Fame in London

Stars transformed the city of London into downtown Manhattan and recreated the famous street dance sequence from musical "Fame".

Actress Denise Van Outen and comedian Johnny Vegas were backed by over 1,000 dancers and even members of the public were invited to join in on the event which took place in Worship Street, near Liverpool Street station.

The stunt was organised by TV channel Turner Classic Movies as part of its 'Capture Your Classic' campaign, asking members of the public to re-make scenes from their favourite films.

Michael Jackson has inspired a number of people all over the World with his amazing talent and one group in particular are the 1,500 inmates at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in this island province in the Philippines.

The inmates have been famous since their debut video of "Thriller" was released on Youtube in 2007.

Since Jacksons passing the inmates have done a tribute routine that required nine hours of rehearsal, stopping only to eat or when rain started to pour.

Check out both these videos, the inmates have done a great job paying tribute to the "King of Pop".

Dance Fabulous

Dance Fabulous is the creation of Nokia Music, Interscope Records and Dave Stewart.

The idea behind the creation Dance Fabulous is to dance along with music, using the directional arrows on your Nokia phone to create dance moves. There are different locations for you to dance in, which you can only be accessed by unlocking them. This means you have to dance your way through the levels and bust some amazing moves to get to the next stage.
Once you’ve completed a stage, you can move into a more ‘Dance Matt’ style section where you follow pre-set dance moves.

So now you can dance anywhere and at anytime even with your mobile phone.

Michael Jackson Auditions and Rehearsals

This video is an insight into the Auditions and Rehearsals for Michael Jackson's up and coming Tour.

The behind the scenes footage looks intense, but this once in a life time opportunity to be chosen as one of Michael's Back up dancers would definatly be worth the stress.
