Stamped from the Beginning premieres today on @netflix around the world. This morning, I watched the documentary for this first time with my parents, my brother, my partner, and our daughters. What a surreal experience, watching them view and interact with the film. 1/3

@Bizar_Gomez Jungle truly always has the best choreography in all of their videos! I love how much of dance has been a part of their expression as a musical group.

It’s really true the further you get into your career, the easy it is to forget the things that you’ve done before. So important to document your journey, if only as a reminder to yourself and all the amazing things you’ve learned & accomplished.
