50,000

Wow..50,000 page views since my very first post on Monday 26th October 2009! I can't thank you enough for continuing to support my blog by reading, following or even just passing through. In particular I'd like to thank you all for the lovely comments you shower me with!
For those who didn't know, I originally started the blog for a university module for which I successfully passed..and with a first! So thank you for all your support in helping me achieve these results :)

Also thank you, to everyone from the industry that has contacted me with offers to events, catwalk shows etc along with textiles/design teachers asking permission to use my work in lectures, and those that just wanted to say they enjoyed reading my posts!

In celebration, I have decided to revamp The Virtue of Style in due course, and I'm considering a new header as well.

50, 000!

PS. I'm getting a lot of inbox love at the moment..(the main themes being to do with my year in industry, my course at Leeds and which celebrities I saw in LA haha!) I will answer all soon, and thank you for the messages and your kind words!)

D.A.N.C.E

This month I've had the pleasure of working along side some huge names of the dance world. I've been filming in London for Streetdance 2 3D, the sequel to the UK's first urban dance film which showed in cinemas last summer. The film isn't out until next year so I can't say/show you too much! But I can say I've been incredibly lucky to watch and work with dancers such as Sofia Boutella, Rich & Tone the Talauega brothers, BirdGang, Flii Stylz and George Sampson (even though I'm not really a fan!)
Most of you will know Sofia Boutella as the girl from the Nike dance adverts or perhaps from Michael Jackson's Hollywood Tonight video. The Talauega brothers are responsible for the ridiculous choreo during the battle at the end of Step Up 3D as well as Save The Last Dance and many artist's tours and music videos including Michael Jackson.
Flii Stylz is one of my favourite choreographers, and his show reel includes music videos for Chris Brown, Usher, JLo, Black Eyed Peas, Aaliyah and Missy Elliott to name but a few! As well as commercials for Gap, Mitsubishi and Pepsi. He has also danced alongside Beyonce during world tours and appears in the music video for MJ's Rock My World!
Check out Flii's show reel here.
