The other day I listened to ABBA when I suddenly remembered ABBalett.
A swedish wellknown choreographer-Birgit Cullberg,then 76 year -made choreography for balett to ABBAs music.

Birgit Cullberg felt that music had both a human and literary interest. In ABBA's songs, she found many human stories and tales of love especially.
Songs that belonged together emotionally, or followed a dramatic turn of events, joined together.

Well,Michael´s songs have lot´s of human stories and tales of love too.
It would be interesting to see what a choreographer in ballet would do with thriller, threatened ,perhaps ghosts, is it scary.

Michael have anti-war songs
In Abbas soldiers the soldiers are marching away,they return as skeletons

I don´t love this song , I just like it.But this I watch over and over again.

I´m not a person who use to see ballet performances but I think it can be beautiful to watch.
Michael´s music and balletdancers a good choreography, I think that would be amazing
 
:ciao: im a ballet dancer, and ive choreographed dances in that style to MJs Music many times :D its a great contrast for you never actually see ballet being performed with a fast beat song, or with lyrics, and its quite fun choreographing a dance to his lyrics too, and trying to fit in certain emotion through the dance to convey the message he is putting across in the song :) i love dancing to mjs music!!

if a ballet was ever to be choreographed to mjs music, that would bo sooo cool!! michael jackson ballet :D that would rock :D

I'd love to see a ballet to MJ's music! Michael was not only a musician but also a dancer, so that would be quite fitting.
 
It could be a longer ballet with one theme or ballets with different themes ,I think I want both..on stage and then dvd, blue-ray whatever.

If you scroll down you can see a snippet from JJ´S voices
I didn´t know ballet could be like this, at least it is the Cullbergballet and I suppose it´s ballet.

I love this

I don´t understand a word of the song but both the voice and the dance are so full of emotions
