Frankie Ray In Miley Cyrus new hit Video and MTV VMAs live performance

MILEY CYRUS " YOUNGER NOW" MUSIC VIDEO AND VMA PERFORMANCE

So for me this was a hard job. I left the Dance business 20 years ago and became an actor. To be honest i just did not like all the bull shit in the dance world.
 this project was with a group of veteran dancers and choreographers that have done everything you have seen in the last 40 years. solid gold  fame, Saturday night fever etc staying alive and every great dancing music vid out there these are the veterans of the dance world.
im a ballroom and latin dance teacher.

I never have been one to pick up combinations quickly I have to take em home do them a thousand times break em down write em out etc to own them .
On this projet there was allot of politics and well ya know. combinations would be taught and changed in moments allot of  cooks in the broth. sometimes it goes that way.
however I stayed the course hoping there would be a place for me to shine. Miley was wonderful. she was kind,giving and amazing. I feel there is an artistic connection there.
she lives close and in the same town so im sure well get the time to hang out not at work.

 Being a musician, dancer ,actor, stuntman Dj, water nut ,surfer kayak er ,im sure there are lots of places we can have common ground.
For ME...... I was not really interested in the music video done a few. but having grown up with MTV watching all these great dancers do there thing  It has always been a dream to dance in the big show with a star at a music awards thing.. So it was great for me to do this. I am 55 now and did not believe I would get the opportunity to do so. Im a character Actor to be blunt I play some very Fucked up people in films.... so we had a good time some struggles,Egos,Frustrations, thought about walking out more than a few times....etc...... but the show went on and i was Honored to be a part of this Change of direction in a  very intelligent ,beautiful young woman's musical career. I must say "great taste in Elvis looking men He he he he she was always there with a hug, a compliment a kiss and a smile.  Thanks For Having me #mileycyrus  #youngernow your Baddie Gang Leader.
