Vincent also worked with Madonna choreographing her iconic music videos for ‘Express Yourself’ and ‘Vogue’. Who doesn’t know Madonna’s famous vogue pose right?

Vincent is such a mega silent giant that it was impossible for me to ask him everything in our hour long interview so I decided to focus the direction of the interview on Vincent’s life and experience working with Michael Jackson. I hope to one day bring you in a part 2 but I am sure you’re going to enjoy this special episode.

in this interview Vincent Paterson goes in-depth about his childhood outside of Philadelphia, how he got into dance, working as an assistant to Michael Peters who choreographed Thriller and Beat It music videos, how he then became MJ's lead choreographer and a whole lot more.
