Welcome To DanceforMichaelJackson Fan Page -- Introduce yourself!!

Hi, I'm Cole and I've been a Michael Jackson fan for about 30 years. I would like to welcome all of Michael Jackson's Fans. Feel free to briefly introduce yourself.

As far as what I do other than working a regular full-time job, I spend countless hours studying dance moves and perform choreography moves almost on a daily basis. It is most unlikely for me to take a full day off. In my opinion, it is much more challenging and somewhat forces me to go beyond what is considered easy. First of all, I would like to mention that I am not a professional dancer or choreographer. Neither do I pretend to be. I simply like to dance for the fun of it and I spend a lot of time doing so, I truly believe that detail is what makes dance performances at their best. Since the late Fall of 1982, I have been a very big Michael Jackson fan. For someone to say that they really know me is so far fetched. Will I ever dance like Michael? I seriously doubt it. He had an astounding amount of talent and energy. I do not believe that I could ever be as good of a dancer as he was. What I try to do overall as far as making videos and tutorials is to simplify dance moves so that hopefully everyone can learn them.

In the very early 80's, I recall that my brothers and I listened to Casey Casem's top 100 songs every Saturday. (And we tried our best to listen to every single one!!) My youngest brother really liked such a wide variety of music like: AC DC, MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Lionel Richie, Prince, Cindy Lauper...so many others as well. I also liked a variety of Country Music For a while, my brother drove me nutts!! because our bedroom was built in an upstairs part of the house and we had like a wall or something dividing us so as that I had one side and he had the other. I remember all of the time yelling at my youngest brother to turn the music down. It wasn't ever loud enough to disturb our parents but it was just loud enough to often irritate me. I remember one day after the "Thriller" album came out when my brother kept playing the cassette tape over and over and over. "Billie Jean, Beat It and Thriller" . He kept saying, "Come here and listen to this!! Come here, man!! listen to this!!" After that went on for a little while I just wanted him to turn it down...'cause he was driving me CRAZY!!. I finally just sat and listened. Within a few minutes, he had me not wanting to give it back!! We never really got money very often but just as soon as I could, I went out and bought my own tape. At that point my whole life changed and I loved it so very much. Growing up, I had to deal with racial remarks and racism and all. I've always stood behind what I believed. As funny as it seems, Michael Jackson was and never has been a black artist...he's just Michael Jackson. Even more when I read certain books about his life, or maybe see something about him, I feel as though we had so much in common....he knew me too well it seems about so many things.
When the "Thriller" video first came on MTV...it was real late at night (maybe around midnight, for us that was late) My youngest brother told me that it was coming on and I told him to wake me up. We were not supposed to be up watching TV to begin with so we were careful not to get caught! When it came on, my brother tried to wake me up...it didn't work!! I missed it!!! I almost got mad at him the next morning but he told me that he tried and I was saying that, "I was going to get him" if he woke me up.
