MEET CHERYL KOO “Dance is my passion, Design is my career. They are my balance. I cannot have one without the other.” Cheryl Koo has strived to fuse her two passions in life, which leads her to where she is today. Her goal is to style the world through different avenues of art in hopes to bring together a community beyond JUST dance, JUST fashion, JUST art, JUST music. In dance, Cheryl has been trained technically since she was young but discovered hip hop when she reached college. She was the director of USC’s Chaotic3 for 4 years, founded SydeProjekt in 2005, danced for CSNY and 2XSNY for a year in 2006, danced on Breed OCLA since 2004 to the present, and is also currently dancing with Essence and Boxcutters. As a dancer, she has also been asked to style each of these teams at least once. Cheryl also helped with wardrobe of, as well as dancing in, the Mims video “Like This” in 2007, and danced for Snoop Dogg’s clothing launch in MAGIC in February 2007 (Vegas). This in turn leads to her other love. With a resume of working and interning at brands such as: Triple5Soul, LAMB, Adidas Originals both in SOHO and MELROSE, she has gained the experience to start her very own company: THE OTHER DUCK. This brand new company is the answer to fusing Cheryl’s two loves. With the love and support of the dance community, The Other Duck has been spreading into cities and countries all over the world, including: LA, SF, SD, OC, Vancouver, Montreal, Chicago, Norway, Taiwan, Japan, Germany …
