bloc Talent Agency at the age of 14 and throughout his career has trained under and worked with notable choreographers such as Rhapsody James, Marty Kudelka, Gil Duldulao, Chuck Maldonado, and Dave Scott… just to name a few. One of Christian’s proudest moments came at the age of 15 when he was selected by Rhapsody James to join her “Rhapsody the Company” dance company.

If you were to ask Christian about his love of dance, he would tell you without hesitation, “Dancing is like breathing to me!” You will likely catch Christian either on stage or on the floor at a Monster of Hip-Hop or The Pulse tour.

Watching Christian dance and choreograph, and witnessing his grooves and awesome stage presence, it is easy to see that dancing truly is like breathing to him.
