05 Aug “Dance Like Michael Jackson” — more Asian Americans showing they can dance

Saw this via Angry Asian Man (a daily must-read): Young Asian Americans are proving they can dance, and not just on MTV’s “America’s Best Dance Crew.”

This cool video is performed by FarEast Movement but created by Wong Fu Productions, a trio of Chinese Americans from UC San Diego who started making cool content online in 2003 and now run the gamut from online videos and music to t-shirts for your back.

Cool track as well as dancing — MJ’s high, lonesome “hee-hee” comes in and out like some ghostly punctuation mark on the dancing, and it’s nice to see these dancers, who probably weren’t even born when “Thriller” came out in 1983, pulling out all those old-school moves.
