Sunny Delight
"Sunny Delight" migrated north after performing for over three decades in the greater Los Angeles and Hollywood areas.

Her first motion picture and music videos were booked by age eleven after she found that hip-hop, funk, popping and locking were the areas where she really shined most. Sunny performed as a dancer, cheerleader and member of professional companies. Eventually, Sunny found the perfect place for her passion in being a choreographer by landing as head coach for the high school she once attended. She led the dance team to successful regional, state and nationwide notoriety before relocating to the central coast where a career opportunity led her to becoming a Delight.
