MJ FAN TRIBUTE
Reflections on the Dance— Continued

I
he name for this website was chosen because the
"dance" stands for so many things, especially when
it comes to Michael Jackson. First, he was an amazing
dancer. One of the most amazing we have seen in our
lifetime. Even Fred Astaire himself concurred. Michael
also explains in "Dancing the Dream" his feeling that
"the world we live in is the dance of the creator and that
dancers come and go in the
twinkling of an eye, but the
dance lives on." We see a reflection of ourselves in a mirror,
which reminds us of Michael's
"Man in the Mirror."
Michael
was a reflection of all of us and
we all need to look in the mirror
to make this world a better place.
approached the project with a desire for truth, with a
hunger for wanting to know more about this man who
seemed to be painted by the media as sub-human and
strange. I knew in my heart that there was something
amiss about who the media said Michael Jackson was,
and, who he really was. As I went about the research, I
was amazed to find out just how much different he was
than what we have been spoon fed by sensationalism
for so many years. So different in fact, that if all you've
known about Michael Jackson
is what you've read and heard
in the media, then you are
going to have your socks
blown off!
I
really wanted to bring to
light as much as possible, who he was a person, to
recognize all of the good he did with his life and in this
world. To help others really search out the truth about
him and in doing so, learn to search out the truth in all
things. I believe that by arming yourself with knowledge
and truth, that the dark places are lit up and things become clearer. Knowledge and truth overcome rumors,
speculation and lies.

his site was born out of a desire, first and foremost,
to honor Michael's memory. This is a celebration of
Michael, of his life, of the love he left, the example he
set. It's a celebration of who he was and is, his accomplishments, and his humanity.
This site is a look at the often-times overwhelming, challenging and beautiful, and sometimes painful journey
that was the life of Michael Jackson.
The truth needs to be told! Who was Michael, really?
N
o doubt, Michael Jackson's music and dance has
been a major part of many of our lives, a virtual
soundtrack going back to the Jackson 5 songs when
those in my generation were young kids, all the way up
to his more current music. His music has been a part of
our entire lives. You hear his music playing, you see his
dance moves, and there is
something so familiar about it
all.
His music and talent,
touched a generation, and,
touched the whole world. But
there was more to this story. Beyond the music, beyond
the dance, beyond the talent
and beyond the tabloid headlines, there was a man, a
human being, who hungered to be known and who
many of us never really got a closer look at. That is
what this site is all about.
