Rithy feels that her passion for dance is innate as all Brazilians love music and dance! When she started, Rithy was the youngest member of dance group Culture Shock and they have since taken part in competitions all over the world.
Rithy is Assistant Director at The American School of Dance, teaching a group called ID8 and she also manages a group called Legacy. Most recently Rithy has been working on the Natalia meets Anastasia tour as a dancer.
At Choreography Camp, Rithy was well aware of the fact that she couldn't dance properly in heels and hopes she has practiced enough in preparation for the show. Rithy says "I am excited about being the only female hip hop dancer and I am in the show to win it."
Rithy describes herself as a chameleon as she adapts depending on who she is with and has "an annoying trait" where she starts to act like that person.
