Mimi in Body Revolution

Full Name: Kamilah "Mimi" Barrett

Video Introduction: Jillian calls out Kamilah several times, to demonstrate a more energetic or entertaining variation of an exercise. Her nickname "Mimi" is used in all the workouts. Aside from old pros Anita and Natalie, Mimi is probably the most comfortable and talkative of the group.

Kamila created Heel Hop

Background/Current: Kamilah was a contestant on season 1 of So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD) in the U.S. She was eliminated in week 6, finishing in the top 6 of that season. She has that experience in common with Hayley, who was a British series 1 SYTYCD contestant.

Her biography describes her as follows: "A spiritually connected, certified fitness instructor, she has traveled the world as a Professional Choreographer, Dancer, Singer, and Actress. Discovered by the music legend Prince, Kamilah’s style and brand has always remained consistent: Classy, Sexy, Empowering." You can see the some of the diverse projects she has done in the links below.

She is the creator of Heel Hop, a workout program designed to combine hip hop dance moves and high heels, particularly suited to performers who wear them often.

My Comments: Mimi is fun to watch in Body Revolution. I had no idea she was such an accomplished performer. When she says in one of the workouts, "I want to go out dancing!" it makes a lot of sense!
