Her screen work includes appearances in Shortland Street, the critically acclaimed series The Panthers, and several short films.
Before focusing on acting, Bianca had an exceptional dance career across New Zealand and the U.S., performing for four years under EMMY Award-winning choreographer Parris Goebel. During this time, she became a World Hip Hop Champion, earning two Gold and one Bronze medals at the World Hip Hop Championships in Las Vegas, and later joined Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE for a three-year run.
She is also the co-founder of OK Now Ladies, an empowerment-focused dance-fitness company she launched and ran in New Zealand for seven years. She has since teamed up with her best friend and business partner in Las Vegas to launch OK Now Ladies Las Vegas, continuing to inspire women to reconnect with their bodies and confidence through movement.
