Shiloh Nelson Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Lidya Jewett is giving us a behind-the-scenes look at her new movie Feel The Beat!

The 13-year-old actress stars as Kari in the new Netflix dance movie.

“I love that she goes after what she wants even if she is nervous. I love that she stands up for herself. I love that she loves to dance in the rain. I love that she loves her friends. I think you will love her too,” she said on Instagram about her character.

Lidya also opened up about how excited she is for others to see so much representation in this production.

“I think it is important, and definitely in times like these, for everyone to see themselves represented on screen…especially the kids,” Lidya told JJJ. “Kids everywhere will see themselves here. Different races, different family types, different body types, differently-abled. They are all here because we are all here.”

Among her co-stars in the BTS photos include Sofia Carson, Wolfgang Novogratz, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Shiloh Nelson, Eva Hague, Sadie Lapidus, and director Elissa Down.

Feel The Beat follows April (Carson) as her Broadway dreams are dashed and she moves back home to a small town in Wisconsin where she takes on a misfit group of young dancers.

Be sure to check out the movie on Netflix now!!

Shiloh Nelson is one of the young stars in the new Netflix film Feel The Beat!

The young actress plays Ruby, a shy, hardworking girl who becomes the stage manager in the flick, which is now streaming.

Shiloh opened up about the film with JJJ, including all the dancing, working with Sofia Carson and more.

“I was a big fan of Sofia‘s before filming as I had watched her in all of the Descendants films and her A Cinderella Story movie,” Shiloh dished. “Once I met her she was so kind, I was completely blown away. She taught me so much and we had so much fun on set. There was one scene where we were separated by the camera and we broke out singing her song ‘Space Between‘ that she sings with Dove Cameron in the Descendants 2 film, which was SO amazing. It’s such a fond memory for me as I loved that song from the film beforehand.”

“She taught me to always bring my mom to set even when I don’t have to. You always need your mom, even when you’re older,” she added about advice she got from Sofia.

Shiloh also dished on all the dancing in the movie and how she didn’t have any dance experience beforehand.

“The rehearsal process was crazy! We had a whole month of dance training before filming. I had never done anything like that. The first ASL I learned from my co-star Shaylee [Mansfield] was the signs for ‘hot’ and ‘tired,’” she said.

“I was the only girl without dance experience going into it so that was intimidating for me,” Shiloh continued. “But by the end of the training, I was too good at dancing for my character and the producer had Mia Michaels choreograph mistakes back in for me which made me so happy. It’s the first time I’ve ever had to physically do something like that, and it was the most amazing experience.”

“[I'm most excited for] the dancing! I hope everyone hops off the couch and dances,” she added.

We are exactly ONE WEEK away from Sofia Carson‘s brand new movie Feel The Beat!

The trailer for the movie was just released, where the 27-year-old actress and singer plays the talented, self-centered dancer April, who is banished from Broadway, and grudgingly moves back in with her dad (Enrico Colantoni) in her small Wisconsin hometown.

Trying her best to avoid everyone in her tight-knit community, including her first love Nick (Wolfgang Novogratz), April is reluctantly recruited by her former dance teacher (Donna Lynne Champlin) to coach the town’s misfit group of young dancers.

Initially believing she’s found the path back to Broadway, April gains so much more. A love letter to small towns, Feel The Beat is a heartwarming comedy about chasing your dreams.

Feel The Beat, premiering June 19th on Netflix, also stars Rex Lee, Brandon Kyle Goodman, Lidya Jewett, Sadie Lapidus, Johanna Colón, Shaylee Mansfield, Shiloh Nelson, Justin Allan, Carina Battrick, Kai Zen, introducing Eva Hauge with Marissa Jaret Winokur.
