The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, starring Bad Bunny, was more than just 13 minutes of dance choreography. It was a statement of inclusion and a vibrant celebration of Spanish-language culture. Charm La'Donna, a Compton-born dancer and choreographer, led the performance alongside longtime associate Karina Ortiz. La'Donna explained that the show aimed to bring together different backgrounds in a space where everyone could enjoy and celebrate love.
Ortiz added that the mix of people made the performance beautiful. Creating this sense of community wasn't easy for either of them, as La'Donna had never worked with Bad Bunny before and Ortiz had never done a Super Bowl halftime show. However, they knew it was important to represent Puerto Rican culture and make everyone feel represented and seen.
The stage at Levi's Stadium in Northern California was part of the larger village, with elements like a casita, cornfields, a wedding, and a bodega. Each dance was chosen based on the songs, mixing Latin communities and celebrating various styles. The toughest part was getting everything to fit together seamlessly, with 300 dancers coordinating their movements on cornstalk costumes and ensuring the performance covered 13 different songs in 13 minutes.
