I wanted to be sure that even a child with no sense of rhythm could dance The Macarena."[2][3] She appears in and choreographed the dance routine for the Wes Madiko music video for his song "Alane". She was the main choreographer for a comeback show by French pop singer Sheila in 1998, at the Olympia, Paris.
