Moulin Rouge!'s Amber Ardolino, along with some of her Broadway dancer friends, have created a music video for the Grace Potter song "Paris Ooh La La" for International Women's Day!

Watch Ardolino, along with fellow dancers Lexi Garcia, Katie Laduca, Abby Jaros, and Kaitlin Mesh, dance it out below!

Ardolino told BroadwayWorld "I remember sitting at a friends house and hearing "Paris by Grace Potter" come on the record player. The beat was infectious and I instantly felt this power. I started improving around the living room. My brain was flooded with ideas. I knew I couldn't make this vision happen by myself, so I started calling up my friends."

"I don't know what I want to do, but I want to make a video that features women being the bad ass QUEENS that they are! You in?"

"I called up my dear friend, Rebecca Michelson to video it. I put a storyboard together in 2 days. I recorded the vocals immediately, and Jackson Teeley mixed it in 1 day."

"I thought of the 5 most powerful dancers that I know- Lexi Garcia, Abby Jaros, Katie Laduca and Kaitlyn Mesh. We got in a rehearsal room together for 2 hours to learn everything. A group of supportive, ferocious and bad ass women coming together to make something beautiful."

"I asked my friend Brandon Alberto to come in and help direct behind the camera. Keighley Nemickas was our right hand woman that day."

"After 4 hours, this sexy, strong and empowering video took off. "

"To me, International Womens Day is a day to celebrate the strength of womanhood. A day where we can reflect on everything women have survived, changed and will continue to change. A day where we can recognize and applaud the work/skills that female identifying friends do every day. My women: be bold, be you, lift each other up and go after what you want! Happy International Women's Day!"
