My mom sent that to me this morning. Funny that the guy they picked to be Michael is the weakest dancer in that central group. hehehe However, apparently, according to the original upload on YouTube this "is not the final routine, and definitely not a punishment! just a teaser." Can't wait to see the finished product!

The one playing the girl must have been very popular after 'Lights Out'!

I saw that last week. Loved it!

There's an article on the BBC News website about the "unusual physical fitness regime at a jail."

and i thought i had seen every thriller video on youtube.
i think my facination with that dance may be bordering on unhealthy.

Other early choices included In the Navy and YMCA by the Village People, which were chosen so that macho inmates "wouldn't be offended by being asked to dance".
