NOW INTERVIEW: Christian Vincent

From his role on Logo's hit series Noah's Arc to his time dancing for Madonna on her Drowned World Tour, Christian Vincent seems to make sure he is the best at everything he does. Now a contestant on the Canadian reality show Canada Sings, NewNowNext took some time to catch up with Christian.

Can you talk about when you first wanted to be a dancer? When you first realized you had a unique ability?

Music has always inspired me to move. Movement is my natural response to music. My mom said that when I was 3 she took me took an Earth, Wind And Fire concert and I danced in the aisle the entire time as she and my aunt just laughed. I always liked watching music videos as a kid. I decided after attending a dance convention at the age of 12 that I wanted to be a dancer. It was so clear to me then, being a dancer was what I was going to be.

What was your earliest childhood dream and goal?

As a teenager my goal was to move to Los Angeles and dance for artists like Janet Jackson, Madonna, Prince and Paula Abdul. I was so mesmerized by dancers in videos and award shows that doing...

Christian shares tips for choreographing a career in dance on Backstage

Born and raised in Ontario, Christian Vincent was introduced to the commercial dance industry as a kid attending dance conventions across the border in Detroit. After graduating cum laude with a BFA in dance from Indianapolis' Butler University, he moved to Los Angeles, where he has been making a living as a dancer for 10 years: as a backup in music videos and on tour with major artists like Madonna and Gloria Estefan, as well as in films (Miss Congeniality II) and on television (Smallville, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, American Idol, Dancing With the Stars). He also had featured roles in the straight-to-DVD movies Center Stage: Turn It Up and Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom.

Home is where the heart is for Christian Vincent, who has danced on the world's stages for the likes of Madonna and Prince.

The Windsor native will be back in familiar surroundings, this Weekend, when he arrives in suburban Detroit with the Los Angeles-based competitive dance company LA Dance Magic.

As a judge and instructor, Vincent is an inspiration to the next generation of dancers, just as he himself was inspired, as a young dancer in Detroit.

"I was taken to conventions just like this one and that's where the bug bit me to do this professionally," said Vincent from his Los Angeles home this week.

While he's in Detroit, he'll connect with his family from LaSalle, who remain a central part of his life despite a soaring professional career that has led to acting parts in movies and TV.

"I've been told, that I have become something of a mentor to young dancers," shares Vincent. "I was in their shoes only a few short years ago.

" Vincent studied with Nancy Pattison, Madelyn Weingarden and Holly Cooper locally before attending Michigan's Lascu School of Ballet and, eventually, Butler University in Indianapolis, where he majored in dance and graduated cum laude.

But it was his numerous appearances on tour with the likes of Prince, Madonna, Britney Spears and Gloria Estefan that made Christian Vincent a household name in the highly competitive dance community in Los Angeles.

Now, a resident of Cal ifornia, Vincent has traveled around the world as a professional dancer, teacher, choreographer and, lately, actor.

On screen, he was one of the leads in the groundbreaking series NOAH'S ARC, on LOGO. The series, which explores the friendship of four best friends, recently earned two (3) NAACP IMAGE nominations. The film version, NOAH'S ARC: JUMPING THE BROOM is now available on DVD in Canada and the U.S.

"The fan base for the film, Noah's Arc: Jumping The Broom, has the same momentum that made ‘Sex in the City',such a global success," Vincent said. Already at work, in Los Angeles, Vincent has started work on choreographing a new show, ALLURE, which will make stops all across the U.S. When asked to dance at the 2009 Academy Awards, Christian turned it down. Why? He is committed to the students and his duties with LA Dance Magic.

Now that is a dancer.
