HI, WELCOME TO ABOUT INSIDER! THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO CHAT WITH US! CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF, WHO IS BRENZLEY FERREIRA IN YOUR OWN WORDS?
Brenzley Ferrieria is a very active performer with a passsion for family, animals, and being in her chosen element- performing! When Brenzley is not performing and doing what she loves most, which is delivering a show to an audience, she is enjoying country living.

Her greatest joy is when she can showcase her talents and her passion for performing arts. Her dream is to one day be a professional dancer and choreographer.
AS A DANCER, ACTRESS, AND MODEL, WHAT INITIALLY INSPIRED YOU TO PURSUE A CAREER IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, AND HOW DID YOU GET STARTED?
I am a California native and have been given numerous opportunities to train with top level talent. My love for performing arts was ignited when I was at an event featuring professional dancers. I was immediately blown away by the grandeur and the scale of performance level ahead I saw there. I knew that was not only something I wanted to be a part of, but also that I would dedicate my life at an early age to pursue my dreams! I have an amazing support system in my family. They have dedicated their resources into investing in my future. I am thriving in home education which provides me with multiple avenues to participate in performing arts programs, outstanding academic training, and time to care for my animals. All of these tie together when allowing me the gift of following my heart to accomplish my dreams and goals.
WHAT DO YOU FIND MOST FULFILLING ABOUT EXPRESSING YOURSELF THROUGH DANCE, ACTING, AND MODELING? ARE THERE CERTAIN PROJECTS OR PERFORMANCES THAT HOLD SPECIAL MEANING FOR YOU?
What I find most fulfilling is to show audiences that beauty is from within. We are all different shapes and sizes and it is a blessing to be able to perform regardless of your body type. I want to encourage others to be themselves and show their true authentic self to the world. My most meaningful projects so far is working alongside a major Youtuber/Influencer who provided mentorship, feedback, and inspiration.
LIVING AND WORKING IN LOS ANGELES, WHAT UNIQUE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES HAVE YOU ENCOUNTERED, AND HOW HAS THE CITY INFLUENCED YOUR CREATIVE JOURNEY?
I believe that Los Angeles has been the city of dreams for me. Being in LA offers many opportunities for networking, professional training with top notch industry contributors, and most importantly- fun! I had the gift of being able to attend many auditions, perfecting my craft and being trained by the best of the best. I have booked numerous roles attributing to the fact that I have the ability to be in the entertainment capital of the world to hone my talents. I could not think of being anywhere else to pursue my ambitions other than LA!
WHAT ROLE DO YOU THINK VERSATILITY PLAYS IN BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL CAREER IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, AND HOW DO YOU BALANCE YOUR PASSIONS FOR DANCING, ACTING, AND MODELING?
I feel that part of being a true performer is being adaptable. When I’m studying my favorite dancers and actors, every one of them has perfected the art of versatility. Dancing, acting, and modeling all complement one another. They all work together. I balance all these passions by setting goals, working on my school work, spending time with my animals, and studying dancers every day by using micro habits. I spend a certain amount of time each day with each skill to best serve myself and my talents.
AS A DANCER, WHAT STYLES OR FORMS DO YOU FEEL MOST CONNECTED TO, AND HOW DO THEY SHAPE YOUR PERFORMANCE APPROACH BOTH ON AND OFF STAGE?
I love it all! However, if I had to pick one, it would most definitely be hip-hop. It is fun to watch, fun to listen to, and best to get to perform for an empty room or an entire audience! I feel connected to it because I enjoy the quick movements to upbeat music. It lightens the internal load on the viewer no matter their circumstances.
HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A ROLE OR A DANCE PERFORMANCE? ARE THERE CERTAIN TECHNIQUES OR ROUTINES THAT HELP YOU STAY GROUNDED AND FOCUSED?
I like to envision myself performing and then doing the absolute best I can. If I go into a space I can focus more as it is really helpful beforehand.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO ASPIRING DANCERS, ACTORS, OR MODELS WHO ARE JUST BEGINNING THEIR JOURNEY IN THE INDUSTRY? “BE YOURSELF!”
I have been on the scene professionally as a youth performer for several years now and can genuinely share the importance of being yourself! It is valuable to be humble and stay kind.
WHAT’S SOMETHING WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU THAT MIGHT SURPRISE US?
I am an avid gardener who loves to grow my own vegetables. As a performer, I understand that it is imperative to properly fuel my body in order for it to recover and deliver. I have taken up gardening as a way of life to maintain a healthy diet and a way to give back to my family and friends. It is a joy for me to garden in my spare time.
