Who decides to help you, you should always thankful for the fact that they have decided to take their time and help you. My family, my teachers and my friends they have pushed from the very beginning and I'm very thankful for that.

You have to make sure you understand how to expand and to live outside the box. This video wasn't focusing on the dancing and I wanted to focus more on the storytelling. It's about living within your past and never thinking about your future and the present. I think it is very important that you start using your past as an advantage and setting your future into something bigger. I took one of my biggest fears and I freestyled the entire video, because I want to show my expansion and growth and what I learned from my past and using that for my present and my future. I also took a very long time to write the song with one of my most amazing producers I know and really want send out a message of breaking down the walls represent your thoughts of holding your past and making sure you just go for it. It is such an honor being able to represent my growth to choreography and concepts and videos for you guys, especially being dance with people I love.

2019.04.11 | Broken Ballerina |
Director, editor and producer: |
Starring Duet Plot: Kaycee made a model of her dancing in the wood in school. But the bone figure of her got broken by a rude guy. Sean appeared behind her back and ask her for room 224. Frustrated she tells him to ask the office without watching him. She gets into class at room 224. Topic was Victorian architecture, but Kaycee felt instantly asleep, dreamed her dancing in a Victorian mansion as mechanical ballerina, found a key to unlock a door to a wood where Sean is waiting. They danced in the wood and finally Kaycee waked up, because the guy she sent to the office entered class, the guy she just dreamed of, and Kaycee got big eyes. |
Other dancer: Kaycee Rice Premier is in two parts on Dance Network. First part is for free, the second needs subscription for $6.99/mo. DN offers also a 30 min BTS video and interviews. One has to admit the production effort justifies some rate.[33] |
