Monique has been in my very small circle of friends over the last 15 years. The fact that it was us, and we do have already this relationship and history and chemistry, we really are close. But at the same time, the less resistance you can get the better. You want to put in your best work, and you want to bring a lot to the table. (Lifetime/Everett Collection)Īfter working a handful of years before, what was it like for both of you to work and dance together and reignite that effortless chemistry that you guys have always had?Ĭorbin Bleu: Effortless is the word. Monique Coleman and Corbin Bleu as Lucy and Barrett. He said he just saw the dynamic between us and the friendship and that was the spark for the idea of: what about them together? It was something that I don’t think any of us really could have understood how truly magical it was going to be, but apparently, the idea was there pretty early on. Monique Coleman: Brian, our director, he had mentioned at one point to me that it was during the Disney Family Sing-Along, which I believe happened in April of last year during COVID and they were in development.

Although I was attached first, and I did not know that they had the two of us in mind. Was this film a coincidence or were you both approached for the movie because of your history together? How did that all come about?Ĭorbin Bleu: I think that they did have the both of us in mind. Once that sort of passion was reignited, we were like, whoa, this is very natural. It’s very similar in this instance where it’s been 13 years since we got to dance together and do a film. It’s a little different, but they hadn’t been together since they were teenagers, like 15 years or something. This has just been such a wonderful moment, and in many ways, it does kind of mirror the film in the sense where Lucy and Barrett hadn’t seen each other. There was never that kind of impetus to just take that step or take that leap. Monique Coleman: We definitely over the years thought it would be fun. I think it really was a little bit lost by me just how wonderful of a partner she and now we want to do a lot more together. I know Monique and her work ethic, and I know what she’s capable of, but I knew it was going to be an amazing experience. But coming back to work together in this capacity was a bit of an eye-opener as to how well we do work together. I feel like it is a little bit serendipitous that it has been this long because we maintained our friendship this entire process. ![]() Search Hollywood Life Search Trending Navigation TrendingĬorbin Bleu and Monique Coleman in ‘A Christmas Dance Reunion.’ (Lifetime)įirst and foremost, why did it take you guys so long to work together again like this?Ĭorbin Bleu: I’ve got to be honest.
