Michael Jackson Dance Tribute



This is the official clip from BOUNCE & Friends. More than 300 dancers met at 1530h, got briefed and then learned the choreography in 30 min. Less then 1 hour later, they were performing to the memorable tune of "Beat it!".

Such was the following of one Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009). He was 50 when he passed away. He was a legend spanning at least 3 generations.

This post is dedicated to my students who loved Michael Jackson.

Message is: Don't wait till your heroes are dead before you show your appreciation! Today is the best day to tell your hero that you love him/her.



One of his songs with heavy environmental overtones was Earth Song. Very good tuning in for a lesson on recycling or environmental conservation.
