He did it on Twitter, now Michael Jackson wins the accolade of Big Dance Greatest Dancer on the website beating Margot Fonteyn, (who takes second place), and then Rudloph Nureyev, Usher, Gene Kelly and Chris Brown who all share third spot.
The list represents ballet, contemporary, street dance, Irish dance and tap and illustrates the interest in reality TV, with showings from Diversity, Flawless and George Sampson who also appeared in the British hit film ‘Streetdance’ (the first British film shot in 3D movie), which has gone on to break numerous records.
Perhaps a surprise, given the interest in RnB, is the omission of Janet Jackson. The list is American and male dominated.
