Joey Luthman is a young actor, who also studies dance and
voice. He really admires Michael Jackson's music and wanted to do a tribute to him. He was able to perform a medley in December of 2009 at the Mint in Los Angeles. He studies with JJPZ, Jonathan George as his vocal coach.
His dance instruction is from the Millenium on Lankershim in Sherman Oaks, CA. He takes private lessons from Mark Sellars, who was a dancer with Michael Jackson in the original Thriller Video.
He regrets that he did not ever get to meet Mr. Jackson and
hopes that his dancing is a "..complement" to him, and
"..not a disappointment to him.."
Joey continues to work on his own style, but he really loves
MJ's stylings and will probably continue to learn from his videos for many years to come.
Joey is only 13, so there's lots of learning ahead of him.
He will be performing a "Skatman" song and dance number in May, 2010 in Los Angeles,
with the Hollywood School of Pop under direction of Greg Himmelstein. More on that later...... we will keep you posted...
Below is a video of his performance at the Mint in December.
