A Bermudian can be seen in Monster High 2, a Nickelodeon musical-fantasy film that follows Monster High: The Movie.

Jarrett Carlington performed with more than a dozen other dancers during the film’s opening song, My Heart Goes Boom Boom Boom.

Mr Carlington, who has worked as a dancer in Vancouver, Canada, for ten years, spent almost four weeks rehearsing the number, which was filmed in two days.

He said: “Because I have been in the dance community for so long here, many of us already knew each other, so rehearsals were like a mini-reunion for old friends.

“It was so great working with them again.”

Released in October, Monster High 2 centres on four teenage monsters during their sophomore year of high school.

The film was choreographed by Heather Laura Gray, whose work in the first in the franchise earned her a Children’s and Family Emmy Award last month.

Mr Carlington said that Ms Gray was “very inspiring to work with, a staple of the dance community in Vancouver, and the experience she has is through the roof.

“With her, there is rarely a moment when you are not doing anything. You are there to work and to create something fantastic.”

Mr Carlington was also featured in two dance routines from the television series Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, for which the choreographer won an Emmy.

He can also be seen in Zoey’s Extraordinary Christmas and Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies.

Mr Carlington had no formal dance training before moving to Canada in 2013. The Berkeley Institute graduate first learned how to dance by watching YouTube videos while living in Bermuda.

He said: “I began taking some science courses at Capilano University when I realised dance was my passion.

“Dance gives me a sense of freedom. Everything that I can’t put into words I put into my body.

“It allows me to transfer that energy into emotion and is also a great way to break a sweat.”

Mr Carlington, who also teaches dance, encouraged aspiring Bermudian performers to “get as much training as possible”.

He added: “As long as you do your craft and are amazingly good at it, they cannot tell you ‘no’.”
