Shiloh Jolie is proving that hard work runs in the family!
On Saturday, Aug. 24, choreographer Kolanie Marks shared a video to Instagram, showing the 18-year-old daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt busting a few moves as she gradually sharpens her dancing skills.
Marks, who previously spoke with PEOPLE about Shiloh's commitment "to a craft that is extremely hard," joked on Instagram that he's "officially her ADOPTED UNCLE" after her latest display of dancing chops under his tutelage.
Marks' latest video featured Shiloh dancing to Capella Grey, Jaewon and Young M.A.'s "Fly S---," as onlookers cheered her on. "I've watched this so many times and the confidence is growing and building! Keep going @sh1lohj I'm so so proud," Marks wrote in the caption that included a shout-out to choreographer Devin Solomon.
He also wrote on his Instagram Stories, "She's getting so good! I'm happy that she's sticking to the training!"
In July, Marks revealed in his interview with PEOPLE that he's worked with Shiloh for a couple years following their first class together at Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles. As he explained at the time, she's "dedicated herself to trying to figure out" his style of dance.
Marks, who has choreographed tours and music videos for artists like Mindless Behavior and Marques Houston, continues to post about Shiloh's progress on Instagram.
He told PEOPLE last month that their professional relationship is "very strictly based off of what we focus on, which is the dancing" and they don't discuss her famous family. Shiloh is the fourth-oldest child of exes Jolie and Pitt, who also share Maddox, 23, Zahara, 19, Pax, 20, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.
"I totally forgot who she is in that moment, because that's not what we focus on when we're training," he said of posting about her dance transformation. "I wanted to give her praise, of just the hard work and dedication that she puts in."
In July, Marks posted a video montage highlighting the rising dancer's commitment to the art form and her "doesn't quit" mindset.
"I'm proud and no we’re not done," he wrote of her growth as a dancer. "Give me til January!!!! I love to help dancers succeed!!! Many dancers/choreographers out now I've helped guide! All I need is trust and consistency and we will book!"
It's been a big year for Shiloh, who earlier this month was granted a name change. The teen filed to drop "Pitt" from her last name in May, and can now legally go by Shiloh Jolie as of August. A source close to Pitt told PEOPLE earlier this year that the actor was "aware" of the change, adding that he "loves his children and misses them."
Just "aware" instead of "aware and upset."
Nothing in People about this.
Jon Voight begs Brad Pitt to end ‘nonsense’ with Angelina Jolie, source argues winery lawsuit will protect kids’ inheritance https://t.co/zOvJbqJGWy pic.twitter.com/845kj4zGUO

Jon Voight put out a public plea to Brad Pitt to put a stop to the movie star’s seemingly endless divorce battle with his daughter, Angelina Jolie.
“I wish that would be over,” the “Reagan” star, 85, told Fox News Digital Friday. “It’s tough. I wish they found a way to make peace.”
Voight, who was once estranged from his daughter due in part to differing political views, added that he is concerned about how Pitt and Jolie’s legal drama has affected his grandkids.
“I think that the kids need some stability,” Voight said. “I love the kids and I love my daughter, and I want Brad to step up, too, [and do] what he has to do [and] end this nonsense.”
Pitt’s rep declined to comment on Voight’s remarks, but a source close to the “Fight Club” star tells Page Six exclusively that “It’s important that people realize that Brad’s motivation is to ensure that his kids can maximize the benefit of this asset,” “Once it was sold, that’s no longer the case and it significantly decreased their inheritance.”
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016 following a slew of disagreements, including a blowout fight on a plane that allegedly turned abusive.
Pitt has never been criminally charged for any abuse claims, but a source close to the actor has said, “Brad admitted that his behavior on the plane was wrong. He took steps to improve himself.”
