DANCING IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL...ESPECIALLY IN PUBLIC PLACES.











Amidst the tragedy and sadness in Haiti, hope this one at least leaves you smiling....

I had the opportunity of working with acclaimed choreographer Noemie Lafrance in Agora II as a dancer a few years back.

Here is Noemie's award winning collaboration with Canadian singer/songwriter, Feist on her video for the song, 1234. Directed by Patrick Daughters (Yeah Yeah Yeah's Maps, Depeche Mode's Wrong, and Beck's Nausea). Apple used the song and video to debut the release of the new iPod nano in a commercial. MAD TV later went unto make their own version of the video - which isn't posted here but feel free to look it up.

Noemie Lafrance also choreographed Feist's video for My Moon, My Man. Which takes place on a moving walkway in the interior of an airport.

Cheers Noemie & congrats on the beautiful baby boy!!!
