Pure Awesomeness: Stockholm’s Dance Tribute to MJ
Posted by Sammy Holt on September 9th, 2009After Michael Jackson abruptly passed away this summer, millions of people spoke out in memory of one of history’s most incredible song artists and performers. In honor of the late MJ’s recent birthday on August 29, I’d like to share with you one of the coolest ‘memorials’ that I’ve come across… (Thanks Dee for the tip)!
On July 8th, people in Stockholm paid their tribute to the King of Pop in their own unique - and might I say, AWESOME - way!
On the afternoon of the 8th, over 300 dancers gathered at 3:30 pm to learn the choreography for Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ in less than half an hour. A few short moments later, they were spontaneously performing in a crowded city square in Stockholm, to the delight of thousands of unsuspecting passersby. The effect was…enormous.
Peep the video on YouTube here!

Personally, I’m not sure I could even learn all the steps, in itself a huge challenge! However, it’s a treat just to watch!
I feel MJ’s death is a tragic loss to the world of music, entertainment and his Universal message of love and peace to Heal The World. At least his fans around the world will have “THIS IS IT” ~ his final tour immortalized on film to enjoy and remember what an awesome talent he truly was. Tho’ gone too soon, MJ has left an awesome legacy, an Iconic figure for all generations ~ like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley!
