this is effing rad.
+ what rhymes with rad? “bad” - which is the dance my girl lindsey (dope dancer/choreographer/entrepreneur of ‘jerkin’) taught me today. not the “bad” video, just a killer dance to throw in my pocket.
and the whole time i was dancing i kept having this weird sense of intimidation. corny as it may sound, i didn’t want to let the proclaimed king down. i can say: dancing MJ is definitively more cathartic than just playing or listening to him. having many dj friends, and knowing that people have been playing tribute to him since thursday, i can honestly say that being a dancer, and remembering him through movement is just more stirring.
the man was genius. we can all agree on that. a true artist that blurred and colored the music and dance landscape so effectively that we’re (people who never knew the man) inspired to pay homage, enjoy and share what he gave us.
if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, i can’t WAIT to teach GraceRose how to make copies.
Me and my homegirl Cory Kennedy proving that even hip kids and IT girls love Michael. This was Jeremy Scott and Colette’s Thriller Dance Off at Montmartre last year, where we all learned to dance Thriller then recreated the video.
