While
most Choreographers are
spitting images of one another,
Brice D. Vick courageously
stands alone escorting celebrity
recording artists to their
peak by utilizing a unique
approach to dance that is
unattainable by conformists.
His
electric style is rapidly
becoming the standard for
artists seeking to gain
that critical edge that
will set them aside in an
industry that is flooded
with clones. Brice D. Vick
does not stop at what is
‘hot for the moment.’
Vick is known in the industry
for pushing the envelope
and encouraging artists
to take a chance at being
different. He forges his
clients to not only embrace
what has already been done
but also encourages them
to take their performance
to the next level - - stimulating
audiences with something
refreshingly new, distinctive,
and most of all memorable.
Vick
was discovered by an Italian
visitor while waiting for
his dance class to begin.
The Tourist was on assignment
scouting for a bright, young
talent who could bring life
and motion to a United Colors
of Benetton commercial.
An eager and youthful Vick
stepped up to the challenge--
ending the travelers search.
As a result, Vick went on
set the choreography for
an international ad and
continue on with several
other United Colors of Benetton
presentations.
The
young Choreographer's talent
was soon after recognized
by then “up &
coming” Princess of
Hip Hop, Ashanti. Moving
quickly and with precision,
Vick then choreographed
many of her stage shows;
videos; and television appearances.
His hard work hurdled into
the spotlight after staging
a tantalizing dance number
for Ashanti’s hit
single, “Only You”.
Opting to shock audiences
with a new element to the
show,the two put their heads
together and came up with
hot concepts sans back up
dancers. And no one could
call this dynamic duo one
hit wonders. The two did
it again on a recent episode
of Regis & Kelly—even
inspiring Host Kelly Ripa
to get off her stool and
join in on the fun. The
success of the “Only
You” dance number
caught the eye of some of
the most promising emerging
artists in the industry
including Remy Ma whose
“Conceited”
and “Wuteva”
videos embrace equally delectable
dance combos.
Throughout
his stint as a Dancer and
Choreographer, Vick has
brought his unique dance
approach to an array of
artists including R. Kelly,
Christina Aguilera, Rah
Diggah, Lenny Kravitz, Destiny's
Child, Mobb Deep's Prodigy,
Sticky Fingaz, Lauryn Hill,
The Roots, Lords of the
Underground, Jah Rule and
Bobby Brown.
His
work has traveled to some
of the most recognizable
stages in the nation including
stops at The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno and The Late
Show with David Letterman.
Vick has put his stage direction
prowess to work creating
production numbers for some
of the most celebrated live
stage performances that
have aired on the most prestigious
networks in the nation.
These credits include:
NBC's “Stars On Ice”
featuring Figure Skater
and Olympic Champion Sarah
Hughes;
NBC’s Drama Series,
“Las Vegas”
MTV's 2005 “Celebrity
Basketball Tournament”;
ABC's “American Music
Awards”;
BET’s “106th
and Park”.
Nickelodeon’s “All
That”
Vick’s
hot flashy style has afforded
him the privilege to travel
abroad, not only for choreographic
opportunities but to conduct
master classes at a variety
of venues in South Asia,
South Africa, Germany, Italy,
Rome, and London. His most
recent master classes generated
over $10,000 for the local
Katrina Relief Funds in
Miami and West Palm Beach.
Vick
accredits his versatility
and authentic style to his
dance training at the Bernice
Johnson Dance Studio in
Jamaica Queens, New York,
where he studied Classical
Ballet, Jazz, Modern (Graham/Horton),
traditional West African
and Hip-Hop dance. He was
also blessed with the opportunity
to work with legendary Choreographers
Michael Peters, Shirley
Black Brown, Debbie Allen,
David Robertson, Carla Earle,
George Faison, and Tina
Bush. He furthered his studies
at the Martha Graham School
of Contemporary Dance where
he received a Coca Cola
Scholarship and awarded
the Artistic Excellence
Award over 500 candidates
from around the world. Further
training has also taken
place The Dance Theater
of Harlem and The Alvin
Ailey School of American
Dance.
Vick
is grateful for the opportunities
that have been presented
to him throughout his career
and he is anxious to have
his talent visualized in
Film and on Broadway. Whether
it’s a fashion show,
music video, television
commercial or a live concert,
Vick is up for the challenge.
With his unique approach
and style, it is more than
safe to say that Vick is
a Choreographer to be watched. |
