Michael Jackson's Drill Dance Instructional Video with Associate Director/Choreographer Travis Payne

[@laurad1873]

i love the drill 😍and travis payne is such a good teacher😊

[@unknownx7252]

reit.lover.TV yep, went to Northside high with him, Atlanta's school of performing arts and he did choreography for the great MJ, that's wonderful.

[@aqua4497]

Thank you Travis. This is exactly how and why Michael was in class of his own. This brings tears for me because I imagine you working and rehearsing with Michael. You supported and loved him to the end. You dreamed his dream, and it's clear your bond gave him strength even when feeling unwell. What a void!

[@sanantoniomimi]

Travis Rocks! . . . TRAVIS, YOU ARE AMAZING! THANKS FOR KEEPIN 'IT ALIVE FOR MICHAEL! . . . LONG LIVE THE KING! . . .

[@eliasringquist]

Simply amazing. Had tickets to the third O2 arena concert.. this would have been off every hook! 👏🏻 Travis and MJ - such talent!

[@easeofdisease]

the guy who he's teaching to dance is amazing, he's matching the instructor's moves perfectly. he looks alot like him too

[@ChoMaTeYo354]

We will dance this tomorrow in our school festival.

[@ChoisChoice-y7p]

How was it? I am pretty sure that it's become one of your best memory. 😊

[@elizabethbarnette2813]

This man is amazing..the God of dance

[@msharper81]

Now this is real choreography!

[@SYisTheBest]

It's great that you have the mirror and the shooting angle. We can really see the breakdowns of movements very clear! Great job!

[@mochi1027]

I'm so glad this is posted. I loved the way Michael did it. What impressed me the most was that Michael was 50 and could still dance this routine just as good as his 20 something year old dancers.

[@bleepblob6029]

When he says he’s Michael Jackson’s choreographer what he really means is: Michael teaches him the dances and travis teaches the dancers.

[@igorsxsocks1711]

No...not really actually they brain storm TOGETHER

[@trollface1188]

bro u so pro at dancing this that it took the whole class 3 days to learn all of the moves

[@Afterlord2]

Buff black guy dancing in a mirror like a mad man, I love this. Simply brilliant in all ways

[@jupitersmalls1507]

I’m astonished!

[@amaiemmanuelevnaegbune4163]

Travis, you are awesome! I pray for you always! Thank you so much for all of Michael’s dance moves! The King is still coming back in our days.

[@snaccsize]

3:42 was always my favorite part haha! I used to practice this all the time back in the day lol

[@phoebesmith9089]

awesome... I wish after MJs death we could have heard from the dancers and crew that were behind the scenes of "This is it." I felt badly for the people who worked so closely with MJ on his last tour makings and wondered how they were after his death. Talk about a personal and career whammy all at once. I hope they are all doing ok.

[@elizabethbarnette2813]

Michael Jackson will be so missed. We lost a lot when we lost him

[@tron7_]

we did. there's videos about the dancers & vocalists.

Such a genius! It took me forever to learn it 😂👏🏻

[@steffanyfarro2005]

This is soo coool!!, thank you so much Travis Payne (:

[@TheJSTAR13]

Since I saw the movie I wanted to dance this Drill, and now I can do it! And "sejbolary", you are right, I sweat rivers when I dance it! Thanks Travis Payne and Michael Jackson, thank you for this great choreography!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CP1982Jackson]

I have actually learned this Drill, but it has taken a while I will say, and a lot of practice. Thanks Travis, because of your influence among others...I can now accomplish things that I had only once dreamed of doing. For those of you whom have actually watched this (maybe about 100 times more or less) have you noticed that there is a ton of detail in this? I think it is just amazing as to how someone could actually come up with these ideas. Thanks again Travis... Cole Porter

[@fridaynghts]

Brilliant! You put the Payne in choreography! Thank you SPHE for making this available!

[@Febstah613]

shit I need 2 hours of watching this over and over again to learn this

[@CP1982Jackson]

Thank you so much Travis for this Instructional Video. After alot of practice I finally learned it. Thank you for all of the hard work and dedication through the years. Michael has alot of people who truly love him.

[@chelle315]

This reminds me of when everybody learned the "Thriller" dance.

[@Idontknowho.]

that wa bloody AMAZING! my faverate part in the film

[@mmv242623]

Michael made it look sooo easy. He is THE BEST!!!!

