New Zealand dancer Jasmine Jones has signed with BLOC Talent Agency, setting the stage for her next phase of career development in Los Angeles. Jones, who began her dance journey in Auckland at the tender age of 10, has since built a diverse portfolio of performances and roles that have taken her from the stage to the screen and beyond.
Jones was selected at age 10 to train with choreographer Parris Goebel's Royal Family Dance Crew, an experience that laid the foundation for her professional dance career. Over the next eight years, she honed her skills and was selected for leading roles in productions such as The Voice of Youth at the Dubai World Expo and The Royal Family Virtual Shows. These roles led to live performances in Europe and Australia, further cementing her reputation as a versatile and talented dancer.
After leaving The Royal Family, Jones continued to pursue professional dance opportunities. She auditioned alongside hundreds of dancers and secured a role as a core vampire dancer in two films in the Disney+ Zombies franchise. Her performance work has also included an appearance at Johor Stadium in Malaysia, where she performed before 40,000 people, and a performance alongside singer Chaii at the NZ Music Awards. More recently, she travelled to South Korea to appear in a music video for a K-pop artist, adding another international engagement to her career.
Jones is now preparing to relocate to Los Angeles, where she aims to immerse herself in the city's vibrant dance community.
Her signing with BLOC and planned collaboration with Draico are the immediate focus of this next phase. Jones hopes her experience will encourage young dancers in New Zealand to consider international pathways in the performing arts. The agreement establishes Jones' representation with BLOC as she develops opportunities within Los Angeles' dance and live entertainment community. Her upcoming work with Draico is expected to include live performance engagements.
