Hi, how's it going? Are you a fan of dance at all?
gpt
I like dancing but I don't watch any of the dancing shows or go to the ballet a lot. How about you?
human
*relaxed posture* I don't either, but I could appreciate the moves of a Michael Jackson or a Justin Timberlake.
gpt
Yes they are both great dancers. I was recently watching the video of Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk for the first time, it was great!
human
*relaxed posture* Michael Jackson has a patent on a device to achieve extreme lean in some of his dance moves lol
gpt
*hands at sides* Yes he used it in the Smooth Criminal video, it was basically a locking device on the bottom of his shoe that allowed him to lean almost 45 degrees.
human
Wow that's pretty cool. Did you hear a new documentary just came out about him? Not necessarily a flattering one.
gpt
*eyes downcast* He had an odd and turbulent life. His dad really did a number on him growing up. It's a sad story.
human
*frowns* Yeah I think it's called Leaving Neverland and it's about two of the kids that accused him. I think Michael Jackson still just thought he was a kid in his mind.
gpt
*frowns* I think in the end he really didn't do anything wrong with those children and he was just misunderstood. His behavior was a little odd but not illegal.
human
Agreed. And you aren't kidding when you say that Joe Jackson did a number on him. It is really a sad story.
gpt
It's a shame because I remember when he would release new music growing up and it was an event. He made some of the best songs of all time.
human
So many great songs. Sorry I didn't mean to bring this conversation down but how can you talk about dance and not include Michael Jackson? Without him we probably don't have Timberlake, Usher, Chris Brown or anyone else.
gpt
In watching the video about him moonwalking they mention that after his performance he got a congratulatory letter from Fred Astaire. He said it was the best letter he received in his career.
human
That's pretty cool. Did you know Tupac danced ballet in high school?
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I did not know that, I know a lot of athletes such as Michael Jordan have. In fact his Air Jordan logo is him performing a ballet leap.
human
*eyes widen* Haha what? Is that true? I thought it was his dunk from the free throw line.
gpt
It is designed to resemble that but he did not do that big a split in his dunk
human
Very interesting. So Michael Jordan actually danced or it was just modeled after a ballet leap?
gpt
He did ballet to help with his agility.
