Dua Lipa Grammy’s Choreographer Charm La’Donna Unpacks Her Moves
Charm’s dances supercharged Super Bowl halftime and the Grammys. Now? She has her own music.
Charm La’Donna is the choreographer behind many of your favorite stars. From The Weeknd’s Super Bowl halftime show to Dua Lipa’s mesmerizing Grammy showcase, La’Donna creates the signature moves that keep an audience entertained while also giving life to potential TikTok routines. She is also a music artist.
La’Donna, originally from Los Angeles, started creating dances for her friends at age 14 or 15 and eventually attended an arts high school. Now after working with a who’s who of music, including Rosalia and Kendrick Lamar and planning Dua Lipa’s Grammy performance, she is prepped to release her own EP this summer. (Queen and West Side already released at the end of February.) The remainder of the EP looks to be strong and upbeat and has “a little West Coast vibe in there as well.”
ZORA talked with La’Donna about her music, her dance moves, and choreography during Covid-19. Here’s what she had to say.
ZORA: I’m still thinking about The Weeknd’s halftime show at the Super Bowl. You did all that? With the masks and the marching? Can you explain it to me?
