I'd love to hear if he has any stories about the quick costume changes Michael did between Working Day and Night and Beat It on the BAD and Dangerous tours. Eddie was the one who theatrically pulled away the sheet revealing the empty chair where Michael sat moments before. They must have done a LOT of rehearsals for that to work as well as it did on stage. What was it like being part of that illusion? What was it like doing the Lean live on tour? With the speed of the choreography, was it difficult to find the right spot and get locked in on time? Looking forward to this, thanks! 🙂
Thank you so much for your comment!! 😁😁 All those questions are answered! Stay tuned 😎😎 This interview is super interesting and Eddie has some really great stories of his time with Michael, so I really hope you enjoy as much as I did! :) :D
@@RedJacksonDance When I posted that it hadn't clicked with me that it's not a live video! But I'm glad you covered those questions anyway and a lot more, I'm sure. Thanks so much, can't wait to see it. 🙂
Look Up ruclips.net/video/YY5SOJ8PTKc/видео.html Michael went in a trap door to under the stage, under the chair. The chair opens and michael could sink in and go down. He then changed under the stage and ran to the cherry picker on the other side of the stage
@@prestonspolicy Thanks for the link. I think Michael's version was more impressive because he had to go under the stage, remove the outer WDAN costume, put on the Beat It jacket and cloak, and get onto the cherry picker - all in a very short space of time in a confined space with minimal lighting! The illusion in the second half of the Bad tour was probably more challenging, and more impressive, because the WDAN costume was white and he disappeared from a raised platform.
@@MillisecondFalcon the raised platform all he did was climb up a rope that was in the tube thing. He ran across a covered scaffolding and down stairs by the Cherry picker and met with bush to change jumped on as soon as he goes “ho!”
yeah if you was not a dancers/dance fan or never watched dancers - also if dancers never danced in music vedioes,shows ,movies...ect. - dance/ dancer fan here
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👍(I think this is a high 5 👋 - so high 5)😊. So glad Dominic is being remembered through online services ( vedio tributes to him and ect ) Glad I can still watch my faves.
Greetings from Japan! I saw Dominic when I was 12 through Bad tour in Yokohama (on TV). And I saw him through American Music Award in 1990. I wondered who he was all the time.Many years later, I realized he was Dominic. I watched the video more than 10,0000 times till it was totally worn out. I screamed when the video casette tape cut. I am so happy to watch his dance on the internet! How he expresses himself makes me think he is so cultivatited, generous, cheerful and hard working. I am honored if his sister reads this message. :) I still watch his video very often. The best era of music!
There was no way I was going to sit through an hour and half with this guy (not knowing anything about him) and not only did I but I completely had my mind blown. This interview is amazing and unreal. Part of the story to and with this interview is that I don't think I have ever even seen this guy interviewed after decades and decades....there is a real story here in terms of how awful and incompetent the media and people are about missing such opportunities to learn and question things that should have happened a long time ago before now. This video is AMAZING as well as the clips which were very smartly done by the way!!! GREAT JOB!!!
Thank you, Red, for this excellent interview with Eddie Garcia, one of Michael's backup dancers. I really enjoyed the interview! Eddie Garcia has achieved so much in his career; he started dancing with famous people at a very young age. I appreciate how he stood up for Michael! He made it clear that Michael was a kind, sweet, and empathetic artist and team member. Eddie himself provided inspiring, humble, and creative insights into his work. "Make sure you're good to yourself and be good to the people around you" - that is beautifully said! Eddie is an inspiring and excellent dancer! I love all your interviews, Red!
Eddie is a great Dancer. I saw him on the Bad Tour 1988 wth Michael and also on The Dangerous Tour in 92 all in Europe. Nice to hear his perspective on Janet. I think he was also in Smooth Criminal.
Yes, he was in smooth criminal! Hope you enjoyed the video. And it must’ve been incredible to see MJ live! Twice!! Please like and subscribe, it really helps. Take care and happy holidays :)

he was so amazing with janet too. That is when i first became a fan of his ..i have always been a hugeeeee fan of Janet. Mj & Janet always makes me dance till. Dog?
