Meet the Dancer Behind Katy Perry's GRAMMY Shadow
Last Sunday night at the 2015 GRAMMYs, Katy Perry toned her usual flashiness down to deliver a message. Hot off the Super Bowl halftime show, Perry performed a minimalist version of "By the Grace of God" with introductions from President Barack Obama and domestic abuse survivor Brooke Axtell.
What most viewers probably didn't realize was that the shadowy figures during the performance were created by just one dancer, Andrea Dobbs. The graceful artist sat still for a few minutes to chat with Fuse about working with the Super Bowl performer and having her identity hidden during such a huge show.
Dobbs has been dancing almost 20 years, teaches ballet to teenagers, and is signed with a commercial agent in Los Angeles. Not many commercial dancers would be okay with having their face and body completely covered, but Dobbs sees the opportunity very differently. –Maritza Navarro
