Washington, July 06 (ANI): Katie Holmes’ choreographer for her special performance on the 100th episode of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ says that the actress is a brilliant dancer.
“She’s really blossoming into a gorgeous triple-threat star, so, I’m excited. I saw clips of it and it’s brilliant,” People magazine quoted choreographer Mia Michaels as saying.
The actress’ feat on Fox’s hit show will help fund nonprofit organization, The Dizzy Feet Foundation, which provides scholarships and other assistance to young dancers
She is also the founding member of the organization.
Nigel Lythgoe, another co-founder and executive producer of the dance show, revealed that since the actress was a fan and often came to the sets of the show with daughter Suri she was an obvious choice to start the charitable group with.
He said: “I called Tyce up(the show’s other choreographer ) and I said, ‘How would Katie feel about doing something on the show that would bring notoriety to a foundation?’
“And he spoke to her, we then got together and Tyce, I and Katie met and discussed the whole thing, and I realized that she was so passionate about the project and I invited her to be a founding member of the whole foundation!”
The charity group also includes other celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Paula Abdul and Miley Cyrus in the committee. (ANI)
