I'm in New York today! I'm modeling again for Dance Spirit Magazine. They have a new line of dance wear coming out, and I'm super excited because they let me keep one of each set!

Then tomorrow I fly out to LA, not to film for Bunk'd, but to film another music video for Ariana Grande. She recently recorded a song with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj, called "Bang Bang"

Sarah, who's choreographed the last two music videos that I did, sent me the choreography for this video a couple weeks ago. I've been learning it in my privates and in my own basement studio.

So on Wednesday, I'm gonna go over the choreography with Sarah, and on Thursday and Friday we're gonna film the music video. Then on Saturday, I'm doing a little meet and greet with Ariana, Nicki and Jessie

Wednesday

"You ready to go, babe?" My mom asks me and I nod and follow her to the car we rented for the next few weeks

We drive to the studio where I'm gonna meet with Sarah to rehearse with her.

"We're here" My mom tells me and I look up from my phone. "Who were you texting?"

"Mads, she was just telling me how's it going. And I told her that I was going to rehearse for the new video" I explain and she nods

We then walk into the studio where we see Sarah

"Hi!" She smiles when she sees us and she hugs my mom and I

"So, Aria, you can go to the side and watch or you can do whatever you need. And, Ale, we can start, okay?" Sarah explains. My mom takes a seat in the corner to watch

"So, did you learn the dance I sent you?" She asks me

"Yeah. I rehearsed it during a couple of my privates and in my basement" I tell her

"Great, so this shouldn't be too hard then. I did change I couple of the things. But let's listen to the song first, because obviously the dance I sent you didn't have the song yet" Sarah says

She then goes on her phone to play "Bang, Bang"

"Sounds good?" She asks and I nod

We then begin the choreography. Sarah made a few changes to the dance but it didn't take too long for me to pick up on them. I think the hardest part was matching my movements to the beat of the song.

The dance is like an acrobatic jazzy hip-hop dance. Who's fun, and I can't wait

Once the music ends I hear clapping coming from the doorway so I look over

"Ari!" I cheer and run over and hug her

"Hi, Ale" she smiles and hugs back. "I came here to watch you, and I think that was amazing"

"Thank you" I smile again, while taking a sip of water

"You ready to do it a few more times?" Sarah's asks and I nod and go over to her

Friday

Yesterday and today I've been doing the music video. I think this might be my favorite music video I've done so far!

"That looks great. Definitely think we're all set" Brandon, one of the producers says, after I finish dancing with Ariana, Jessie and Nicki

"I'll see you guys tomorrow, bye" Jessie smiles and hugs us before she leaves

I stay behind to talk for a few minutes before my mom and I leave too

Saturday

Today's the day of the meet and greet. I'm super excited to do this. It's supposed to be extra publicity for the new music video

Today, I'm wearing black lululemon leggings, and a semi cropped ALDC blue shirt. I also had my white sneakers on and my hairs in two headband braids going behind the rest of my hair.

Basically, we were gonna have tables set up so we could sign posters, cd's, shirts, anything and we would also take pictures.

We did that for about 3 hours before we all had to go.

Once my mom and I got back to our hotel, I decided to call Abby to see how the competition went since I knew it was over

The call

"Hi, this is Ale"
Hello, babe, how's LA?
"It was good. We filmed the music video yesterday and did a meet and greet today"
That's great, was it fun?
"Yeah, how was the competition?"
Well, JoJo won her solo, Mackenzie got second. Then of course we got second in our group and Candy Apples won. I wish you and Maddie could've been here
"Same"
Anyway, I know you're having fun and I'll see you in a couple days
"Okay, bye"
Bye hun

End of call

"So it didn't go to well then?" My mom asks

"I mean JoJo won, but they lost to the candy apples" I say and she sighs

***

Short chapter, but she did another music video! I love this song so much too, so I enjoyed this
