Parris upgrades any day – damn’t she’s otherworldly! This video is from 2012, and the precision and musicality blows my mind! By the way it’s real time not sped up. You’ll know what I’m talking about when you reach 2:30 time in the video. Enjoy ;) xx
P.S Let’s not even touch the styling in this video. Too on point for words.

The A – Z of Dance || Diesel Jeans
BY FAR, the best commercial I’ve seen in awhile. Diesel seems to just get cooler… To market their Jogg jeans collection, Diesel shows you just how flexible and stylish their newest denim is by creating a montage of talented individuals WERKING every form of dance from A to Z… Director Jacob Sutton captured the world’s best dancers from the hot rooftops of sunny LA and he also just convinced me I need a pair from watching this video. Well done, Sir.
With the collaboration of Diesel, i-D Magazine, Bloc Agency, Connect The Dots, Bonch and the outstanding talent, this video wouldn’t be possible, and I sincerely thank you!

Gatsby Got Grooves
CALGARY, MAY 2013
Words by Kate Wotherspoon
A little party never killed nobody and sassy music is a necessity! This post is about The Great Gatsby yes, but I’m not going to focus on the extraordinary visual splendor it offered fashion and production wise, I’m here to promote it’s groundbreaking soundtrack! I was dancing in my seat last Friday night watching this incredible film in theater. With songs by Jay Z, The XX, Goyte, Lana Del Ray, will.i.am, Kanye West, Fergie, Florence & the Machine and more, my imagination was filling with up with endless dance routines and projects to create to hopefully match each song’s uniqueness and brilliance. I have to commend the outstanding dancers and choreographers for this film – unbelievably executed and wonderfully entertaining.
It makes you wonder… If you were to live in any other decade, which would it be? My answer? The roaring 1920s for it’s dancing, music, the beginning of women’s rights and undoubtedly, the pearls, the drop-waist dresses, cute bob hairstyles and T-straps shoes!
Just so you know… That headpiece she is wearing costs $220,000 from Tiffany & Co. No big deal…
Here are some of my fave hits from The Great Gatsby soundtrack. Please enjoy responsibly. (And by responsibly I mean, not dancing around so hard in a small space you knock everything around you down and end up on the floor with bruises and broken lamps & vases…)
“Together” – The XX
“A Little Party Never Killed Nobody” – Fergie, Q-Tip & GoonRock
“Over the Love” – Florence & the Machine
“No Church in the Wild” – Kanye West & Jay Z (Ft. FrankOcean)
What a sexy man!
Leo and I thank you for visiting. Now that you have some serious “tuneage”, grab a lover and Charleston your way all through the night ;) Cheers!

A Perfect Parallel || Tamina & Jojo
Like I’ve said many times before, fashion and dance go so hand in hand you’d have to be blind not to see it. This video is a definite parallel for what I love to write about and I’m sure you would agree.
Jojo and Tamina did such an amazing job choreographing this and gave the video such bitch slappin’ style…yes I just said that. With Jojo reppin’ Vancouver and Tamina reppin’ Toronto alongside my very good friend Christina de la Cruz, this video is full of Canadian Talent. HYPE!
It’s Tamina’s birthday today so please send out a birthday tweet (@misstamina) to her and check out her previous post here!
Enjoy the video and suscribe to my twitter and blog!

After the Storm
No big deal… just an amazing video performed on a staircase with wicked camera angles and choreography….If you haven’t already seen this video, please set your settings to repeat and have a great afternoon. ;)
And thank you Megan and Jeff for continuously bringing creativity and inspirational movement to both your classes and videos.

Motivation of the Best Kind
My Auntie sent me this today and I had to post it. It’s so cute, very true and a genius idea. Why not make energy the old fashioned way and receive a lit up strip show in return? Enjoy. xx
Morgan Page – Body Work ft. Tegan and Sara
I have been a big fan of Tegan and Sara since Junior High and I’m loving their new song “Body Work” with Morgan Page. Thought I would post their freshest video because one of my close friends, Mark Samuels, choreographed it! I’m sure you can recognize some familiar faces in here if you were a big So You Think You Can Dance Canada fan. Now go do your body work and work out and dance to this song, it’s super catchy!
