Jackson's long-time choreographer Travis Payne, with dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid, taught the inmates routines from "This Is It."
It's just how Michael would have wanted it.
WOW that was intense, travis is a genious, is so hard to make people dance and he made lots and lots of people cordinate perfectly, music is a healer, these people are paying for theyre mistakes but make them do this is amazing, its just a help for them, im sure MJ could have love this
Wasn't the original music video for this shot in a prison? I believe there was then a second one shot in Rio.
This is amazing. MJ would LOVE it. :)
Have you ever watched the "Green Mile" if not, you should. The prison in Ohio has a dog training program. Only the prisoner's who obey the rules & stay out of trouble while doing their time can be in this program.
It gives the prisoners a chance to help train unruly dog's so that they can find home's instead of being euthanized, while at the same time its teaching the prisoners how to work together, how to be patience with everyone & all the dog's & they learn to love and feel like they make a difference & get exercise too.
That's what the dancing does also. And in the movie The Green Mile, the guard's treated the prisoner's with respect because it kept the prisoner's calm and they would listen better. Calm prisoner's mean no riot's.
===========================
23. When are we going to start treating criminals like criminals. What the hell, now we are offering them dancing lessons. These are CRIMINALS!!!! They are in jail for PUNISHMENT, NOT DANCING LESSONS!! Michael would NOT like this at all!
Break the law, get thrown in jain and receive dancing lessons. Shame on TMZ for showing this. These individuals are supposed to be punished, not rewarded with dancing lesson. This makes me SICK!!!!

Who else but Michael Jackson could unite an entire prison in such a way? That was a brilliant idea and a fantastic exercise for the inmates on many levels. Thanks for covering this.
I love this so much! You know, some if not most of these men have never been in a unifying group exercise before. Have never memorized before, or learned a dance routine. It must give them amazing hope and something to look forward to each day. Not to mention it has likely taught some of them that they can actually accomplish something!
MJ was/is a GLOBAL HUMANITARIAN!!!!
First of all they are HUMAN BEINGS!!!!!!
Second, this is POSITIVE TO THE WELFARE OF THE PRISIONERS and SOCIETY at large!!!
Check out MJ version

@wil
What? Why people like to see guy's fight more than seeing them dance or kiss ?
Wouldn't you clap if you see them ripping off each other in
prison ?
And hell yes , you are talking American again !
Wake up !
Maybe they should start in American prison's this dance session aswell.then,Crimes that happen in American peison may reduce?
I'm sure MJ would have loved it. I'm so glad the focus is on his music now (well, some media still wanna hang on the lies).
Funny, on TV right now they are talking about the importance of finding the child within you, how that makes you a better and happier person. Michael was childlike but he was mocked for it. Is it good for everyone else only??????? I hope all the world soon will get what an exceptional, loving, caring, perfect person he really was.
WOW
LOVE YOU MORE

LOVE AND MISS MJJ EVERY second
When Michael left us,
on this day, we all fell back
to the lost children we were
before he found us!
Britney Spears might miss a lot more 'X Factor' auditions ... because she can! Simon Cowell gave Brit damn near free reign in order to sign the pop star to that $15 million deal -- but is it backfiring? We'll tell you what peeps on the set are saying.Plus, Chris Jericho's…
