Bust a Move: 10 Top Fashion Dance Videos
Apparently it's no longer enough for a model to have the face of an angel and the body of someone who sold their soul to the devil. With Coco Rocha tap dancing in the Fall 2012 campaign for White House Black Market and Heidi Klum working with choreographer Mia Michaels on her upcoming Jordache ad, it's clear that being able to cut a rug is a definite advantage. And because we're suckers for a good booty shake, we've rounded up some of our favorite fashion dance videos—including moves from Kate Moss, Gisele, and more.
Lanvin
Okay, so the moves are a tad Elaine Benes-y, but we still give Karen Elson and Raquel Zimmermann props for breaking it down in Lanvin's Fall 2011 video campaign. And who'd have guessed that Alber Elbaz was such a Pitbull fan?
Longchamp
Every day she's shuffling: For further proof of Coco Rocha's dancing skills, look to Longchamp's Spring 2012 shoot, which sees her making like Gene Kelly with a few jazzy steps and some Rockette-worthy high kicks.
Prada
If Prada's colorful Spring 2011 video didn't make you tap your feet, there's no hope for you. Decked out in Miuccia's bold stripes and Technicolor furs, models Arizona Muse, Kinga Rajzak, Zuzanna Bijoch, Mariacarla Boscono, and Tati Cotliar shimmied and swiveled their hips to the tune of Mirando's "Ratatat."
Ipanema
Trust this Brazilian girl to know the samba. A 2004 commercial for her Ipanema sandal line sees Gisele busting a move in the rain as stadium workers thank their lucky stars.
Victoria's Secret
Moves like Jagger? Um, okay. To promote its 2011 fashion show, Victoria's Secret tapped Angels like Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, and Candice Swanepoel to lip sync and dance to Maroon 5's hit song. We think Adam Levine can rest easy.
Basement
Nobody puts Kate Moss in a corner. The British supermodel showed off her sense of humor—not to mention her mad bunny-hopping skills—with a sultry shimmy in this quirky commercial for Chilean fashion brand Basement. It's like Harvey, only, um, hotter.
Petit Bateau
Before she turned model for J.Crew, shutterbug Garance Doré put on her dancing shoes for this charming Petit Bateau ad. Check out that hip action!
Doutzen Kroes for Love Magazine
Part striptease, part model karaoke, Doutzen Kroes' booty-shaking rendition of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" was a definite highlight of Love's 2011 advent calendar. Festive, no?
Tommy Hilfiger
They may be preppy, but the fictional Hilfigers sure know how to get down. Just take a look at the label's Holiday 2011 "House Par-tay" video, in which the whole family prances about in plaid.
Vogue Paris
Ja-ja-jitterbug! With all due respect to Carine Roitfeld, you never saw her doing tribute music videos to '80s pop classics. Thankfully new editor Emmanuelle Alt made up for lost time with this faithful recreation of Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" featuring backing vocals/moves from models Karmen Pedaru, Kendra Spears, Jasmine Tookes, and Anja Rubik.
