Students dance with frames as they perform to a mix of Michael Jackson songs
Exerpts:
On March 13, Barwell performed a tribute to Sandy Hook Elementary using six Michael Jackson hits. Fifth grade students sang, danced and even rapped to “Thriller,” “Beat It,” “ABC,” “Man in the Mirror,” “We are the World” and “Heal the World.”
In addition, five art students painted a portrait of Michael Jackson onto multiple canvases that were assembled during the performance. Those students were Joselin Linares-Romero, Selina Ifidon, Nivo Fnu, Kyra Davis and Jim A...
The students and teachers joined together to sing “Heal the World,” while a screen listed the Sandy Hook victims’ names in the shape of a heart and inside were lyrics from Jackson’s song...
Ten year old Carlos Cortes was one of Barwell’s performers this year. He sported a flashy jewel-encrusted tie with his ensemble and was quick to show off his MJ dance moves after the dress rehearsal Tuesday.
After asked if he could dance like Michael Jackson, Cortes quickly popped his body up on the toes of his shoes with one hand on the brim of an imaginary hat and one hand on his belt he yelled out, “Hee-Hee!” in a familiar Jackson style.
Cortes found time to answer a few questions between dance moves.
“[The performance] was fun. I get to sing a lot of songs,” said Cortes. He also boasted that he has been a Michael Jackson fan for as long as he can remember.
Cortes added that he “feels sad for all of the families” affected by the Sandy Hook tragedy.
