What happened after this video? check this link: • Michael Jackson - Blac...
I wanted to create a project that would bring people together and deliver the message of the importance in having a versatile and open mindset. We should really all try to stay versatile and support each other. Let's appreciate how different we all are and grow together. Learning from each other's gifts and differences. It's not about what style you do. It's about the love for dance that we all share. I wanna give a massive thanks to all the people involved that took time out of there schedule to help deliver the message. The amount of talent in this video is beyond any of my expectations and I feel very honored. Enjoy.

[@bokey777]

I have to make a confession- at the time this video came out, I was clinically depressed- not to the point of suicide, but I felt empty all the time and my antidepressant wasn't working (in fact, my therapy started showing more and more side effects). At just 30 years old, which at the time felt like 60, I felt like every single potential I had in life was wasted and my life would just be a flat line till I eventually die. And, I used to be good at so many thins (this is not bragging, I really gave my all to everything I did, starting from a very young age). Dancing was one of those things... Now, I was never this good, but I was told many times I had potential to be very good. I choose a career path in science, and though I really loved it, and for some time I was good at it, I made a couple of bad choices that cost me a self belief and I just imploded... As for dancing- it had been years since I tried to pull off some moves, even in the safety of my room. When I first saw this video... I couldn't cry, because my meds didn't really allow me to, but my heart swelled. At the same time, I felt inspired, I was moved, I remembered that life was supposed to be fun, and most of all, I remembered just how much I loved dancing... Just how good a well executed routine can make you feel, like you become one with the beat and the rhythm is the only thing that matters. Perhaps it was a long time coming, but I credit this video as one of the things that sparked the change in me. I still have my ups and downs, I still doubt myself more than I should, I still have occasional flat periods- but whenever I watch this video, I get that same feeling I had when I watched it the first time (minus antidepressants, that's gone now), and it helps me change the perspective and refocus. I could've made a simple thank you comment, but then you wouldn't know just how much the things that you do can mean to someone who lives worlds away. This might sound a bit dramatic, but I hope you find it honest and sincere. I'd be forever grateful. :)

[@alfredconqueror4422]

and then what? your story ends with " I really gave my all to everything I did,"

[@bokey777]

Hi. I am sorry for nor responding earlier (I hope it's better late then never). I am not sure I understand what you mean by my story ending with " I really gave my all to everything I did,". I wrore 4 more paragraphs in that comment, so I am not sure if you can't see them, or I am missing the point of your question- English is not my native language, and sometimes it shows, despite my efforts to master it.

[@alfredconqueror4422]

bokey777 now i can see the rest of your story maybe it was y potato phone that didnt load the rest of your post. now that i read all im happy you and keep that positive attitude, good luck with everything you in the future! greetings from mexico

[@bokey777]

WOW. The choreographer, camera man, dancers n editors destroyed this video!

[@saraswain1380]

🤔 Why does the choreography of the male dancers look so much smoother and planned out than the ladies? 😖 It was so irritating watching the women dance.

[@mazzyhammoud]

This is one video you can never get bored of watching!!! Love it.

[@Conceptcreator]

best part for me is from 1:40 to 2:22 Love the difference between some slower parts and then quick powerful movements!

This choreography by far is my dancing style, a credit to my absolute favourite dance music artist by Janet Jackson. From 1:00 minute to 1:30 is absolute THE best choreography and the way those 3 guys dance are ON....POINT!! From one dancer to another.... no other words ❤️

[@yoosunny5697]

Vengo aquí por TaeYang de SF9 y definitivamente lo hace PERFECTO. Al ser uno solo el principal que está en todas las escenas (excepto en una) y hace toda la coreografía. Lo admiro y lo adoro ❤ The King 👑 Sunshine 🌞

After seeing Tobias and EZtwins, I can't get enough of his dancing! This is fun, fresh, creative and uncomplicated. I love the passersby who should have stopped and appreciated what's happening around them. Missy Elliott is so singular even with all the female rappers today. Janet still sounds like Michael.

[@iamtheuse6321]

I am almost 60 now I can't believe that the Jackson 5 has morphed through to this, from a family in Indiana over fifty years ago that you get something fresh all the time. that people can build and layer continually until it becomes something new and beautiful. I love the song and the choreography and dancers.... it just makes me happy all over. There is an old saying that “youth is wasted on the young” it couldn't be more wrong. The young people of today are fucking awesome!!!!
