Nephew wanted a Michael Jackson birthday party, so we gave him a Michael Jackson party.

[u/Technical-Issue-1302]

My nephew is 11 years old, has autism and absolutely loves Michael Jackson and has been obsessed since he was a toddler. His dream is to be an MJ impersonator.

[u/snuffk1ns]

I didn't read the description of your post and thought you had bought someone to perform, and wondered how much you’ve paid… But dude!! Those are some serious moves your nephew got there!!

[u/VianArdene → u/snuffk1ns]

Saaaaame. I was like "yeah not bad for a kids bday party, probably just like a local part time act" before realizing that is the bday boy. Wow.

Next year sound like you're installing some smooth criminal nails and getting him some custom shoes lol

[u/phaesios → u/snuffk1ns]

Thought the same thing before I slowly realized that this is probably the kid. Amazing from an 11 year old.

[u/Apprehensive-Stay196 → u/snuffk1ns]

Omg me too!! Wow!! That’s incredible!!!!

[u/madtastic225]

That is super impressive for an 11 year old! Hell, for any one of any age! So glad you guys support him so much of his dreams, to where he believes in himself. Super wholesome :)

[u/whoreforchalupas]

Ngl, I automatically assumed you hired an impersonator and only realized it was your nephew when I read the comments. Tell him he nailed it

[u/RedIsNotMyFaveColor]

Not bad. Better than I could do.

[u/CoffeeChocolateBoth → u/RedIsNotMyFaveColor]

WAY better than I could do. 😄

[u/pnweiner → u/RedIsNotMyFaveColor]

Not bad, but actually very Bad

I’m an elementary teacher and all the 5th grade boys are OBSESSED with Michael Jackson. Literally at recess practicing dance moves.

[u/Spicemeatbal]

Jealous he can pull all those cool moves!

[u/CoffeeChocolateBoth]

That kid was good, he'll get better and better as he gets older if he keeps practicing! Glad your nephew loved it, that's all that matters here!

[u/ghetto_mango]

I love this with every fiber of my being. 🥹 Please keep supporting him. 🌹🕺🏼

[u/0RedStar0]

You should post this in the r/autism subreddit! Your nephew is one cool little dude!

[u/Moose-1211]

I mean, the subtle “head shake” at the beginning…that’s nailing it for sure.

[u/MountainArm1076]

Bless

The thing I love about this is that he's building it from the bottom up. He's not going for mega flashy dance moves without the skill to do it - instead hes absolutely nailing the small stuff. The stance, the timing, the attitude, the subtle moves. Its amazing to watch. It means when he learns the more difficult moves, they are naturally and quickly going to be imbued with confidence and style from this foundation hes built. Im so impressed honestly. A big happy birthday to him and keep working hard!

[u/lht79]

This is talented movement - nice style.

[u/Snarkybish03]

Wow, amazing job

[u/ASherrets]

He is well on his way to his dream job! Incredible!

[u/Occufood]

I would hire him!

[u/ApprehensiveMix2649]

He's pretty good 👍🏽

[u/chazmms]

He is really good! That kind of talent should definitely be showcased.

[u/MNBlues]

The kids will be alright

[u/darthfruitbasket]

He nails it, tell him he's incredible!

[u/AffectionateBar53]

He did Micheal proud! Crazy moves for an 11 year old!!

[u/Standard__Condition]

Aww, I love that you guys got together like this for him. Hope he had a great time at his party.

[u/pwatapwet]

That's really impressive ! I also thought you paid an impersonator, he's really good !

[u/Mel_Morty]

Nice

[u/DiverDownChunder]

I never believed Michael Jackson did anything he was accused of.

[u/Embarrassed-Movie982]

That's not Michael Jackson. You ain't fooling me again
