Alyson Stoner stole the show at last year’s MTV VMAs when she danced on stage during Missy Elliott’s Video Vanguard performance, 17 years after appearing in the rapper’s iconic “Work It” music video. Now at 27 years old, Alyson has continued to slay the dance floor, showing off her slick moves for other artists, including Will Smith (she was a backup dancer for him at the 2005 Kids’ Choice Awards) and Eminem (remember when she popped up in his “Just Lose It” video?).
It’s easy to see why so many big names have recruited Alyson for their projects over the years; she’s transformed from that cute pigtailed girl in Missy’s videos into a hip-hop dance instructor who teaches kids that are the same age as she was when she first gained prominence in 2002. In honor of Alyson’s flawless ability to put her thing down, flip it, and reverse it, we’re looking back at her most impressive dance videos, because this girl can truly work it like no other.
