Get a sneak peak of the new movie “Funkytown”, a disco era movie set in Montreal.  Erik and Melissa Cyr worked with one of the stars, Justin Chatwin, last summer preparing him for his role as disco dancing Tino.  Renowned choreographer and judge of “So You Think You Can Dance”, Jean Marc Genereux was the choreographer for the movie, which was filmed in Canada. With Erik as assistant choreographer/coach and Melissa as rehearsal partner here in LA, Mr. Chatwin was able to learn the dance portion of his role locally before heading to Montreal for the filming.

Although we’d seen pieces of the dance scenes pre-editing, we were thrilled to see glimpses of them packaged together with clips of the movie in the exciting preview.  “Funkytown” will not be released until later this year on December 17, 2010, but seeing the trailer will entice you get to theatre when it does open.  We’ll keep you posted on any further news!
