Tonight I'm going to throw my past away. Tonight I'm going to live my life today.

It makes me want to say Cat, we have crashed the dance studio.

You crashed my dance studio. And this is ridiculously hot. Watching you guys dance. Aw. Thank you. I'm away from home for me. How's it for you?

Uh, the same. So I'm here for, I don't know, a small amount of time but what are your hours like in this space?

Yeah. Um uh sometimes we play like different mixes of of the of the show. We're working power, my new single. Go get it on iTunes now. It's uh it's in it's in the new show set now, so we're figuring out how that works with the other songs and and what to do what and the theme and depending on how long the set is, so we just kind of break everything down.

Are you here for like 12 hours a day?

No, I mean, I We're all dancers, so we all pick up choreography literally in seconds. So we're usually here our rehearsals are usually just three to four hours.

Now let's talk about the new single that you're dancing to all this afternoon.

Sure. Yeah, Power. Um Power is my new single. We just released it um on iTunes this past week on on Tuesday, which is really exciting and everyone wanted to really think about this because I'm known as a dancer, I'm known as somebody who does that. And we were going with a song that doesn't require that, it's more so kind of stand at the microphone and just sing.

So the video is absolutely stunning by the way. And it is so simple and vulnerable. No choreography whatsoever.

Thank you. Yeah. You fill me up I've got that I wanted everything around this song Um even the lyric video to be like Uber Uber high quality. I didn't want to just do like a normal lyric video. I wanted it to I want people to talk about it. I wanted people to um I wanted to give them something until the music video came out and um we have much more content, but it's on hold right now, so we'll see

Is that your fiance?

That's my fiance. Yes.

That's your fiance in the video?

Yeah, that's the only person I can just She's got the ring. Be that comfortable with just on the spot and just hurry up and do it and and he he's such a consummate professional and and he's a trained actor. So I'm like perfect.

I love how you're wearing it for rehearsal. What about on stage?

Oh, I never take it off except for Vampire Diaries, then I take it off. That's it. That's it.

So you wear it on stage when you perform?

Yes, I wear it in the bathtub.

So since there's no real choreography in Power, what are you gonna show me today?

Um I think we're going to show you Actually, let's see. Do you know? Yeah. What? 1991. What's the one you're what's this to what's We're actually going to show you something that people don't know because there's already a tutorial of that on YouTube, but we're actually going to show you something that you haven't. Yeah, no, you haven't learned it yet. He already knows graffiti. It's okay. Oh my God. Okay, full disclosure. She taught me part of Graffiti. But that's where the that's where you to go home and and and show your man. Like but this this this 1991 is much fun, much more fun and it's just it's it's really fun.

Okay, for the record, we're going to do graffiti once just because I know it. That's fine. Wow, you caught me off guard here. This wasn't rehearsed. No. You're so good though. Come on. Come on, champ. Come on. You got this. We got it. Let's do it. Okay. 5, 6, 7, 8. So you're skipping the half beat.

Yes. Exactly. Exactly.

I'm not doing this as cool as you.

You want to just keep your arms right here and just basically keep it low. Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop. I got your boys the best of the best. Dance team here. Yeah, well, hello, my name is Oscar. This is Mark for Cats Call Iago first and we're teaching our girl here some dancing. It's an old school stuff, 1991.

Who? Who? Who are the side you? 1991. Okay. Okay. Let's try it again. Yeah. Turn it up. Turn it up. Okay. Cat, we're sitting because that was the craziest workout ever, but thank you so much for taking me under your wing and dancing with me.

Oh, well, you know, you're the first person I've ever done it with, so it's like also the first one that actually could, so that's probably why.

Okay. So we have been following your career since the very beginning with Vampire Diaries. And you were on our couch not too long ago and I wanted to play you a clip. Bring you down memory lane. All right. I never seen a limit on her. And then you say you're a little left of center. So how would you actually describe the whole Cat Graham package?

I'm still figuring myself out, but I would say that I'm I would say that I'm a performer. You know, I'd say that I'm uh somebody who enjoys the art of something. Um an intense artist. That's true.

So we've seen the evolution of your career and in this clip you say you're still trying to figure out Cat Graham. I think that's a good thing. Would your answer change now?

I know who I am, but I'm still constantly experimenting and trying to figure out what I like and and what I could use that best helps me express myself. You know, and I don't think that'll ever change. Um I think my fans also help me because they're so grounded and they're so kind and so sweet.

So you've been on a set for a long time with the same cast mates. How have you guys evolved as a cast?

You know, we've um we've all grown a lot as adults, you know, I think when we first started, we were all kind of babies and um now we're kind of everyone's getting I don't know everyone's growing in different ways and people are finding things that they're passionate about. Ems constantly growing with his charity work and and uh everyone's growing as actors and it's it's really cool. So once the show's over, I'm going to have a little bit more time to get on the road and you know, do some more music and some more dancing.

I'll be there. You'll be there. She's going to be my bag of cancer. And you're smile, you're glowing, it's it's all

It's the sweat. It's that I've been working for It's it's I actually stink and there's nothing fabulous about me right now, but thank you so much. I just had a moment with you.
