“Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.”
– Danny Kaye

Born in Vancouver, BC., Addy’s passion for music and movement started at a young age through her ballet, jazz, hip hop and contemporary training. She’s continued to dance her way through life as a choreographer and performer both in front of the camera and behind the lens. She can be seen
in feature films Kickin it Old School, Caprica, Disney hit Frenemies and also as the body double of Elenor in Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon. She has also worked extensively in TV as a featured dancer in shows such as CBC’s The Rick Mercer Report and How do you solve a problem like Maria? CTV’s LA Complex and The Listener, YTV’s The Next Star and The Family Channel’s Baxter.

THUNDERHEIST (Canada) and most recently wrapped a Canadian tour dancing for Tyler Medeiros and multi-platinum selling hip hop artist Flo Rida. Addy’s love for performance is only matched by her love to create! She’s had the pleasure of seeing her visions come to life through choreographing
music videos such as THUNDERHEIST’s “Nothing to Step to”, Kardinal Offishall’s “Famous” and TRISH’s soon to be released ninja inspired “Hi Yah”. She’s choreographed numerous industrials for companies such as The Children’s Aid Foundation, Just For Laughs, Holt Renfrew and theater shows
