Albany State Passionettes and Alabama State Stingettes to appear in Robin Thicke music video

Atlanta, Georgia   — When Robin Thicke visualized the concept of his “Give It 2 U” video, his wife, actress Paula Patton, came up with the idea to include Historically Black College or University (HBCU) Dance teams. The uniqueness of HBCU dance teams is not easily duplicated; it can only be obtained by performing at an HBCU school.

 

As a result, artists and production companies are hiring actual HBCU dancers for their live performances, videos and movies. Robin Thicke can now be added to the list of artists who have done so, which includes superstars like Madonna.

The video production company, Black Dog Films, sought assistance from HBCU Dance Corporation to find the teams and seal the deal. HBCU Dance, founded by Keelia L. Brown and Sharmekia Brooks, is a non-profit organization that assists and teaches collegiate level dancers, as well as high school dancers, who desire to dance at a Historically Black College or University through dance training camps, scholarships, team sponsorships, audition assistance and more.

 

However, it was HBCU Dance’s connection services and knowledge of the HBCU dance community that made them a great fit for identifying and selecting two teams for the shoot.

 

The video is expected to debut later this month.
