"It was an epic night as Dancers Alliance and SAG-AFTRA celebrated the signing of the music video contract for dancers and record companies held at the Boulevard 3 in Hollywood, CA on Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Along with the celebration, the event presented various music videos they thought were epic. Britney Spears' "Slave 4 U" was one of them. As the video played on the big screen the original Slave 4 U music video dancers also performed practically all the exact moves on the video. The cast of dancers were lead by Brian Friedman and Andre Fuentes."
