She most recently choreographed Lauren Daigle's World Tour 2021, the ACM Awards with Carrie Underwood and CeCe Winans, a music video for pop artist Marin Rylee, and a commercial for clothing designer William Harris III.

With her years of experience in Los Angeles and Nashville, Chi created an industry training camp for aspiring pro dancers ages 10–30 called HOLLYWOOD DANCE INTENSIVE. Chi has also authored her own book, Touring with a Beatle, where she describes her journey to LA, the thrill of being hired by Paul McCartney, and the excitement of touring the world with one of the most famous musicians of all time.
