After high school, Fletcher moved to Los Angles where she started dancing professionally but in 1990 she met Adam Shankman who hired her to dance at the Academy Awards. Following this, he hired her to choreograph multiple films including the Oscar-nominated film Boogie Nights (1997) which stared Burt Reynolds, Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore and Heather Graham and A Life Less Ordinary (1997) with Cameron Diaz and Ewan McGregor. These films Fletcher both choreographed and stared in as a dancer until she began to consider directing with the support from Shankman. Fletcher’s first film was Step-Up (2006) staring Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum, with the acquired skills and training from viewing Shankman’s work. This film was nominated for one award, Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie – Dance Scene.
