Interview With Teen Beach Movie’s Chrissie Fit & Jordan Fisher (Video) #TeenBeach2Event

Disclosure – I was invited to the #TeenBeach2Event & #InsideOutEvent. Costs and expenses for my trip were covered by Disney but all opinions expressed are my own.

Teen Beach Movie has been one of my daughter Hannah’s favorite movies. When the movie came out in July 2013 we had our own Teen Beach Movie Night where the whole family got involved. Our day had started with lots of fun at the pool and I even dressed up as CheeChee from the movie with her big beehive hairdo. After all the fun in the sun the day ended with the whole family watching Teen Beach Movie, wearing our props and all!

Since that day my daughter has probably watched Teen Beach Movie at least another dozen times if not more. When Hannah first heard about the new sequel coming out, she immediately asked if we were going to be watching the movie together again like we did the first time around.

Can you imagine Hannah’s excitement when she found out that I was going to get to watch Teen Beach 2 at the Disney Channel and also get to meet Chrissie Fit and Jordan Fisher who play “CheeChee” and “Seacat”? She wanted me to tell her about the movie as soon as I watched it but I only gave her a few spoilers.

Last week during our time at the Disney Channel, before our dance lesson with Chrissie Fit and Jordan Fisher, we also had the opportunity to do a Q&A  type of interview with these two after screening the sequel to ask any questions that we might have.

FIVE Interesting Things I Learned During This Q&A:

1. Chrissie is NOT a professional dancer. She says that she was a singer, then actress with no dance background besides the Salsa dancing and Meringue dancing she grew up with being part of a Cuban family.
2. Both Chrissie and Jordan two started their acting careers from having a CRUSH when they were young. In the 5th grade Jordan had a crush on a girl that was joining the school drama club so he decided to join too. Then while also in the 5th grade Chrissie had a crush on a 6th grader so she made sure she got a role in the school play to get his attention. While both of these crushes didn’t turn out as love, it did spark a love for acting!
3. In the new sequel Teen Beach 2, Chee Chee is wearing a hair piece instead of teasing and doing damage to her own hair. She said it was hard to keep in place, especially she was dancing.
4. We learned that they starting filming for Teen Beach 2 about a year ago and they conditioned for a month. They did choreography for about 3 weeks in Los Angeles and then moved to Puerto Rico where they rehearsed for another week or two. Jordan mentions that most of the time that was spent in studios was conditioning and the choreography for the movie happened more closer towards the end.
5. Chrissie admitted that she missed the rehearsal and conditioning since she was busy working on another film and eating Jambalaya and Crawfish and was able to skate in with just 3 hours of practice.

These are just 5 things that I learned, there is more! To listen to all of the questions that was asked be sure to watch my video of the Q&A with Chrissie Fit and Jordan Fisher:
