Let’s diassociate the choreo from the vmas performance for a minute. Who came up with this choreography? Who is she? Gimme more is a really hard to choreograph song because of if electronic up beat but this choreo really fits perfect into the song

Ok so the choreographer is RJ Durrell (he is the guy dancing with Britney in the VMA/stand in dancer in video above). He also choreographed Madonna's Erotica for the Confessions Tour, which is EPIC!!! There is a video somewhere of his submission to Madonna before he was selected, it was actually going to be for Deeper and Deeper instead of Erotica.

Details about him working with Britney to prepare for VMA:

' Britney teamed up with a familiar face for her comeback performance, the very talented RJ Durell, coreographer on Madonna’s Confessions Tour.

RJ’s mother, Lynda Durell, confirmed to the Grand Rapid Press that her 29-year-old son is spending hours with Briteny practicing their routine, which will last about four or five minutes, and said that “it’s a great deal of work, but he’s used to that, and he works well under intense working situations.”

About three months ago, Durell said, RJ and co-choreographer Nick Flores put together a video for Spears using some dancer friends. They knew an opportunity would surface for her to make a comeback. 

“They knew it would come at the right time, and it did, and MTV was very interested,” Durell said. 

Details of Spears’ routine – her first major appearance in three years – are being kept under wraps, Durell said, but she knows RJ will dance onstage next to her. Originally, he was just going to choreograph and direct the routine with Flores, and another dancer was going to share the stage with Spears. But after many rehearsals, Spears wanted to dance with Durell. 

“She just said, ‘I’m just so confident dancing with you, will you do it?’ And he said yes,” Lynda Durell said. “And he is a fabulous partner.”  '

Here is a funny video of him teaching another Madonna choreo:

There you have it folks! Gimme More is my #1 favourite Britney song ever so I know a lot of random factoids about it. Lol.
