Never fails to amuse me that Alfonso Ribiero, a legitimately fantastic dancer, will forever be remembered for...The Carlton Dance:

I came here hoping beyond hope that at least SOMEONE would post the Carlton Dance. Did you see the video of that NFL player who Carlton'd in the endzone this year?

YES

I love the looks on the kid's faces when they first bump into MJ.

Was this before or after he sold "Revolution" to Nike?

Yes

I don't know if I'm saying yes for Michael or Alfonso here, but I love it!

I always forget Alfonso is a totally talented trained dancer, until I see things like this.
