Sofia Carson is putting on their dancing shoes to Netflix in the last movie Feel the Beat. The film, which hit the streaming service June 19, follows a talented dancer named April (Carson), with big dreams of starring on Broadway. However, after a disastrous audition, she winds up going back home to Wisconsin and the teaching of young children at her old dance studio. As they compete in several competitions together, we can get multiple flashes of April’s incredible dance skills. While Carson is no stranger to dance — she is well known for starring as Evie in the Disney Channel musical of the franchise Descendents — she had a little bit of help for some of the most intricate numbers in Feel the Beat.
After the release of the movie, dancer Jessy Lipke confirmed that she was Carson’s dance double (she is also recognized as an “outstanding dancer” in the credits). “I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to work among such incredible talent,” the 18-year-old captioned a series of photos of her and Carson on the adequacy of the equipment. “A big thank you to @miamichaels by the amazing choreography. My heart is so full of love and emotion right now. I hope that you all have much more fun seeing this movie made me be part of it.” Honestly, the resemblance amazing!
In addition to its role in the Feel the Beat, Lipke, has appeared in a handful of dance performances, including The Next Step and Backstage. She was the founder of Power Girl Fitness when I was 10 years old, in an effort to help girls who struggle with self-image and has numerous videos on healthy eating and exercise his YouTube channel.
