This is the TV show.

Joining me today is the multi talented lady in Red.

Give it up for Jenna.

Dewan thought this is how you're feeling this morning.

Wake up.

Throwing the rollout, Put on a red gown and come yet.

No, this is his holidays.

Congrats on the Brandy Show soundtrack.

Thank you.

Talked about the use of music in this show.

And what makes this TV show so special Soundtrack is probably the most unique show I've ever been a part of.

It's a drama about intersecting love stories within Los Angeles, but what got me was there's musical numbers, so we'd be in a great dramatic scene and then all of a sudden, the lights go down and we do a musical performance in a way you haven't seen before.

You have to see it.

You know, what I'm talking about is a very unexpected way in which it happens.

Stand by crashing.

Josh Safran, who created it is amazing.

And I said to Josh, is that this is either gonna work or not work?

And I am on board.

I'm so excited about this on I love it.

I'm so proud of it Feeling hairs on the back of your neck.

Adrenaline rush.

You are Janet and the place Joanna.

Yes, Joanne.

This is struggling Dancer.

Yeah.

There was a great line very early on where she goes and says dancing is the only place where she feels like herself In the moment as how Joanna feels have this Jenna feel that very similar.

I wonder if Josh I should heard me say that that you plagiarized me.

Thanks, Josh.

Um and I do feel that way.

By the way, it's a show as a kid.

When you're going through a lot, I found dance to be something that was always there for me.

I could channel a grounded me I always felt like I went somewhere else when I performed I still feel that way And that feeling is really healing and was was really good for me growing up.

It's my superpower.

What I loved about soundtrack is especially for dryness.

Character is a pretty real take right.

Very early on.

We see that rejection after rejection after rejection, where it's almost like you're grabbing your bag before they've even said no.

When I met with Josh, he was so fascinating to buy my early days as a struggling dancer when I moved to L.

A and was auditioning nonstop, getting nothing.

There's such inherent struggle and any art form, but really a lot in the dance world, and you're looking for two spots in a music video.

When they're 1500 people, they're auditioning.

It's just that it's wild.

It makes no sense.

It's crazy to still do it, but you still do it because there's like for every 20 knows there's one.

Yes, and you're just waiting for that.

Yes, and so he really liked that and put that into the character.

There's a very funny scene about, you know, not the perfect jobs out there.

What's the worst room you've ever taken?

I was hired for a Jane's Addiction Party on Dancing wasn't so bad that we were in these like tiny squares that were Look up off the party and we you total hazard.

No, no mats, nothing.

We just had a dance for hours upon hours on this little box.

I remember being like This is a weird job.

I've talked notoriously about dancing at the Wal Mart parking lot of Kelly Clarkson's or bad until you bring out Kelly Clarkson's name.

And then it's all good.

American Idol was awesome, but it was just like we're in a Walmart dancing, trying Jackson video, right?

I did.

Yeah.

And her tour and I worked for two years.

Yeah, that was when everything changed.

But prior to that, I was doing any bit dance job I could get on.

Janet came around.

That really changed my career for the better.

This is everything that I've been working for Is that anything that you've learned as a dancer that helps you get into character is an actor.

Early on, I think I found my dance training was very helpful.

I wouldn't even know I was doing it.

But I would move differently for certain characters.

I did this movie called Tamura.

Oh, I saw it on your IMDb page.

Listen, I was very proud of this movie, and I still am.

I still have lots of Tamara fans that come with me.

Tamara was a mousey picked on unattractive girl in high school, played by you played by me.

There's a prank that goes wrong.

She dies and she comes back to life hot and revengeful.

okay by you played by me as well.

And I go out to get revenge on all the people.

Didn't you learn the last time?

You can't kill me.

I got the main role.

I couldn't believe that it happened.

And then I showed up on Saturday.

You know what Mark was?

I didn't know anything.

But what I found interesting and I learned on that role was because I played two different sides of the same character.

I was doing different body language and movements for each side.

That inherently just such a dancer thing to d'oh.

So I found that the movement element and being comfortable in my body, all of it played into acting.

How do you really care?

Why don't you just glad to see me?
