THE DANCE by Vanity Fair
Between Maria (Camilla Belle, far left) and Tony (Ben Barnes, far right, also known as Prince Caspian), it is dancing, dancing, dancing. Latin steps predominate on the left, as the Sharks and their ladies give America a taste of the culture to come. On the right, we have a series of funky Anglo moves, as the Jets and their gals go rhythmically at it. On either side, our two tragic protagonists have eyes only for each other. The lead Sharks dancers are Anita (J.Lo, in an incredible pose) and Bernardo (Rodrigo Santoro). The Jet girl dancing with Riff (Chris Evans) is played by Ashley Tisdale (of High School Musical fame). Rounding out the Sharks, left to right: Minka Kelly (she’s Lyla on Friday Night Lights), Jay Hernandez, Natalie Martinez (Death Race), Brandon T. Jackson, Melonie Diaz (A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints). On the Jets’ side: Sean Faris (Never Back Down), Shane Lynch (she’s gonna be big), Robert Pattinson, Cam Gigandet, Trilby Glover (88 Minutes), Brittany Snow (Hairspray), Drake Bell.
Robert Pattinson is joined by Twilight co-star Cam Gigandet in another historic iconic picture from Vanity Fair, this time depicting the classic mambo scene from the Tony award winning musical West Side Story.
Rob’s good friend Camilla Belle plays Maria, while fiery Jennifer “J Lo” Lopez heats up as the passionate Anita (bent over backwards on the left).
Since Rob is identified as a Jet, that means he’s on the right half of the photograph. I’m guessing he’s the dude with his arms up and sporting a James Dean coif. I’m not sure where Cam is. Please guess as well.
(For a bigger version of this picture, please visit Vanity Fair.)
And, although Rob’s face cannot be seen in this Vanity Fair image, we applaud his daring to try out some cool Jet dance moves, which includes pointing his toes like a ballerina while suspended in the air. His Barnes Theatre Company days of doing amateur theatre should come in handy now.
Congrats to Rob’s team for setting this up! Nice one guys!

Ok, this Camilla is really starting to get on my nerves .. Am I dreaming or is she trying on every hot guy within a 500 mile radius?? Even if it’s just a photoshoot… Ben Barnes?! Next to Rob, he’s my favorite young Brit actor!