I remember the banana pants definitely and their outfits.I remember watching them and thinking their moves so perfect and they are fast so perfect...my world stop when they came on tv and i was glued to Mj,Eddie,Dominic,Levelle,Randy. They were my 1st dance teachers. I remember all these performances still. I dont copy things like 32:14 and 1 other move. I had a huge crush on Eddie & Dominic. I thought Levelle & Randy was awesome dancers- i still love them too. I follow their careers.
@@RedJacksonDance I watch the tour to this day the first leg of the Bad Tour and Dangerous first leg tour definitely in bucharest 1992 The original HBO premiere it was a big event at the time I was a little kid
@@steviecritiquenewby7874 I bet! It must’ve been incredible to see it at the time. Do you have a favourite MJ concert or performance? Also, is there anyone else you’d like to see me interview on the channel? :)

Its me again. I remember seening Eddie dance esp to Smooth Crimnal and i spent hrs copying him on the tour. I have a habit of watching Mj and every dancer.
That’s so lucky!! What was it like? I wasn’t alive during that time, so I would love to know!! I really wish I was around then, I’m glad we at least have footage though, but still! What was seeing Michael live like? I know it was definitely nothing short of incredible!😊
@I.lovemy_pets I was only young my self 7 years old and the Bad Concert but my memory of it sharp and i remember the feeling of the atmosphere was very magical knowing we are about to witness something special and rare the build up of everything was exciting ....I was with my autie and uncle.. , was like a ball of built up energy to explode.... , I remember the sound system being super loud , being on my uncles shoulders kept giving me numb legs lol we was close to the stage on the right hand side of the stage , every song had its own unique charm from fast pace to a chill breakdown after the show my ears was ringing and it's poured down really heavy with rain 🌧 it was dark aswell , my nan made us soup 🍲 after the show as she only lived round the corner to Wembley Stadium
Hope you do more interviews with Eddie,Levelle and MJ 's dancers/ choreographers...esp from Bad and Dangerous also Jamie, Randy,Cris and Jason ...wish Travis Eddie,Jamie,Randy ,Levelle, would get togather - hope they also tell us memories of Dominic and MJ since they passed to the other side. I love how Eddie remembered Dominic Lucero That would be amazing ! I love MJ and his dancers. I hope Eddie is on again. MJ,Vincent,Eddie,Dominic,Levelle,Randy,Jamie and all MJ's dancers will always be speacial in my heart also all the Jackson's.
I really love him dancing with Janet on Black Cat vedio. I rewind that so much and Eddie dancing - trying to see his and Janet's moves plus Eddie handsome. I really love Smooth Crimnal. I LOVE ALOT - yeah i really love how MJ and Vincent taught people not to beat it each other up but to dance instead. I also love how they did Bad- i love MJ 's part and his dancers. Wow Dangerous was done off Judy Garland..neat. I love working day or night too...i always really love also Wanna be starting something ...and beat it .. i love when the d songs also that Jackson 5 done before.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I used to look at the dancers from WHYDFML by Janet I always wondered who that Dancer was and it turned out to be Eddie Garcia. I always said, why they never focused on the dancers we never knew and I could never find out who some of them were, now I know that was Eddie Garcia. I kept saying what happened to that one Dancer in Janet's video but never saw him again. He was everywhere and I didn't even know it!!!!!!😊😊😊
Speed Demon was a song I played more on the Bad Album as a child along with the Moonwalker movie that was on VHS the short film video for it so underrated song and video 💯 #classic #timeless
I like hearing each of the dancer’s experiences and how they got into the business and what they achieved! Each of them are so talented and Each have their own experiences!!!! I had no idea this was the guy from Saved By The Bell and in the Janet videos….GREAT story!!!!!!!!!
I met Eddie in NJ when he was in Guys Next Door at the Garden State Mall. Stand-up guy, so nice, and killer smile. Magic Night was my favorite video of his.
GREAT INTERVIEW! I saw Eddie Garcia's name in a different MJ video about the bad tour and decided to see if there is any interviews. So glad I found this interview. I've learned so much.
😁😁Yes, thankfully the credits were included on the video, that's how I found out who everyone is. I want to hear from all of them. What an iconic concert tour!!! 🙏So thankful for Eddie Garcia!!! What a great guy!
