Oh, this must only just have been decided recently because I spoke to Dres (dancer) less than 2 weeks ago asking if this was real, and if it was still happening, because it was due to start pretty soon and I knew he was still on the Whitney tour. He said it was still happening but not all the dancers will be at all the shows as they all have many different projects that conflict so those who can be there will be there and the others will join on when they can.
So now its not happening, but they will be at a tribute in Rome, ITALY on 25th hmmm
Exactly one year after the death of Michael Jackson is on 25 June in Rome planned a big tribute concert in honor of the pop-king in Rome. The "Michael Jackson Memorial Tribute" will be held at the Olympic stadium in the Eternal City and organized by his brother Marlon Jackson.
At the organization also participate Alfred McCrary, who, with Michael Jackson composed a number of leaders, and Travis Payne, the choreographer and co-producer of "This is it," the documentary about Jackon's last appearance. Details of the concert will be at a press conference on Monday presented in Rome, will be at the Jackson family lawyer Brian Oxman and spokeswoman Katchryn Molofsky to presence.
Cancelled Austria-concert
One of Jermaine Jackson, another brother of pop stars, and the Austrian Georg Kindel organizer before Schönbrunn planned tribute concert last September, came about as little as the replacement plan for a concert in London in June 2010.
Ive heard the same the all the brothers are doing a concert on the 25th June.

So, two MJs brothers are preparing two separated "tribute" gigs.
How professional.
(I dont think both will be realized)
Personally, I think it's just Travis and the dancers way of continuing Michael's dance legacy. In the dance world, Michael's style of dance is very distinct and recognized and I heard it called by other dancers as the 'Jacksonian' style or 'very Michael-esque'.
I think we've all seen how much the dancers from TII loved and adored Michael. It was their dream to go on tour with Michael. They put in a lot of hard work to be the best for Michael and unfortunately, they never got to show the world the fruits of their labor as it was meant to be seen at a 100%. Travis has been Michael's friend and collaborator since 1992 and has been with him on two world tours. These guys aren't amateurs or just a bunch of dancers who have no connection to Michael.
I'd go and see this tour if it was anywhere near me and as long as the ticket prices were decent. IMO, Travis and the dancers are only taking what they learned from Michael and growing from there.
