Diasagreeing about the MJ thing. Did you see my Dancing Machine thread in non prince a few weeks ago. Never seen P do the Robot or break for that matter 
The only thing you can throw at me is SOTT movie, Parade or Love Sexy eras. I got 30 years... Thieves in the temple...if you wanna argue the brother don't choreograph. It's on personal taste, but in a str8 battle, P would lose. watch me get banned now.  ----- You will not get banned. Mike is an entertainer and great singer. P is a muscian and I think he focused on that first. I don't know if he used a teacher for dancing or if he just goes with his feelings. I think the whole let's do a chorographed dance routine is tired because of videos. I wish other performers would just do what Prince is doing now and just free form. In addtion, Cat said he was a pretty good dancer as the use to go out and dance. So maybe he just has it naturally. | |

*She said he was very nice and fun....I wish I was her back then! LoL Rhonda S. Hmmm... wasn't Glam Slam his club from the 80s/90s.... wasn't the Electric Slide from the 70s..... 
Cool story if it's true... ----- The electric slide was not from the damm 70's. People were doing this in the 90's . There was a big song out to go with the dance by Marcia Griffiths. Hugh record and dance in the black community. | |

The dance itself, like a lot of dances, has several names and several variations and ad libs and was being done well before the f#cking 90's...when White folks got a hold of it.I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

It was implied that it could not be true because the dance was around in the 70's. Maybe it has been around for the last 30 years. Who the fuck cares !!! The point is the story could be true. Someone could have taught him the dance in the 90's. Lighten up | |

Second, you yourself believe the dance first came out in the 90s, which it didn't. So like I said, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Nothing personal...

Such utter boolsheet. ----- I never said I believed the dance came out in the 90's. I know people were doing the the Electric Slide in the 90's. I would have had to have been living under a rock not to know. I am sure the same dance with a different name was around in the past. However, I was responding to the comment that P was not taught the Electric Slide in the 90's because it was not around in the 90's. Well it was around. I do kind of take it personal when I am being told I don't know what I am talking about when it comes to something as simple as "Did people do a dance called the "Electric Slide in the 90's. | |

I think it's fair to say that Prince did not always have moves. When you look at him in those Prince/For You/Controversy/Dirty Mind days, he was mostly strutting and posing and running all over the damn place. He didn't get his act together until Little Red Corvette.
BTW, that's why I thought he was taught, because the difference in his moves is pretty dramatic. Come here, babe.. yeah... | |

BTW, that's why I thought he was taught, because the difference in his moves is pretty dramatic. my 2 cents.... he might not have been "taught" like went to school, studied under someone. but he was "Taught" as in coreoghraped. practice, practice, practice. probly wit the help of another. and i think all that "he just got comfy with hisself" stuff is bogus, cuz i'm sure he was dancin b4 he got big. so wouldn't it make sense for him to have been comfy? look at his dancing b4 lrc..very....free..i dont give a fuck, i'm havin fun..type dancing. but lrc and after is very polished, very smooth, wit lots of posturing. so yea he may not have went to school or nothin like that. but he DEFINATELY had some guidance Yesterday is dead...tomorrow hasnt arrived yet....i have just ONE day...
...And i'm gonna be groovy in it! | |

I think this is clear in the outake scene filmed for "The latest fashion"
ufoclub said: I have read that Paula abdul was an uncredited advisor choreographer for Prince for Graffiti Bridge and it's videos, and the performances aorund that time.
altavista said: It seems like Prince's ability to move his ass increased dramatically from 1999 onwards (I think Little Red Corvette was the first really professionally polished performance).
It is widely known that Paula Abdul "taught" Janet Jackson how to dance. The basics of movement and anticipation and rhythm, that is not natural to most people. Does anyone know if there was a Paula in Prince's life that helped him out back in the day? I've tried to check this out on the internet, but I only end up with choreographers who have worked with him on specific projects. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid
