"I started dancing when I was 3 or 4 years old, and started choreographing when I was 10. When I began to create moves to different songs, it felt so good, and I loved watching other people get to vibe out and feel good.
When I first moved to L.A. from Hawaii at age 16, my mom and I were struggling to pay our rent, even to pay for groceries. My directors at The Lab were like, "Don't worry. Your time's coming."
A couple of months later, I had a video that went viral (below) and my directors kept pushing for me to do so many things to build my portfolio. From there, I started traveling, and then teaching the kids at The Lab for "World of Dance" and going on to work with different music artists"
Sienna first got to work with BTS after she submitted choreography for their song 'Dionysus' - they loved it so much that they used it for their comeback special and also on their recent tour.
She said it was the first time a K Pop group had used her entire choreography as others she'd worked with had just used some of her choreography and incorporated it with others.
