Independence-born dancer Logan Lanigan celebrated her 24th birthday last week in a big way: by performing alongside the most-streamed musician in the world.
She was one of many dancers on the field during the Super Bowl LX halftime show performed by Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny on Sunday, Feb. 8. The 13-minute performance at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, drew 128.2 million viewers, according to Nielsen, and captivated audiences worldwide.

Lanigan received a call from her agent that there were auditions going on for a secret performance, but she figured out it was for the big game based on the date of the performance. She tried out, and learned of the good news around Christmas via an email while watching movies with her family.
“I stood up, and I was like, ‘oh my god, I think I just booked the Super Bowl,’ and everyone was silent with their mouths open,” Lanigan said. “There weren’t really any words, because that’s one of the biggest jobs you can book as a professional dancer.”

Lanigan, a graduate from Truman High School, said her journey to getting to the Super Bowl started out when she was a baby. She recalled stories from her parents telling her that she learned her to dance before she learned how to walk, as she was often seen “boogying” around while crawling on the floors.
She was 4 years old when her parents decided to enroll her in dance classes at The Pulse Performing Arts Center because they thought it’d be cute to see her prance around in a tutu. At that age, most kids are scared to get on stage, but she performed well under the bright lights, according to her parents.
Every year after that, she got better at her craft. After she graduated from Truman, she moved to Los Angeles to further her career in dance. Over the past few years, she’s performed with hip-hop acts like 50 Cent, Nelly, Mase and Flo Milli, but none were as big as the Super Bowl.
She was one of the core dancers for Bad Bunny — real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — which came with a lot of responsibility. She was involved in multiple sections, starting out in La Casita, a set piece modeled after traditional Puerto Rican homes.
A quick wardrobe change followed for the performance of “NUEVAYoL,” and then she and the other dancers got in position after Ricky Martin’s surprise appearance to dance along to “El Apagon,” before the entire crew walked alongside Bad Bunny for “DtMF.”

She said it’s a lot to remember, but that it becomes second nature when you’ve been rehearsing every step for the entire month of January for 8-10 hours every day. The magnitude of the halftime show made it so much more important for her.
“The importance of this one, knowing what this performance was going to mean for so many people, especially performing it right now, and the vastness of the audience that could see it,” Lanigan said. “Knowing all those factors made the performance very important to everyone, and we knew that we had to deliver.”
Bad Bunny was one of the sweetest people Lanigan said she’s ever worked with, even if he was shy at first. She said he loved coming up to all the performers and asking them how their days were going and that he was grateful for their help in putting the show together.

In a big venue like Levi’s Stadium, the performers all had to wear special earbuds so they could hear the music clearly. They also act as walkie-talkies, and she said the superstar would give them messages of encouragement.
“He just told us all the time how thankful he was that we wanted to help him share his culture with the world and bring Puerto Rico to the big stage,” Lanigan said. “After the performance, he came into our hangout area and was just ecstatic when he came in.”
“He was telling us that he loves and cares for all of us, that he was so happy with what we had done, and he was proud of all of us.”
The only thing that would’ve made the performance better, according to Lanigan? If the Chiefs were playing in the championship game this time.
“I have to just book the Super Bowl again, right?,” she said.