Om goodness only 4 mins in and had to comment. Saved by the Bell aaaaaah, yes it was showed in the UK and I loved it. My childhood oh my days didn't know that...... woohoo
Greetings from Japan! (^^) Thank you so much for posting this wonderful clip. When I was 12, I watched Yokohama concert on TV. I watched it at least 10,000 times until the video casette tape was totally worn out and cut it. The show was the best show in my life. I didn't know the name of his backup dancers till last year, but I found their names on the Internet. Eddie is so friendly and cheerful and it's against my expectation! (^^) Eddie is also very proffestional, I mean. I really enjoy watching this clip! Thank you so much!
I had no idea I would watch this interview for as long as I did, wow so glad to have done so, what a gem of a guy Eddie is, so accomplished and so humble with it. Such an engaging interview, felt like I learnt so much from a perspective we never really get to hear of. Thank you :-)
I did wander if he got married or had kids but i never asked because i thought it would be rude. I hope Eddie and his love ones has a safe and peaceful holidays. Iam glad MJ ,Eddie was in my life.
I think Eddie is the funniest on the stage during performances. ( 1:13). Love Mj outfits in this vedio. Mj best outfits ( Bad tour also History Tour Smooth Crimnal). Yeah I agree with Eddie a team. I wish him and his wife put out more stuff. Eddie got a wonderful personality/ attidude.
❤❤This is the interview I was hoping to find!! I was dying to hear from the dancers on the BAD Tour!! SO flippin' AWESOME!! I love the "Shake Your Body" clips, that act was so funny! I had no clue Eddie was so young! Wow. It seems a lot of kids in Hollywood got emancipated from their parents. Interesting bit of info, there. How exciting to hear from Eddie Garcia!!! He has so much respect for Michael Jackson! ❤LOTS OF LOVE❤
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate it. Please subscribe and check out some of my other videos, you might like my interview with LaVelle Smith Jr, MJ’s longtime dancer and choreographer on all the tours and also some videos!
@@RedJacksonDance Hi Red! Just seeing your comment because I'm rewatching this interview. I've watched a lot of your videos. You're making history! I did see the interview with Lavelle, too. He's one of my FAVORITE people. He makes me cry. He loves MJ so much. I find myself refering to MJ in the present tense, also, as Lavelle said he does. I don't know why I do it. I think it's because I really have a heart for Michael, and he shouldn't have been taken from us (and his children) so early. People are so cruel.😢 Lavelle did a wonderful video a while back about the false accusers slandering him when MJ can't defend himself. I felt Lavelle's pain, for real. What a beautiful man he is. MJ had some really great people who worked with him, they stayed with him for decades! The BAD Tour group, especially!
Man i watched Breakin as a kid , it has a lot of key people that have been involved with Michael in video or live including Boogaloo Shrimp who helped Michael with the Back slide (moonwalk) . Thank you Eddie for taking time to chat with Red it helps us fans learn more about the king of pop
Great Job Guys !! I Love and Respect my Brother Eddie Garcia, he is an Amazing Human being that happens to be talented. Much Love and Best Wishes Brother.
Oh my gosh I remember hearing the name Dupree dance school when I was taking lessons in La Habra (N. OC) 80s and early 90s what a blast from the past. lol I can’t remember the details but I heard it was the place that the kids who wanted to become pros went to. I had a dance teacher named Lisa Stone who had just been in 2 Janet Jackson videos and worked with Paul Abdul right before she came to our studio in the late 80s. I don’t know if Eddie might have known her at some point. I have such fond memories of her from my childhood! She was the only good dance teacher we ever had there and I suddenly became such a good dancer for the first time in my life and it was so fulfilling.
And thank you so much for giving an interview about the substance of the artistry because it’s almost always been the case that all interviews about MJ are just about superficial aspects of who he was as a person instead of about him as an artist and trying to get information about the substance of what he actually did is almost impossible, including from people who worked with him. Or the people can’t think objectively and just spend the whole time idealizing a human being and sound like sycophants. It’s so sad that all of the personal stuff just seemed to totally overshadow everything else. Thank you for your great interview! :-)
Such a great guy! Infectious enthusiasm, great dancer, and crazy that you've been as much a part of my life as Michael coz I was watching you as a kid the 80s like I watch Michael and Janet 😭
What an Incredible and informative interview!! Thank you so much @redjackson and Mr Garcia for a window into touring with Michael and such special sharing of the magic of dance. So uplifting and important for the world right now!
