She trained at her mother's studio (Charisma Studio in Springville UT) where she currently teaches and choreographs. The pair, billed as Charity & Andres, choreographed their own routines, taking advantage of each other's athleticism and knowledge of "dance tricks". They scored 95.3 in the Qualifying round and received a perfect 100 in the second Duels round. This was the first perfect score in the show's history. Their dance, set to the rock hit "Way Down We Go" by Kaleo, included Anderson performing a blind jump onto Penate's back. They finished third in the finals with a combined average score of 94.3. In April 2019, Anderson was one of seven dancers selected to back Derek Hough on his first solo tour. In August 2019, Charity & Andres choreographed and performed a special "farewell dance" for The Piano Guys' cover of Lewis Capaldi's "Someone You Loved".
