Just previous week in Cebu Provincial Detention And Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) were Michael Jackson's Choreographer teaches the dancing inmates for a new routine with 'This Is It'.
Travis Payne, the choreographer said Michael Jackson Jackson watched the previous videos of the dancing inmates during their breaks from his tour rehearsals for "This Is It,". Then Payne contacted Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, and arranged to make a surprise visit to meet the dancing performers in the high security prison. He spent two hours last Sunday, Jan. 17, and Monday, Jan. 18, teaching the dancers the routines from Jackson's posthumous "This Is It" film.
"The Drill" is the last scene Payne and Jackson worked on together before the pop icon died in June. The clip was released over the weekend, days before the Tues., Jan. 26 release of the "This Is It" DVD.
The CPDRC performance videos of Jackson's "Thriller," "Dangerous," and the Village People's "Y.M.C.A," among others, are all well done.
But Payne, who worked with Jackson for more than 10 years, was able to take their performance to new heights. Their rendition of Jackson's "They Don't Really Care About Us" is comparable to the scene in "This Is It."
The "This Is It" version is a highlight of the film. It features a group of dancers who were digitally replicated to appear as an army. Payne's work with the CPDRC men brought this virtual sequence to real life.
The inmates were not initially receptive to participating in the choreographed dances, said Bryon Garcia, a security consultant for the prison. He suggested the activity to keep the prisoners busy during their downtime, the Manila Bulletin reported.
According to the New York Times, Bryon decided to post videos of the prisoners dancing online to publicize some of the positive changes he implemented at Cebu since joining the staff in 2004.
