With the first anniversary of the dead of Michael Jackson, gamers and fans will have a new opportunity to learn the moonwalk, dancing and singing with The King of Pop.
Ubisoft® announced June 14, 2010, at the E3 Expo 2010, in Los Angeles, the development of an interactive performance-based video game, inspired by the legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
The game is family entertainment and a school digital resource at its best and will provide an interactive experience that enables players/students to step into the shoes of Michael Jackson himself and re-live his most iconic performances through their own singing and dancing style.

Education:
A video game! Wonderful digital resource to include into Music curriculum! Students will have fun and can fight some obesity.
Children and young people can become obese if they regularly don't practice some exercise. And dance is a very good exercise, even in school. They will love!

I write often about the benefits of dancing in school. Physically and emotionally. Dance is a good therapy for young people and school curricula will be an good moment.
A fantastic and enjoyable therapy! Did you saw ' How these kids had fun? Dance !
