She became a performing member of the R.U.D 3 team. The teams unique style of dance and choreography combined with outstanding performance skills, made them a hit at each venue they showcased their talent. Her team danced at the 2006 Summer Splash event in Palm Springs, which lead to an invitation for Devynn to work with Al “Liquid Silver” Espinoza.
