Coco Rocha

I just discovered her blog on her website, and I love it!

Wish she'd post there more often though.. but I understand she probably barely has time
 
That clip was such a delight. Many thanks, pinkcouture. :flower:
I always liked Coco before, but after watching the clip, I think Coco might be the sweetest, nicest, most adorable model extant, and for that I love her even more. :heart::blush:
 
I hope this wasn't posted. :) From WWD.com:

WWDSCOOP: Runway Renegades

Occasionally, a model’s hidden talent and fashion converge. A case in point: Coco Rocha, an expert at Highland dancing, got to kick up her heels to show off Jean Paul Gaultier’s Scottish-themed fall finery. But it wasn’t just a show-off display. “I’m setting up a charity to help underprivileged kids get to dance,” Rocha says. “Dancing is such a buzz, I’d love for others to be able to share that,” she notes, adding that the still-unnamed charity will be based in Canada and possibly the United States.

“I loved dancing at the Jean Paul Gaultier show. It was something out of the ordinary. I was so nervous....Usually, I would dance in front of people who don’t know who I am, but this time, if I messed up, everyone knew who I was. But it all went amazing.”

Rocha was bitten by the dancing bug long before the runway beckoned. “I started Irish dancing at a very young age,” she says, “as I was taking acting and singing lessons, but I didn’t like the teacher. She scared me! My mom then told me, ‘Well, we’re not going to waste the money that I’ve spent on this class,’ so she told me to pick another class from the school. At the time, Riverdance was a big show, so I picked the Irish dance class, and 11 years later, I’m still dancing.

“I would practice in a class three times a week and another hour a day on my own. Our troop, Eire Born, did many shows, from dancing for the Queen of England when she visited Vancouver, to dancing in Switzerland for Expo in 2002. So you could say we were professionals—I like to say I did it just for fun. I love all types of dance, especially the ones that we don’t see so often,” she adds. “From ballroom dancing, to belly dancing, to even ice skating, if you would call that dancing—I do.”
 
Thanks for that article Seanutbutter! I love it.
I love dancing and I think its wonderful that Coco has so much passion for it and wants to help others get a chance to experience dance.
 
You're welcome for the article. :flower: I think it's great that modeling isn't her sole passion - she's certainly unique among other models!
 
For all of you who love Coco as much as do.:heart:
