While the entertainment industry is for the nearly part based around youth, it'due south rare that we encounter someone truly grow up on photographic camera. Ron Howard, Drew Barrymore, and a select few take come into their own and lasted in the business. In what would appear to exist the most recent private to fill this template is Canadian Briar Nolet. An artist of impressive dance and interim skills, Nolet appears on Temple Street Productions "The Next Footstep" about a group of young dancers. The Canadian program is equal parts astounding dance and a (fictionalized) delineation of the lives of the characters. Equally the youngest bandage fellow member of this program, Briar began as a member of J Troupe (the in-preparation group) simply was so skilled that she was quickly was moved upward to A Troupe and bandage on the testify. Throughout the several seasons of "The Next Step", fans from across the world have seen Briar grow from a young girl into a woman, mirroring the evolution of her acting and dance abilities. As a fan favorite, Nolet has traversed the planet with the live performances that "The Next Step" has toured with including; the Uk, Commonwealth of australia, Europe, Canada, and many other destinations.

"The Next Step" has won many awards (Canadian Cinema Editors Laurels, BAFTRA, Canadian Screen Award, etc.) and received numerous nominations, just that'southward not what made the bear witness an international success. Fans from unlike cultures connected with the young bandage members, the stories, and their struggles to pursue their dream. Frank Van Keekan (Creator of "The Next Step") confirms that Briar was a focal point of this reaction and the testify's success. He states, "Briar Nolet burst onto the scene of The Adjacent Step as a fellow member of J-Troupe. J-Troupe was the junior troupe in the dance studio. We specifically designed J-Troupe to be a preparation ground for new actors, getting them fix to move into A-Troupe once they were old enough and if they showed enough talent. Briar was one of the few actors that fabricated it through the 'organisation'. Her dancing and acro abilities were unparalleled. We were continually gob-smacked by her performances. Later on a couple of seasons, we quickly had plans to abound her into ane of the main cast members. As soon as she arrived there, Briar excelled, becoming one of the bear witness'southward regular cast members. During that time, and with very little effort, she grew a massive fan base and quickly became one of the stars of The Next Stride. She has gone on the alive tours which travel the globe over. Briar is easily one of the bear witness's most beloved cast members and 1 of the prove's most in-need characters. Information technology's been amazing to see how she has gone from a young J-Troupe member, to being ane of the testify'south stars. It'southward all due to her amazing piece of work ethic, her immense talent, and her star quality."

Briar's function on "The Next Step" is Richelle, a feisty and talented dancer who is singularly focused to become the greatest dancer she can. Possessing more mental attitude than friends, she exemplifies conclusion. Nolet describes, "Playing Richelle on The Adjacent Step, actually grew my skills as an actress. I accept similar characteristics to Richelle; yet, she does accept an edge that I don't actually share with her. In proverb this, it's fun to experiment and portray emotions that are dissimilar than how I [as Briar] would react to certain things." It is notable that one of the reasons Richelle has go such a favorite to fans of the show is for this unique personality. Richelle doesn't fit the mold of the status quo, which many of the show's admirers appreciate in both the character and Briar's portrayal.

Something that Nolet does share with her graphic symbol is the sacrifices which a dancer must make to pursue this passion. The life of a dancer, whether real or fictional, is one of giving up time with family unit and friends to hone your craft. The same cause and result applied to Briar'due south work as an actress. Richelle was perhaps communicated so well past this actress considering she could completely empathize with the character.

The immense talent of Briar's trip the light fantastic toe abilities is well documented and displayed on "The Next Stride." Pushing the limits of where trip the light fantastic toe stops and acrobatics begin, her performances on screen were often unbelievable. Briar is more than than amused to share as she states, "I would say something that sets me autonomously from everybody else is that I take no fright. Every bit a dancer, I will ever take risks and endeavour different things that sometimes nobody could even retrieve was possible. It'due south a stupor to everyone that such a little body can practise that. I also take a crazy amount of free energy and determination and I think that helps separate me from other people. I am i to of class exist safe but at the same time just get for things. Sometimes I honestly throw my torso somewhere and hope that I find my feet. Ha. A lot of my tricks that non many people can exercise come from merely trying the impossible. These are moves I have been doing for a long time and am very comfortable with, to the point that sometimes I don't even have to think about information technology. The difficulty level is the same no affair where I practice them. Obviously, on camera they tin can edit if I mess up a play tricks they can make it look like I didn't but,  on stage you can't do that then you've just gotta go for it. I go super pumped upward and excited when I am doing these things, I admittedly dear it."
