Just wanna share this. I watched news last night and this night, and saw this feature about Travis Payne's (Michael Jackson's choreographer) visit here in the Philippines to teach Cebu's dancing inmates (who got popular for dancing "Thriller"; their YouTube video received almost 40,000,000 views) real MJ choreography (They Don't Care About Us). It's gonna be for a major international production, and will be included in the "This is It" DVD which will be released very soon. I'm really happy that they got to meet him.:-)

Yeah, they were really synchronized. It's nice that they get to unite like that for that particular interest.

Me, too! I'm proud of them. Even when they're convicts they prove that they can be disciplined dancers, too!

It's good to hear that lots of people admire the dancing inmates. I'm sure it warms their hearts when people see them dance. I'm looking forward in seeing them dance again with their new coreography. Kudos!

This is indeed a good news for all of the filipinos around the world. Once again our harwork and talent will be recognized globally. I hope it will turn out a good production we can be proud of. I believe in Cebu's dancing inmates perseverance and sacrifices to perform well.
