Chapter 1: Dance Lessons

July 17th, 1981

Two pairs of loafers were in a dance studio as they spun, one of the pairs then fell with the owner in them.

Paul: "Ow ! God Damn it !", yelled the Hispanic young adult as he fell on his ass. Paul, age 21, held out his hand as the hand of an African American celebrity helped him up.

Michael: "You really got to learn to keep balance", said the youngest Jackson brother. Michael Jackson, age 23, helped Paul get up as they looked at a large mirror wall for them to follow their dance routine.

Paul: "OK, so first I put this foot forward and this foot back". Paul did as he said, putting his left foot out and right foot back, with his heel pointing up and toes firm on the ground.

Paul: "Then I slowly pick up my right foot...".

Michael: "Yeah, remember as your lifting it, you slowly turn it as you lift it. It should be almost horizontal, but not fully". Michael and Paul looked at each others feet and back at the mirror to see the spin in steps.

Michael: "Now swing it around and put the foot on it's side", said Michael as he brought his right foot around his left foot. Paul then had his left foot on it's side as it went around his left foot like Michael.

Paul: "And then I spin my body around now, right ?".

Michael: "Yes, but remember the feet, as they spin are in positions. See first I spin my left leg to move from the right foot and both should spin, my right foot is on it's heel as my left should lift it's heel just a bit as you're on your toes". From the mirror's reflection, both smile as they see their bodies move together exactly in a spin.

Paul: "Then turn all together to be in normal human stand, right ?".

Michael: "Yeah exactly, now let's try it a little faster". Paul then repeated all the steps and did it much faster and kept doing it faster as he felt his muscle tightened as he spun. The two did it several times, nearly twenty-five to be a bit more specific, and Michael stepped back to see Paul do it perfectly fast.

Paul: "HA-HA-HA ! I got it ! Michael, how do you do it ?".

Michael: "What ? I just taught you how to spin".

Paul: "You know what I mean, how do you remember to do this stuff when you got the music, don't you ever feel like just to go with the rhythm instead of just the same dance over and over again ?".

Michael: "Technically no, cause going with the rhythm is something I do with these dances. And when I do like the Jackson 5 Melody dances, it's cause the music moves me to a familiar feeling from my past, but to keep myself fresh is listening to all kinds of music cause all of the music moves me and makes me experiment to make moves".

Paul: "Can I ask you something, do you mind if I can be part of this process ?"

Michael: "Well...do you mean musically & with dance ?". Paul then jumps happily like a cartoon and with a funny face says..."Yes".

Michael: "...oh, well uh-OK".

Paul: "Yay !". Paul spins happily as he does the fast spin on his toes and falls down, making Michael laugh and nearly get him rolling on the floor. Michael keeps on laughing at Paul babbling on like a funny dazed cartoon as he tires to get up, but falls shaking his hands and on his heel...then falls on his butt. Michael then gets up and helps Paul as the two continue their dancing lessons.
