Just as I was to put up another post today (starting to feel better now that mild cold is gone. Been dragging on for weeks, without end!), I bumped into my friend’s link about a dance tribute to Michael Jackson many weeks ago. And I thought myself “Michael Jackson Dance Tribute? What on earth could they be doing to pay tribute to MJ?” So I looked up his link, opened it up….
And here it is.
Apparently, it’s a group of dancers that were secretly practicing the dance moves from one of MJ’s killer Thriller’s singles, where MJ flips right hand outwardly, and then raised left and right arms exchangeably at the same his feet slide side to side. Sure enough the music opening sequence was sure a giveaway, so you wouldn’t need to second guess that it’s Beat It (see video below). According to the video, it took 300 plus dancers less than 30 minutes to learn the moves and prepare the dancing ’stage’ less than one hour! Not bad for that kind of training and choreography. Intensely well-timed! While I was watching it in utter amazement, towards the end of the video (spoiler warning!!) there’s a message saying the dance group encouraged the rest of the world to perform the same.
So I ‘youtubed’ it online further and heres what I uncovered…
Canada…
Taiwan…
Hong Kong…
Russia…
Germany…
UK…
OK! So the last one is out of the theme compared to the rest! But still it is MJ and it’s all about him and this tribute is taking everybody by storm to do everything what they can pay respect for the great legendary music icon of our time.
MJ, though you may have lived your life in what appears to be having gone the ‘wrong direction’, but make no mistake you’re still the man in making the music so memorable and spectacular. You’re just as irreplaceable as Princess Diana (died in a car accident in 1997) who also touched so many people lives and made such an ‘impactful’ difference.
I salute to you, on those grounds.
Rest In Peace.
