Case in point: Jeanine spent last year touring as a teacher’s assistant for JUMP, where celeb choreographers are typically the center of attention—yet even as an assistant, Jeanine didn’t fade into the background. “I was at a JUMP regional demonstrating Mandy Moore’s choreography, and a woman came up to me with her daughter asking for an autograph,” remembers 18-year-old Jeanine. “She said, ‘We just have a feeling that one day we’ll be watching you on TV, and we want something to remember you by
