Inspirational people part I- Andre Fuentes

Andre Fuentes

"I attended once school dance class and teacher decided i should try audition for upcoming Michael Jacksons show, so I did. There were hundreds kids, they kept cutting and cutting but I was still there till there was around 20 of us and I got  it "

From time to time i will share person who inspires me. I will start with amazing cause of many reasons Andree Fuentes who i got to know as  a choreographer and a person. He shared with me his experience, visions, work, time and most important he trusted me enough to put me in his show after one class and gave a chance to be a part of the amazing performance.

Andree Fuentes is well known because of his work experience with Britney Spears.
"For the last ten years, choreographer Andre Fuentes has been at the forefront of pop music, providing the dance moves for some of the industry’s biggest stars. Andre has choreographed and performed for Britney Spears in countless music videos (I’m a Slave 4 U, Born to Make you Happy, Crazy,), commercials such as Pepsi  and live performances  such as the Oops! I Did It Again World Tour, HBO Live in Las Vegas “Dream Within a Dream” World Tour.
Andre’s work with other artists includes Beyonce, Prince, Jewel, No Doubt and Brandy.
 Andre choreographed the award winning music videos “Womanizer” and “Circus” from Britney Spears’ album Circus, as well as choreographed her Circus Promo Tour and contributing choreographer for Circus World Tour."

For me amazingly interesting and inspiring is the beginning of his dance career. As you can read above he got his first job when he was a kid without any dance experience, and it was not just a job it was Michael Jacksons performance!!! Which i had a chance to see video of. After this experience he said that this was all he wanted to do and thats exactly what happened ! Now he's travelling around the world, teaching, directing inspiring!

Working with him thought me that creating a show is at some point collaboration the choreographer with dancers whos gettin inspired by them. With every rehearsal he's gettin to know he's "tools" better and so he plays with shaping the picture with them trying out how far can he goes , which pictures works with that team and which doesn't. Andres' dancers need to be ready for any change at any time as his vision is open-ended, it's elastic, and the most important lesson one must completely trust choreographer once he/she was given with a trust to be a part of his picture. Sometimes dancers forget they are only tools in a big creation process, that's when drama comes in.

Andre thank you for part in the performance, for rehealsals, for watching cut materials from work with Britney and all the other materials, for beeing a great teacher and huge inspiration !
