We apologize for the interruption of your programming but we have a very special story to share with you…It’s INTERVENTION time and what better way to kick off our magazine debut with the beautiful and empowering Jenna Dewan? Mother, actress, guide, and more, Jenna brings the light and fire everywhere she goes. As she put it, acting found her and what a journey it has been since! Also a dancer, moving her body to the flow of the music represents the idea of “embodiment,” and to any aspiring dancers reading this… make sure to try different teachers…the more you take in, the more resilient you become! We had such an amazing time on set of her Vulkan shoot which illustrated women empowerment and intervention. Keep reading on and get to know the real Jenna Dewan.

Share with us how your journey as an actress has evolved. What are some important lessons you learned?
To trust your own instincts, surrender most things, and don’t personalize ANYTHING.
What inspired you to pursue acting? What does it mean to you?
Acting found me! A manager saw me while dancing on the Grammys with *NSYNC and convinced me to go on one audition that ended up being my first movie. Acting satiates a part of my creativity I never knew existed as a dancer. I have always loved the challenge.
Who is a director who hope to work with and why?
Taika Waikiki. He is a creative genius and i truly love everything he makes. A musical with Baz Luhrman would be an absolute dream.
Growing up, what was your favorite TV series? Did it play a role in why you decided to pursue acting?
I actually never really watched tv! I was always on the go, spending hours after school at my dance studio, doing homework in the car and as i got home before bed.
Define dance in one word. What advice would you give to emerging dancers/actors?
Embodiment. My advice is to learn from as many different teachers as you can, keep up your ballet lessons, and become resilient!! There are a lot of no’s but there will always be a yes coming.
Tell us a story about a time something or someone intervened in your life and why it was so important.
Acting intervened in my life! I had no idea the path my life would take, and I truly feel in awe most days. It has taught me to really trust my life.
