Step Aside Michael Jackson

This morning when i signed into AOL, I saw this as the headline news story. Its also the top video on You Tube this week.

Thought you guys might enjoy it. Apparently, a jail in Cebu (which is in the Phillipines – I googled it) are using dance as a form of distraction and rehabilitation for criminals… and it's working.

OK, that just blew my mind!

Who's the warden? Mel Brooks?

Isn't it cool?

The article said that the inmates claimed to feel more focused on the dancing than on "escape, revenge and other violent activites".

I reminds me of the dog therapy we have here in America. In some prisons, the inmates are completely responsible for their dog (feeding, walking etc). What a great way for them to feel a sense of worth in this world.

My daughter showed this to me last week (there's a couple of them, actually.) Pretty cool, huh?
