The Filipino “Dancing Inmates” from Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) were visited by Michael Jackson’s long-time choreographer Travis Payne and dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid to learn performances from THIS IS IT. They created a viral video used to promote the DVD release of Michael Jackson’s This Is It. You’ve probably seen the orange clad inmates are best known for is the recreation of Michael Jackson’s Thriller on prison grounds. (The also did a Michael Jackson tribute last year.) In the promo video, the inmates wear the a black “This Is It” T-shirt, but their pants are still orange. Sony is taking a big risk with this promotional concept.
You can pick up This Is It on Amazon.
