JADE CHYNOWETH
…but you can call her: JaDeBug
Age: 15
Hometown: Park City, UT
Where she trains: Pioneer High School for the Performing Arts
Street cred: Jade was an Elite Protégé at The PULSE On Tour during its 2010–11 season and performed in L.A. as a member of E-Kidz, a youth hip-hop group run by Dave Scott. She was a featured dancer in Mindless Behavior’s “My Girl (Remix)” and “Girls Talkin Bout” music videos, and performed at the 2011 and 2012 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. She danced at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in the Britney Spears tribute piece (“I stood next to Beyoncé while waiting backstage—too cool!” she says), was a featured dancer in the 2012 Microsoft Surface commercial and was a cast member in the Monsters of Hip-Hop show Shadows this summer. Jade has appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and filmed a Toyota commercial that airs this year. Next, she’ll appear on the big screen as the young queen Artemisia in 300: Rise of an Empire.
Signature move: The backwards worm. “At least that’s what I call it,” Jade says.
Her freestyle song: “Black Skinhead” by Kanye West
Her go-to audition look: “If they’re looking for younger kids, I’ll wear bright colors, but if they want teens, I’ll wear something like black leather with bright accessories and a pair of colored Converse sneakers,” she says.
Why you need to know her: Don’t be fooled by her cute curls and face full of freckles: Jade’s a total tough-girl tomboy. Her dance style is quirky and experimental—think Mark Kanemura plus Tucker Barkley—and she can do every trick in the book. Jade won’t just do a cartwheel: She’ll do a cartwheel on her head over a chair. She’s also a battle master, having dominated at NUVO Dance Convention, the L.A. Hip Hop Dance Intensive, Bobby’s Beat Camp and Urban Dance Organization.
“Jade is one of the most outstanding dancers I’ve seen in a long time. Her maturity and versatility are rare, as is her respect for others at such a young age—it’s beautiful. She is definitely one to watch out for.” —Tyce Diorio
