In 2007, Lil' C was cast in the David Michalek traveling exhibit Slow Dancing, "a series of 43 larger-than-life, hyper-slow-motion video portraits of dancers and choreographers from around the world, displayed on multiple screens. Each [dancer]'s movement (approximately 5 seconds long) was shot on a specially constructed set using a high-speed, high-definition camera recording at 1,000 frames per second (standard film captures 24 frames per second). The result is approximately 10 minutes of extreme slow motion." The exhibit has traveled to New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, Venice, and London.

In 2010, Lil' C appeared in the second season of Dance Your Ass Off as a guest judge. He also played the character Z in the web series The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers.
