Got To Dance?

Got To DanceEarlier this year, thousands of dancers auditioned to take part in Sky1 HD’s brand new dance contest GOT TO DANCE.

Edinburgh, Manchester and London played host to the giant Dance Dome where hopefuls came to strut their funky stuff in front of an expert dance panel consisting of Diversity lead choreographer Ashley Banjo, Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, and Coyote Ugly and West End star Adam Garcia. Host Davina McCall was on hand to congratulate or comfort those who managed or failed to make the grade.

Davina commented: “I’ve always been into dancing, I love watching amazing dancers of any sort and through this programme I’ve found an even deeper respect for dance!”

GOT TO DANCE, launching early January on Sky1 HD and Sky1, begins with three rounds of action-packed audition shows, charting the judges’ tour of the UK to unearth the most exciting, undiscovered raw dance talent the country has to offer.

World Aids Day? Eeek!

British designer Giles DeaconOn World AIDS Day, British designer Giles Deacon is urging the public to get talking about HIV and AIDS issues. Deacon has lent his popular Eeek design to the charity’s campaign t-shirt which he has dressed in spikes in an abstract reference to ‘protection’.

Deacon, alongside a host of celebrities, is supporting Crusaid’s THINK. TALK. ACT. GIVE! campaign which is aimed at raising vital awareness of HIV and AIDS issues. All money raised from the sale of the t-shirt will go towards Crusaid’s work supporting adults and children affected by HIV and AIDS living in poverty. T-shirts are currently being sold in Selfridges, Prowler and at www.thinktalkactgive.org

HIV and AIDS issues are close to his heart and by loaning the charity his exclusively designed collection mascot, Eeek, Deacon hopes that his work arouses much needed discussion about HIV and AIDS issues and raises as much money as possible.

Dochev told of how he regrets that he didn’t try to wake the Gately, who was asleep on the living room couch with partner Andy Cowles.

He is quoted as saying “I got up and looked into the living room and saw Stephen and Andy still lying there and I just thought, 'it's not my house, I can't answer the door'. I don't know if Stephen was already dead. Of course I think about what might have happened if I had tried to wake them."