Eddie is soo amazing!!!! He is my fave dancer still. I looked up to him..he was my dance teacher..so glad kids,Cris,janet,mj and ect has/ had eddie ..he is so postive ! Eddie trained me .( one of them definitely one of my best and number 1 dance teacher and one of my very first dance teacher on tv..Eddie is funny "grateful for " "my dog". I love animals too😁 Did he say his dog was name Indian Jones ?😁 That is sooo sweet "feel good about themself and be good people ". I agree with everything Eddie say 😁
Thank you Red Jackson for this amazing interview with Eddie Garcia 🙏 he is one of the luckiest persons on this earth to work with the great Michael Jackson and be so close to him , its amazing to see genuine poeple like him who are so talented and admire Michael so much professionally and personally, wish both of you all the best ❤🙏👑🤟🦋🌻
This is great Red, I’m 41 still a huge fan of Micheal and often you wonder about his old tour team and all the background things so this is awesome 🙌🏽 well done and thank you very insightful
I had the privilege to have Eddie Garcia as a dance teacher when I was on scholarship at Edge Performing Arts Center in Hollywood when I was 16. What an amazing edited video of all his work! Also cool to see Randy Allaire who also danced on tour with Michael who was the scholarship program director.
Eddie Garcia was my fave dancer when i was little and I had crush on him. I love watching him dance. I love MJ,Dominic Lucero ,Levelle Smith,Randy,Mikhail B... i love Gene kelly in Xanadu...i love tina , paula,janet too. I watched eddie in everything i knew he was in. I love how he danced- I copied alot of Eddie's moves. I have always been and will always will be a MJ & Janet fan also MJ's backup dancers esp the originals and jamie ..i love cris and travis too..eddie was my 1st tv crush..thank u very much 4 the interview i love watching it - everything you eddie was in- i seen it and more .Thank u very much for keeping eddie,Mj and his people alive still.Such a blessing we can still hear,see it all with post you and others post. Such a blessing . Hope everyone have peaceful and safe holidays
Thank you Red for letting Eddie Garcia speak about his working experience with Michael Jackson. Great video again. Looking forward for more interviews of MJ's personnel, friends, and many more who love Michael as he is...
This interview was wonderful. Love listening to the experiences of the people who worked with Michael. I have just found these interviews an plan on listening to others. So nice to hear positive and funny experiences in these troubled times. Thank you Red !
YOOOOOO Its the goatee guy!!! omg!!! I only call him that cuz me and my little brother watched all the televised concerts of Micheal during the dangerous tour and he was always there!!! and always looked like the lieutenant from Star Trek next generation lmao
Eddie Garcia was there with Michael Jackson was definitely in his prime destroying the whole world on tour breaking records on tour the Bad and Dangerous era is one of a kind I was a little kid at that time I remember like it was yesterday 💯
One of the best dancers that MJ ever had! Man, that lean the did on Smooth Criminal on Dangerous Tour with the arm close to the belly was only compared to MJ. He was awesome man! I’d like to meet him. Hey, I live in L.A. lol
Eddie was always my favorite dancer on any Michael tour. He had the presence and talent to perform every type of dance in the repertoire, especially the gangster in Smooth Criminal, his 'leans' were the best and most stylish, just take a look at them.
I didn't know that was you on Saved By The Bell that was one of my favorite shows on TV as a child and you did a excellent job playing your part too on the show I remember that episode 💯
He was dating Tiffani Thiessen at that time. I remember having a huge bigger crush on Eddie then any of the guys on Saved by the bell , I was even shocked he was on it ( he was huge star and his life was kept private ) but I read it was a last minute thing he was there visiting his girlfriend at the time Tiffani. Been a fan of Eddie and Mj BEFORE Saved by bell thou.
@@Karazorel.Ms.PG1.1 wait I’m confused. Do you mean that Eddie was dating the red haired teenage late 80s singer name Tiffany? She went to the same high school a lot of kids from my first through eighth grade school went to and that I thought I was going to but then they closed it down. What a small world.
no sorry he dated Tiffani Thiessen in past who was on Saved by Bell who played Kelly ..but now eddie is happily married to his beautiful and awesome wife ( her name remain unknown )
What a wonderful, kind, lighthearted and inspirational interview this is! Both you and Eddie Garcia are truly amazing and wonderful! Thank you both so much!!!😍❤️❤️❤️❤️💫✨
Michael was cognizant of who he was, because he paid attention to greatness. Those spins he did in Janet's video was eye catching I remember that too. But its funny I noticed him in Smooth Criminal before this interview. Michael paid attention to the details. A friend of mine was in Bad and Smooth Criminal. He said Michael didn't want to work with his Brother. Only one of the Brothers. He's the guy Michael Blow the dust in his face from the Cue Ball at the pool table. He was the one who broke the pool stick.
