The Australian Ballet graduate and professional dancer appears alongside international performer Paula Abdul in a music video promoting cosmetics brand Avon and breast cancer awareness.

Mr McAliece was in Los Angeles taking dance classes when he found out about the opportunity to be involved in the video.

"I was brought in to shoot two scenes, focused very closely around Paula," Mr McAliece said.

"Immediately I said yes to be a part of something so important and a very special cause."

Abdul is a global ambassador for breast cancer awareness.

"In this day and age I think everyone knows at least one person affected by this type of cancer, if not more, and to be a part of this campaign is a real honour," Mr McAliece said.

The video promotes a message of empowerment with the lyrics discussing the importance of checking for signs of breast cancer.

"Be strong and beautiful, check yourself to protect yourself," Abdul sings.

Abdul appears alongside her sister Wendy, a breast cancer survivor.

"Paula and Avon worked together to bring a catchy music video to create buzz and awareness to this issue," Mr McAliece said.

"Paula was personally affected by this issue when her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer."

Wendy was given the all clear in 2000.

Shooting the video was a whirlwind and included intense rehearsals.

"We rehearsed overnight at Paula's house while she organised everything for the next day," Mr McAliece said.

"Filming took place the next day from 9am to 7pm.

"The day was long with a lot of sitting around, waiting for my scenes to be shot and there were many reshoots to perfect what Paula wanted to present."

While Mr McAliece is making a name for himself across the world, he has not forgotten his roots.

"I hope I can be someone Leeton is proud of calling their own," he said.
