Last night! TVMOVES 2! A sold out evening of dance for the Academy of Arts and Sciences held at The Wadsworth Theater in LA. Performances from SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, AMERICA'S BEST DANCE CREW, DANCING WITH THE STARS and SUPERSTARS OF DANCE were all performed live on stage as guest speakers Nigel Lythgoe, Debbie Allen, Shane Sparks and others discussed the impact of dance on television and the growing awareness of the art form around the world! It was very cool seeing the incredible variety of styles together at one venue; The Strikers from ABDC, contemporary duets from SYTYCD by Mandy Moore (love that table piece), the great Indian dance solo from SuperStars, a Michael Jackson tribute by Debbie Allen's Dance Academy, and so many others. Yours truly, The GROOVALOOS were asked to close out the evening with one of our performances from SuperStars of Dance! We chose the first crazy hospital number and had a total blast putting that piece up again and wrapping up a great night.

My trip to Neverland

Pop 'N' Taco left of Michael Jackson in Smooth Criminal video.

Pop 'N' Taco left of Michael Jackson in Smooth Criminal video.

I first met Michael back when I was around 12 years old. The entire Jackson crew spent a few precious minutes with me and my family after a fantastic show in Vegas that is still etched on my mind ("Dancing Machine!", oh-my-goodness!). It was the first time our family saw other people wear full sweat suits like normal clothes. Funny how I remember that, it seemed so weird at the time. (LOL).

l went to Michael's concerts as I grew up. I remember the BAD tour with that ridiculously enormous mind-blowing lighted screen! First you heard thunderous footsteps, then you saw these GIANT feet walk out, do the backslide, spin, and rise up on their toes as lights exploded everywhere! Then, there he was alone, doing his thing. Just awesome. And of course I fondly recall our family and friends gathered around the TV watching The Motown 25th Anniversary Special where, after rocking with his brothers, Michael did the solo performance of a lifetime that launched him into the stratosphere, backsliding himself into history. (Whoa! - just got chills:)
