following on from the thread about Ghosts and the dancers Michael has worked with

Michaels influence in the wold of music videos and popluar atrists can be seen every where.

Most of the popular artist today are being taught to dance or their videos are being chorography by dancers who started their dancing career with Michael. His legacy of groundbreaking vieos and innovative dancing lives on in the work of his past "students"

Rich and Tone Talauega
discovered by Laveille Smith dancing on the steet in La, were dancers on History Tour and have become the most sought after choroagraphers, working with everyone from Black Eyed Peas, Madonna, Kylie, Chris Brown, J Lo and soo many others

Laveille Smith
was a dancer on the BAD tour, Dangerous Tour and History tour, now works with Beyonce for live shows and videos

Tina Landon
Was a dancer in Smooth Criminal, went on to work with Janet and became her main chorographer for her live shows and videos, now works with Ciara

Wade Robson
discovered by Michael aged 6, moved to La and stayed alot at Neverland. Was employed by Jive Records/Zomba music and by the age of 14 was the main chorogapher for Britney Spears, Nsync and later Justin Timberlake

Chris Judd
was a dancer on History Tour, went on to work with J Lo

these are the ones that spring to mind, so the next time you see a performance or video and you think they are ripping off Michaels dancing, just do some reaserch, you might be surprised to find that in actual fact its their choreograpgher that has some time in the past worked with Michael and has incorparated his influence and style into their own!!
 
Thanks for all of that information. It makes sense. Michael's opened the doors for a lot of people and his dancing has been as influential as any great dancers of the past. And he's always worked with good dancers too.
