By 2011, she was traveling to L.A. regularly to audition for dance gigs. She also scored a coveted spot as one of The PULSE on Tour’s 2010/2011 Elite Protégés, touring with top choreographers like Dave Scott, Mia Michaels, Cris Judd, Laurieann Gibson and Brian Friedman.

Her work with The PULSE spilled over into her professional life when she teamed up with a bunch of other talented young PULSE alums to form a crew called The Protégés to make it onto MTV’s “America’s Best Dance Crew.”, but they didn’t earn a spot on the main show. That moment was a turning point for Jade Bug. ~~“I got a taste of the industry,” she says, “and loved it.”~~ Moving forward, she was committed to a commercial career.

~~Will “WilldaBeast” Adams calls Jade Chynoweth “the Olympian of dance”—and it’s not hard to see why. She’s definitely~~ got the talent, with a chameleonlike ability to go from hard and athletic to heartfelt and lyrical. She’s put in the work, training for countless hours with the world’s best teachers and choreographers. And in addition to major competition titles, she’s earned jobs that are the dance equivalent of gold medals, performing at MTV’s Video Music Awards and in commercials for brands Nike, Microsoft; Fanta and Toyota. She’s the dance world’s very own all-around champion.

She has got more than a few tricks up her sleeve, with a repertoire that includes b-boy standards like suicides and head hollowbacks by being inspired by her two super-athletic brothers, she credits her mentor, Gev Manoukian, with helping her perfect her power moves. The two first met in 2008, when he visited Chynoweth’s studio to teach a master class right after finishing his run on “So You Think You Can Dance.” Impressed, Manoukian asked Chynoweth’s mom if he could coach the young dancer, and an awesome match was born: Not only did he start choreographing Chynoweth’s competition solos, but he also invited her to shadow him and his b-boy crew. Thanks to Chynoweth’s tumbling skills, the two were able to hit the ground running~~. “Since I’d studied acro and could do back handsprings and tucks, it was easier to work on tricks at a higher level, like windmills and headspins,” Chynoweth remembers~~.
