Rotoscope dance animator

TikTok • Self-employed

May 2021 - Present • 5 yrs

I work as a rotoscope dance animator, creating hand-drawn dance animations for classical and contemporary dancers on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. This journey started as a personal experiment where I created a dance animation using only my index finger—no stylus. I posted my first rotoscope animation on May 21, 2021 and it organically crossed 50K+ views. Soon after, dancers and creators from around the world reached out for custom animations, turning my hobby into a paid freelance service. I manually outline every movement, draw each frame, color-fill and ensure smooth motion flow. Using only my index finger adds a unique, organic and personal touch to every animation. I was also invited by an Atlanta-based school to conduct a workshop on rotoscope animation, where I taught students how to bring movement to life through frame-by-frame animation. My work helps dancers elevate their performances, stand out on social media and turn dance into engaging animated stories.
