In 2007, the inmates of Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), a maximum security prison in Cebu, in the Cebu Province of the Philippines, imitated the zombie dance featured in the music video of Michael Jackson's "Thriller". The footage, uploaded onto video sharing website YouTube, became an immediate internet hit and viral video. The idea behind the dance came from the prison's chief, Byron F. Garcia. Garcia first conceived the idea of exercising as an enjoyable way of keeping the prisoners mentally and physically fit. Music was then added to provide additional motivation. The convicts marched and danced to several songs, including "In the Navy" and "Y.M.C.A." by the Village People. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org)
Now, together with the choreographer and dancers of Michael Jackson they danced "They Don't Care About Us" by Micheal Jackson.
MJ choreographer Travis Payne and MJ dancers performed with the CPDRC inmates last January 19, 2010 in Cebu Philippines. Acknowledgement to Byron Garcia, CPDRC Wardon in cooperation with Sony Music. (source: http://www.youtube.com)
