BTS at the Shyra Sanchez Music Video

 Lights flashing. Bass thumping. Bodies moving in perfect sync. On May 15, 2026, Shyra Sanchez transformed a Malibu escape into a full-blown club paradise for the official music video of her upcoming single “Dance With Me”, set for release on June 5

The multi-talented Billboard-charting artist, dancer, and fitness entrepreneur brought her signature high-voltage style to the set, channeling the song’s core message of escape, freedom, and pure movement. Following the massive success of her debut single “Operator” (which has surpassed 2.7 million video views and dominated independent airplay charts), “Dance With Me” dives even deeper into club and EDM territory while still retaining her signature Lo-Fi beats style.

Inside the Shoot: Energy, Sweat, and Pure Joy

From the moment cameras started rolling, the atmosphere was electric. Dancers filled the space with sharp, infectious choreography that perfectly matched the track’s pulsing beat. Shyra, glowing under the lights in a series of show-stopping looks—from custom designed sparkling outfits to sleek, movement-ready looks—commanded every frame with confidence and charisma

I was there to capture BTS raw, unfiltered moments: Shyra laughing between takes while catching her breath, dancers hyping each other up, and the director fine-tuning lighting setups to create that immersive, late-night club feel. The production leaned heavily into vibrant visuals—neon accents, dynamic camera work, and sequences designed to make viewers feel like they’re in an escape.

On set Shyra took me into the process for creating the song and what she wanted fans to get out of it saying, "It's all about wanting to get on the dance floor and we're all in a timeright now that we need some happiness. Dance is a universal language. When you dance your mind takes you to a place where it takes all your troubles away. I want the world to dance!"

In describing the message for this release Sanchez states: "There's something about dancing that shifts everything, it pulls you out of whatever stress, pressure, or noise you're carrying and drops you into a completely different space. When the music hits and your body starts moving, it's like the world fades out for a moment. The worries don't disappear forever, but they loosen their grip.”

“That feeling, that escape, is what inspired the song. It's about letting go, even if it's just for a few minutes, and allowing yourself to feel free. When you dance, you're not overthinking, you're not stuck in your head, you're just present and feeling the music and feeling the beat. You're in your body, in the rhythm, in the moment. 'Dance With Me' is really an invitation. It's saying: come step into this world with me, don't need love, lose control, leave everything behind, and just feel good. No pressure, no expectations, just movement, connection, and freedom."

The team behind the lens included top-tier collaborators, continuing the creative momentum from the “Operator” video (directed and choreographed by the legendary Travis Payne). Expect the same level of polish, empowerment, and visual spectacle that helped “Operator” rack up millions of views.

A Natural Extension of Shyra’s World

The “Dance With Me” video shoot perfectly reflects Shyra Sanchez’s multifaceted career. Raised in Northern California in a music-filled multicultural home, she began as a dancer before expanding into songwriting, producing, fitness entrepreneurship, and motivational speaking. Her work consistently champions self-expression, mental health awareness, and empowerment—especially for young women.

With nearly 180,000 Instagram followers, strong radio traction, and recent standout performances (including Shift Miami with Dave Audé and a sold-out Houston show), Shyra is riding a powerful wave. The new video is expected to drop shortly after the single’s June 5 release, just in time to fuel summer club nights, Pride celebrations, and her upcoming Dance With Me Tour.

Fans got a few exclusive sneak peeks via Shyra’s socials, building major anticipation. The energy on set was undeniable—sweat, smiles, and that unstoppable drive to create something that moves people both literally and emotionally.

LA Live: Rock the Red Kettle Holiday Concert Giving in a Rockin' way


To get in the Christmas mood I attended the annual Rock the Red Kettle concert put on by the Salvation Army every year in downtown LA. At the LA Live event center the intimate venue and Christmas decorations as well as the nice weather make the outdoor concert a great one. This year the main performers included R5 and You Tube sensation Shawn Mendez. Every year the Salvation Army puts on the Rock the Red Kettle concert with up and coming musical artists to spread awareness for the foundation and help promote giving. The concert started out small but has grown to have a large turnout and this year was definitely a success.  Be prepared for a long line and a long wait.  Upon arrival I was directed to the ticket line, three blocks from the actual venue, where I climbed stairs and wound through the ropes.  The attendants were taking guests in groups so we stood at the front of the line waiting for a large enough group before they walked us all back to where we started to enter the concert.  Despite this slightly inconvenient process, the event was worth it.  I was able to get great seats in the press area so I can share the most exclusive concert coverage with you.

The opening act was Josh Levi, an up and coming artist, with a fan following nick named Levination. The next act was Exist Elsewhere, a trending California band with a cool sound and great performance.

 I really enjoyed seeing Exist Elsewhere as I hadn't heard of them before the concert. They have a unique sound and really capture California music. Next up was Becky G the young rapper and winner of Disney Channel's Next Big Thing or N.B.T. Becky G. is currently on tour with Jason Derulo and quickly gaining popularity as a young rapper. She gave a great performance and got the crowd excited. then cam R5 the band starring Disney Channel's Ross lynch from Austin and Ally and his siblings. 

They have been on tour in Europe and played their most popular song Smile for the excited crowd. Then there was Bea Miller the young singer who is gaining popularity on the itune pop music chart with her song Young Blood. She performed her new song for us "Rich Kids" which was a great song with a pop vibe. I think she will continue to gain recognition with her great attitude and talent. 

And the act the whole crowd was waiting for, Shawn Mendez, closed the show with a great acoustic performance of his most popular songs. The young YouTube singer has a large fan base and gained recognition by posting videos of himself singing his own songs and covers on Youtube. The giant Christmas tree and lighted tress along with the ice skating rink gave the LA live event some great Christmas cheer. Rock the Red Kettle is a great way to celebrate the true meaning of the holiday season, giving back. I am definitely looking forward to see which up-and-coming bands will perform next year. Hope to see you there! For more info on the rock the red kettle tour go to http://blog.salvationarmyusa.org/2014/12/17/youtube-talents-encourages-viewers-to-donate-to-the-salvation-army/.
