History & Background Michael Jackson has always been a big inspiration to Beto. We want to honor this amazing artist with a tribute to the king of pop. We will use MJ songs sung by him but also covers in a Latin beat. This class is not about imitating MJ but about embracing what impact this great artist had in the dance, artist and performing world. We all have a part of us that is connected to his music, songs and entertainment. Application of the Zumba® Formula
• We use Zumba® Fitness core steps as a base for the choreography • We follow the structure of the music. • We add flavor to the choreography that is Jackson inspired.
