At the Palm Springs Red Carpet Gala honoring FNX TV’s first Native streaming app, the Electric Turquoise Ladies turned heads in matching turquoise ensembles. The all-female Indigenous dance troupe was choreographed by Tesla Wolfe, whose dynamic routines and cultural pride set the tone for a night of celebration.
A Night On The Red Carpet
Guests at the Agua Caliente Casinos venue snapped photos as the troupe posed against a backdrop of logos for FNX TV and casino partners. One dancer even quipped on Instagram, ““Bedter Don’t Mess with @messy_dessi23 if you ain’t Solid” 💯,” giving fans a glimpse of the group’s playful camaraderie.
Meet The Electric Turquoise Ladies
The ensemble goes by Electric Turquoise, a name that nods to the vibrant hue often used in Indigenous jewelry and regalia. Members include @messy_dessi23, Diane Chaa, Natalie Kyaa and others who bring professional precision and cultural storytelling to every step. In a recent Instagram post, the group tagged @teslawolfe and credited her for making “this all happen,” highlighting the collaborative spirit behind the show.
Behind The Scenes With Tesla Wolfe
Tesla Wolfe has emerged as a leading choreographer for Indigenous artists, blending contemporary movement with traditional motifs. Earlier this year, she organized a similar showcase at FNX TV’s launch event inside the same casino, thanking partners like @ruth.annthorn and videographer @frankblanquet for their support. “Electric ⚡️ Ladies,” she captioned that post, signaling both the energy and unity of her dancers.
In rehearsal footage shared on Instagram, Wolfe can be seen calling out counts and encouraging her team. “If you know… You know what Electric Turquoise is all about ⚡️,” reads one behind-the-scenes caption, underscoring the troupe’s commitment to authenticity.
Celebrating Indigenous Media
FNX TV, the first Native-owned streaming service, has made waves by offering original series, documentaries and music content that center Indigenous voices. The red carpet event marked its Palm Springs debut, and the performance served as both entertainment and a statement: Indigenous culture is alive, evolving and ready for prime time.
The troupe’s choreography wove in elements of powwow footwork and contemporary jazz, complete with sharp arm accents and synchronized spins. Each dancer’s costume featured turquoise fringe and beadwork, tying back to the group’s name and to centuries-old traditions of tribal adornment.
Looking Ahead
With the gala behind them, Electric Turquoise Ladies are gearing up for a national tour of cultural festivals and dance conventions. Tesla Wolfe has hinted at upcoming workshops in Santa Fe and Las Vegas, where participants can learn her signature fusion style. FNX TV plans to feature select performances on its platform, giving viewers across North America front-row seats to Indigenous artistry.
As the lights dimmed on the red carpet, the message was clear: this is just the beginning for Tesla Wolfe and her Electric Turquoise Ladies. Their blend of tradition and innovation has already earned them a devoted following, and with FNX TV’s support, they’re poised to reach even wider audiences.
Whether you caught them live under the Palm Springs spotlights or will tune in online, one thing is certain—Electric Turquoise is here to stay.