[@chelle315]

These dancers and MJ are in hella good shape, I can't believe he used to do this for 2 hours straight when he toured. Absolutely amazing....and yes, I'm in the mirror too. We should upload ourselves and make it viral...lol

[@DarkChild05]

WOW!!! Awesome. I can't wait to get started. I have to practice when I get out of classes. I looked easy at 1st.....then, it looks like it gets pretty hard, but i'm sure I will get it if I work hard at it. I love to dance and learn new dances. This is going to be so much FUN. And I can't wait til I get the movie. WOOHOO.

[@MJJs4evurPYT]

I don't understand how this would get thumbs down? This is a genius routine! I'm learning it, myself.... but I just don't understand how people don't like it....

[@platermanone]

It's painful watching Travis play Michael promoting the movie but i thank him for this video. It's fantastic!

[@littlegoldensnook]

fuck yeah can’t have a mj youtube marathon without this. killa

[@mrsmjackson1]

Wow, this is impressive. Makes me realize even more how sharp Michael must have been to learn this routine. eeks. So tricky. Beautiful man too. So glad Michael had him for support.

[@JohnEnglehorn]

Wow I just literally learned something new today

[@babihogue]

I love this routine ,Travis is amazing dancer & choreographer.Miclael jackson is alive Babi

[@veroronnieronron]

[@juliavidente]

Simplismente perfeito, amo a dança e adoro o Street Dance principalmente quando se traga de Michael Jackson, Parabéns você é perfeito !!!!

[@Mortthemoose]

Wow! That was amazing! In another life, i would be a dancer! I did ballroom and Latin many years ago, but then became very ill with ME, so had to give up my beloved dance lessons. Keep Michael's dancing alive...it inspires and amazes everyone :-)

[@xjumpxdancex]

[@Tristania6]

Oh my... This is harder than I thought ! But Travis Payne is very good choreographer and I understood easily. ♥ that !

[@Elin48]

Amazing...Excellent...Absolutely Incredible, but I'd never be able to do it. I have two left feet, and can never remember the exercise routines in the aerobics classes at the YMCA. I will forever admire those who have this ability.

[@Kimmis1990]

thanks for uploading this. MJ fans owe u one...:)

[@TheJulianarodrigues]

[@rosecerione]

I loved the choreography, you are wonderful and very successful for you ROSELI.

[@riantorres]

Wonderful teacher and person. Good luck with your career. I wish you were my dance teacher too!

[@folafiyin]

MJ lives on. miss u so much

[@rhinestonegirl1]

My goal today is to learn the drill. It's taken me a good 45 minutes just to learn the first 3 mins! Yep! It's going to be a long long day!

[@TheRedGynger]

he is such a bad ass. Sick song, Sick coreography

[@mjsimona]

adorooo qeusto balletto... poi quando lo faceva michael, fantastico, lo scatto che ha con il braccio destro.. uuuh bellissimo, poi anche le smorfie che faceva... dolce angelo ci manchi.... cmq grazie coreografo di michaellll!!

[@amrita277]

u have said it all wat i was about to comment we miss him so much

[@osutuba]

That ... was awesome. I'm not much of a dancer, but that actually looks simple enough. The catch is all the off-beat hits. I may have to try to learn this over the next week or so and get my 300+ lb. body jamming out to it LOL You are greatly missed, MJ.

[@longbeachlt]

Cant wait to get my THIS IS IT DVD!

[@aviv1403]

thank you Mr.payne.i admire your work with michael past threw the years.. god bless you travis for continueing MJ legacy i wish we could dance together..maybe if you will visit israel..i'll B glad to..

[@alix2081]

SUPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR im going to learn this! thank you!!!!!!! great idea!

[@oberkin]

yeah!, this is cool, cause most of the teachers, do it facing the camera, and most of people tend to copy in a mirror way (so instead of moving his left hand move the right). I can "unmirror" it so i can learn the dance as it is intended to be danced, but this guy makes it so much easier cause you can see the back, the front and you just have to copy it

[@machinecrasher]

i will learn this , no matter what.. this man is sharing this , n we are in deep shit ,if we don't learn it..

[@alexandria62753]

OH TRAVIS YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!KEEP IT UP GUY AND BY THE WAY I WANNA TRY THIS ALONE! ITS COOL!!!!You mus tbe missing Michael too! I bet!!!!Thanks for this video sony!!!!
