exclusive interview with Ashanti's choreographer

[Dance Zone]

aris-dance.com exclusive interview with Ashanti's choreographer Brice Vick.

Brice Vick: Legacy is my thing and if I don't teach people how I want them to dance, then my legacy will die. When I am dead and gone I want Brice Vick name to be all over and I want my style to come out of their movement.


aris-dance.com: Were you Ashanti's first choreographer?

Brice Vick: Not necessarily. She has worked with Fatima Robinson and she has also worked with Kishaya Dudley who choreographed the "Happy" video for her. At the time I was working with another recording artist. When Ashanti came up with "Always On Time", which was her first single with Ja Rule, I wasn't one of the main choreographers they picked. They actually went with a lot of renowned choreographers. It wasn't me at first at all. It was when everyone started tarnishing her image saying that she couldn't dance at this scene of the "Happy" video, which I didn't do. Ashanti is an amazing dancer. She is technical, she can turn, she knows how to tap and she knows how to do African and modern dance. She has studied that for all her life.

aris-dance.com: What would be your advice to aspiring choreographers who would like to work one day in the music video industry?

Brice Vick: Watch the people who are around you and never really put all your trust into them because their mission is to conquer and divide. Always stay within the means of your beliefs because people will steal from you and would rob you and they would try to pick something that you love to do and make you hate it, so they can be in your position.