@@misterhappy5462 he did the flip and they froze it. Also towards the end when Michael was coming up the Subway stairs. He was flipping backwards several times.
Yes She does, she is known for her choreography At first, hand with the lakers and then started working with the jacksons. And then later on with her own music. So she is very known and not underrated.
Could you maybe interview Pop 'N Taco aka Bruno Falcon from "Breakin'"? He was MJ's popping instructor and can be seen on "Captain EO", "Smooth Criminal" and "Ghosts"
Hey Red, I’ve been wondering what some of Michael’s dancers could share of working with him. I’m seeing lots of things I never knew of. Fascinating! Thank you for bringing out from behind the scenes all the things goin on! You’re a great host. God bless you and congratulations on your achievements. 😊😎👏
I've always wondeerd why Remember The Time was not performed on tour. Big hit, great video, & stellar choreography but now I get it. Too bad MJ didn't consider a shortned version of it and maybe combine it with In The Closet.
41:02 i remember loving him in those pants/ his pants. I ( 44:57- 44:58) want a autograph. Iam on eastern side of usa. Their dance moves were so perfect. Vincent is soooo amazing tooo.
Does he have any infomation about him and the other MJ 's dancer. Wow we love the same dancers -me and Eddie. Love Paula Abdul - I watched her dancers too like Dominic Lucero. Love Love Janet Jackson. I enjoyed watching and copying Eddie over the years. He is a perfect amazing dancer. They are the ones who was my teachers I copied them.
I follow Eddie on all of those and youtube and on some dance studios..iam not on twitter or tik tok.. thats funny upside down pizza. Is Eddie coming back to update us ?
I loved how he warms up the audience at the Yokohama'show in 87' : " Konbanwa Yokohamaaaaaaaa..." with a hoarse voice and a weird but fire accent ! In the middle of the "Shake your body" song. ruclips.net/video/PiFe1Z1Dt7A/видео.html
Wish there was a event - where MJ's dancers ,choreographers perform and do autographs n meet fans - i love all Mj's dancers but the oldest ones ( Eddie,Levelle,jamie ) randy- Rip Dominic &MJ miss you ❤)my fave esp also Cris or they get togather in perform MJ old dance choreography like Janet's dancers did with her dancers.Hopefully Jamie, Eddie,Yuki,Vincent, Randy,Levelle,Michelle- hopefully Micheal Delorenzo ( Beat it) too and it would be great Linda Landon too she danced with MJ in Smooth Crimnal vedio. Also KevinStea ( Dangerous tour) Hopefully they remember the ones no longer with us only spiritually:Mj Dominic,Taco, Micheal Peters❤ It want ever happen but I really hope it will. Love Travis,Courtney,Rich&Tone too. I have always watched dancers ,tried or did successfully learn their names to follow their career and copy / learn most their moves. Had crushes on some. Since I was very small- i have love dancing and watching dancers.
@@raulpopa4196 Unh ??? I love Randy Allaire he is mentioned with the other dancers in my comments. He is a great dancer. I typed his name in my old above comment.I stated Randy right before I stated ,RIP MJ & Dominic. Randy is mentioned in all my comments and is still is one of my fave dancers
Only seen a couple of your interviews so far but how they should be, so many well known people in thd uk at least ask silly questions, its all about their own ego or interrupt all the time, adults seem worse at it! (Interviewers i mean by the way)
I'd love to hear if he has any stories about the quick costume changes Michael did between Working Day and Night and Beat It on the BAD and Dangerous tours. Eddie was the one who theatrically pulled away the sheet revealing the empty chair where Michael sat moments before. They must have done a LOT of rehearsals for that to work as well as it did on stage. What was it like being part of that illusion?
What was it like doing the Lean live on tour? With the speed of the choreography, was it difficult to find the right spot and get locked in on time?
