Jeffery Daniel - West Coast Street Dance Master Class (UK, Nov 2009)

View Jeffery Daniel - West Coast Street Dance Master Class (UK, Nov 2009) on DanceWeb DanceWeb

Jeffrey Daniel Jeffrey Daniel was choreographer and personal dance teacher to Michael Jackson and is credited with introducing street dance into Europe through his work with Shalamar. He taught Michael many moves - the most famous of which was the Moon Walk.

Jeffrey also choreographed Michael’s Bad and Smooth Criminal videos (in which he also featured) and was creative consultant on the live tours and other videos such as Ghosts. Jeffrey worked with MJ as a friend and mentor for more than 25 years.

The influence of Jeffrey Daniel and the American 'Soul Train' T.V. dancers, is evident today in the moves of Chris Brown, Usher and Justin Timberlake. This new generation of stars were inspired by Michael Jackson. Jackson in turn was inspired by the dancers from 'Soul Train'. He soon met, learned from, and later hired dancers and choreographers from the cult T.V. show. One of those young dancers was Jeffrey Daniel who had first come to fame on the programme before international stardom beckoned with Shalamar - selling 25 million records worldwide with hits such as “A Night to Remember”.

Jeffrey and his peers took a style of dance from the streets and clubs to the mainstream music and media world. The world saw a fusion of Jazz, Popping, Locking, Robotics, Wack, House and Hip Hop merged into effortless sequences. During his career Jeffrey has taught, worked and ranked alongside other friends and dance pioneers such as Casper Geron, Poppin' Pete, Tyrone Proctor, Don Campbell and The Electric Boogaloos.

Jeffrey performed a body popping and locking routine which saw the debut of the moonwalk in the U.K. on 'Top of The Pops' - the year before MJ performed the move on Motown 25. This episode was one of the most watched in the history of Top of the Pops.

UK Dance Master Classes

Each of the two hour classes will include the history and background of the West Coast Contemporary Street Dance style that took Jeffrey from Soul train to Shalamar's world tours and becoming the first Street Dance choreographer ever nominated for an MTV best choreographer Award for his work on Michael Jackson's "Bad" video.

The advanced class is open to higher level dancers and the beginners class will welcome all - aged from 8 to 88 that have aspirations of greatness and who are looking to have fun and learn. The Master Class will be the first of this type Jeffrey has ever taught in the UK. Jeffrey Daniel is in the UK for a limited time only before returning to Japan.

So you are all welcome to come and enjoy a celebration of the West Coast legacy of dance that has influenced the entire industry and generations since the late 1970's until 2009 by Los Angeles Master Pioneer, Jeffrey Daniel.

Eternal Light Dance Tour 2009

Edited: Wed, 25 Feb 2009

Eternal Light is a new collaboration by Mark Baldwin and British composer Howard Goodall. This powerful piece is set to an elegiac and uplifting new score and is sung live by professional choirs. Sumptuous designs from Production Designer Michael Howells (Constant Speed, Galliano, Dior and film), feature sparkling crystals donated by Swarovski, and a striking headdress design from fashion milliner Stephen Jones.

Eternal Light is a heartfelt remembrance of many things: a lost summer's day, the destruction of the forests, a life looking back, a memory. Happiness and sadness are personified in a dying bird or a reflection on youth - what has been and is now gone, held in our hearts forever.

Eternal Light commissioned by Sadler's Wells
Eternal Light: A Requiem commissioned by Mark Stephenson on behalf of London Musici.

The music, Eternal Light: A Requiem is available on CD. Click here to read the lyrics.

Lord Of The Dance returns to the UK for 2009

Edited: Sat, 17 Jan 2009

Lord of the Dance Critically acclaimed dance show, 'Lord of The Dance' is back to tour the UK this year, starting from 29th April and running all the way through to December.

'Lord of The Dance', created by the talented Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley back in 1996, has thrilled and mesmerised audiences around the world. From the moment the lights go down to the last encore, spectators are spellbound by a masterfully orchestrated combination of precision dancing, state of the art lighting and music. It has also brought the magic of Irish dance into the international arena.

The story of the show is based on Irish folklore, which is a classic tale of Good vs. Evil, expressed through the universal language of dance. As the story unfolds, it shows a mythical universe of love, danger and desire.

Although Michael no longer performs on the show, he is still very much involved in the production, to ensure that the highest standards and reputations are maintained. Michael performed his final show at Dublin's RDS arena back in 1998 on 28th June, after having been involved in 390 performances. Since then he has created and starred in two more spectacular productions: 'Feet of Flames' and 'Celtic Tiger'.

There are currently two Lord of The Dance troupes touring the globe, one within North America, and one touring worldwide.

Tickets for this show are on sale now.
