RIP Michael Jackson

We were all very shocked and saddened to hear about the death of Michael Jackson here at the British Action Academy.

Michael Jackson was taught to MoonWalk by Jeffrey Daniels of the famous 80's pop group Shalamar, Jeffrey first famously performed the MoonWalk in the UK on Top of the Pops in 1982 (one year before MJ's live performance of Billy Jean). Jeffery was also in a dance group called 'Eclipse' who were famous for performing the original LA street dance style of Body Popping and Locking.

An interesting fact that you might not know was that Andreas was also taught the MoonWalk by Jeffrey during the same period that he taught Michael!

Andreas was taught the same style dancing as Michael from Eclipse at an early age, helping him to become a great Street Dancer and finally winning the UK Break Dancing Championship back in 1984.

Michael Jackson was a musical legend and in the end who cares about that he looked like or the financial legacy of his estate, he was a supremely talented, misunderstood man who fought desperately to recreate the childhood he never had.

It is estimated that his debt is about $300 million but not many are aware that he actually spent the same amount as his debt on charities over his lifetime, helping to radically improve the worlds serious global issues and the lives of children in need across the world.

When we know the astounding financial contribution he made to charity work, why do we care what is owed from his estate to those rich banks and billion dollar private investors? I'm sure they can operate without his money but the charities Michael invested in, couldn't.

His music will continue to inspire people for many hundreds of years to come.

RIP MJ

We love Debbie McGee as much as Chris Moyles!

Well, if you tuned into BBC Radio Berkshire last Sunday, you would have heard Andreas talking to Debbie McGee about his movie career and our company! It was a great interview and were very happy to have our time extended so we were on air longer.

Debbie McGee was lovely and we do have to agree with Chris Moyles about her, she's fantastic on the radio and hosts a very good show.

We shall add the interview on the blog when we get it through from the BBC.

Debbie and Andreas also did some movie fight sequences on air which was recorded on video and they will be adding it onto Debbie's blog on the BBC Radio Berkshires website and it should also be appearing on YouTube soon so watch this space!

So next stop....... Radio 1...... we're planning to woo the pants off Chris Moyles as we hear he's a big Star Wars fan.... !!

Stay tuned for more updates....

BBC Radio Berkshire - here we come!

If you have the sudden urge to listen to Debbie McGee this Sunday morning (10th May) over your morning coffee, please tune in to BBC Radio Berkshire online and listen to Andreas being interviewed. He'll talk about his experiences on major blockbuster movies and will also be plugging our company along with the Star Wars Seminars.....
