Cris Judd Brings Moves to Murrieta

Dancer, choreographer and actor Cris Judd brought his moves to Murrieta Saturday.

Judd choreographed a dance for the 5 LPs, an all-girl singing and dancing act, and was with the crew for the filming of 5 LPs' track "Princess Crown" for a Nickelodeon commercial.

According to Judd, they'd spent the two days prior rehearsing in L.A., where Judd lives.

"I have been working with a couple of these girls since they were 4 years old," said Judd, who danced with Michael Jackson and later his sister, Janet Jackson.

"They work hard," he said about the girls, who had no trouble busting out pirouettes while doing take after take on the set.

Judd now tours with The PULSE alongside several other big names in choreography, such as Tyce Diorio, whose work has been featured on "So You Think You Can Dance." The group holds youth dance instruction workshops in cities in the U.S. and Canada.

Working with Judd on the choreography for 5 LPs was Kenya Clay, of The Pussycat Dolls and "So You Think You Can Dance."

The youngest of the bunch Judd choreographed on Saturday was 9 years old, while several hundred other youngsters waited outside of in Murrieta for their chance to be filmed as dancers or as part of the audience.

Lori Ruffalo of Los Angeles brought her two daughters, Tiarra, 10, and Adreanna, 8, to the casting call. Both have been in commercials, TV shows and movies, she said.

Tiarra and Adreanna both appear in a scene in "The Muppets," out now in theaters, she said.

"Tiarra was in her first movie when she was 4," Ruffalo said. "They love it."

The casting call for Saturday's shoot was managed by Z & E Creative Productions, based in Temecula.
