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.

[@eliasringquist]

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

[@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. 😊

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@elizabethbarnette2813]

This man is amazing..the God of dance

[@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

[@itssoph99]

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

[@Afterlord2]

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

[@trollface1188]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@Febstah613]

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

[@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.

[@steffanyfarro2005]

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

[@jupitersmalls1507]

I’m astonished!

[@chelle315]

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

[@yvonnelopezcarrio1878]

Oh the guy from the Philipines prison video....

[@tron7_]

mainly because it's michael's choreographer

[@MTHLDMTHLD]

he's best choreographer

[@matsuboi9517]

Wait what?

[@comradecatbug5289]

You mean the one in They Don't Care About Us?

[@alexandra3h]

Excellent! would be much appreciated if you make other videos of other choreographies. Thanks Much.

[@platermanone]

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

[@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....

[@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

[@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

[@DaisyDish]

[@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.

[@JohnEnglehorn]

[@Director84]

@perfecttrunks2000 The latter, or more precise: a drill-modified medley of various MJ-dances. It was intended to be a part of his "This is it"-Tour, as an introducion to a "chapter" in it.

[@judithmaryhill4862]

WOW! Great moves. A joy to watch even in 2020 😍😍😍

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

[@clubersmj]

it s my favourite choreography from this is it!!!!!it s great!!!

[@wowwnc]

@ukpkmkk, yes + Travis started out as one of Michael's dancers years ago, so you can also see him in old tour performances on youtube too.

[@alesmooth]

Oh my God ...Finally i learned the whole coreography!! Thanks Travis !!....

[@TheSkouge]

I have the same pants as him, THEY ARE AMAZINGLY COMFORTABLE. Also Through lotsa practice i think i've learned this.

[@TheJulianarodrigues]

It's one my fav parts in the movie!!!! FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

[@manoloc95castillo20]

TRAVIS ES LO MAXIMO EL MEJOR

[@DarkChild05]

Hey Travis show us more MJ dances. I love to learn more. I already know how to do Thriller but I want to learn more of MJ's dances. PLZ =)

[@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.

[@id2801]

Love you Payne⭐️❤️

[@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 :-)

[@riantorres]

I can't believe I use to be able to dance to this. Now I have to learn it all over again lol

[@AllThingsRen]

Omg, this is my favorite dance from This Is It. I'm in my room right now jamming out this. haha

[@TheRedGynger]

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

[@dileedavis]

Travis is the best !!!!!

[@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.

[@LeaJo100]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!! Please be my teacher too!!!

[@banderfd2542]

We love Michael Jackson his the king of pop

[@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!

[@Rodney10106]

This Is Awesome Man I Love It

[@MrGitanoBoy]

J'adore! The pop music is the best for me, it gives me strength, courage and rage! I will learn this dance!

Thank you so much Travis! You tought me the Drill perfectly!!

[@AjnaMJ]

Perfect! 🔥❤️ Love it! 😍

[@LilianNeves7]

I always wanted to learn this choreography, I remember watching This Is It and trying to dance like Michael Jackson and the dancers lol it's so hard but I'll learn it one way or another. 😅

[@longbeachlt]

Cant wait to get my THIS IS IT DVD!

[@amrita277]

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

[@sherreewilson925]

I’ve got osteoarthritis and 71 but would love to learn this.🌹

[@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

[@sashathepanda8432]

@Anthony thats great! Im very happy for you!

[@itsjustme0123]

PLEASE don't remove this! I'm just now learning it. I've been working on it on and off for two days and I'm only through the first 30 seconds (20 seconds with music). It's soo much fun though!

[@bryantaa]

I'm so mad I missed the event. Either way, I'll still do the dance. It gets me SO HYPED!

[@krakenman86]

quanto mi diverto fare questa stupenda coreografia del nostro caro MJ!!!!

[@111FAS]

ok now, I'm into learning this and mastering it, not like Michael, but I'll try my hardest at it! MJJforever

[@katarinasouz]

Muito incrível essa coreografia, fiquei muito encantada.. Não sabia da existência de The Drill até q lançam This Is It... ameei!! amo q amo.

[@shfonic]

This routine would make a great fitness video! Awesome

[@sk20009]

that was so nice of you travis to keep his legacy

[@Piggz93]

I love it. I am trying to learn the dance. I got it most of the way down already. Its not that hard.

[@Manne18]

Good bless you Travis !!