Looking forward to this, thanks! 🙂

Yeah I like that the dancer is all about the substance and not about the fame and celebrity and stardom. He turned out well! :-)
@@davidmichaels362 very good to hear that.
yeah if you was not a dancers/dance fan or never watched dancers - also if dancers never danced in music vedioes,shows ,movies...ect. - dance/ dancer fan here
I would know who he was
He’s my jazz dance teacher!!! He’s so down to earth and funny, and he always has the craziest stories
i always wondered who the guys were in MJ's Dance crew. Thank you for the video i now know one of the dancers.

I love working day or night too...i always really love also Wanna be starting something ...and beat it .. i love when the d songs also that Jackson 5 done before.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I used to look at the dancers from WHYDFML by Janet I always wondered who that Dancer was and it turned out to be Eddie Garcia. I always said, why they never focused on the dancers we never knew and I could never find out who some of them were, now I know that was Eddie Garcia. I kept saying what happened to that one Dancer in Janet's video but never saw him again. He was everywhere and I didn't even know it!!!!!!😊😊😊
Speed Demon was a song I played more on the Bad Album as a child along with the Moonwalker movie that was on VHS the short film video for it so underrated song and video 💯 #classic #timeless
I know right!! It’s such a great song & video!!
I like hearing each of the dancer’s experiences and how they got into the business and what they achieved! Each of them are so talented and Each have their own experiences!!!! I had no idea this was the guy from Saved By The Bell and in the Janet videos….GREAT story!!!!!!!!!
I met Eddie in NJ when he was in Guys Next Door at the Garden State Mall. Stand-up guy, so nice, and killer smile. Magic Night was my favorite video of his.
Wow never realised he was in Saved by the Bell 😂 I used to watch this every week when i was a kid. Great guest; love his energy.
I loved the dangerous tour. The dance breakdown in jam I'd replay so many times till the VCR tape would get jammed lol
❤ I still keep MJ & his dancers appearances on repeat over n over also Mj 's songs
GREAT INTERVIEW! I saw Eddie Garcia's name in a different MJ video about the bad tour and decided to see if there is any interviews. So glad I found this interview. I've learned so much.
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed! 😁🙏
@@RedJacksonDance your channel seriously needs more views. I myself make videos and have a few popular MJ ones.
Thank you so much! Please feel free to share it 😉😁
I’ll have to check our your channel!!
😁😁Yes, thankfully the credits were included on the video, that's how I found out who everyone is. I want to hear from all of them. What an iconic concert tour!!! 🙏So thankful for Eddie Garcia!!! What a great guy!
Om goodness only 4 mins in and had to comment. Saved by the Bell aaaaaah, yes it was showed in the UK and I loved it. My childhood oh my days didn't know that...... woohoo
Greetings from Japan! (^^) Thank you so much for posting this wonderful clip. When I was 12, I watched Yokohama concert on TV. I watched it at least 10,000 times until the video casette tape was totally worn out and cut it. The show was the best show in my life. I didn't know the name of his backup dancers till last year, but I found their names on the Internet. Eddie is so friendly and cheerful and it's against my expectation! (^^) Eddie is also very proffestional, I mean. I really enjoy watching this clip! Thank you so much!
Wow! It’s so nice to hear that! Thank you so much for watching and supporting my videos! 😁🙏
I had no idea I would watch this interview for as long as I did, wow so glad to have done so, what a gem of a guy Eddie is, so accomplished and so humble with it. Such an engaging interview, felt like I learnt so much from a perspective we never really get to hear of. Thank you :-)
I did wander if he got married or had kids but i never asked because i thought it would be rude. I hope Eddie and his love ones has a safe and peaceful holidays. Iam glad MJ ,Eddie was in my life.
I think Eddie is the funniest on the stage during performances. ( 1:13). Love Mj outfits in this vedio. Mj best outfits ( Bad tour also History Tour Smooth Crimnal). Yeah I agree with Eddie a team. I wish him and his wife put out more stuff. Eddie got a wonderful personality/ attidude.
❤❤This is the interview I was hoping to find!! I was dying to hear from the dancers on the BAD Tour!! SO flippin' AWESOME!! I love the "Shake Your Body" clips, that act was so funny!
I had no clue Eddie was so young! Wow. It seems a lot of kids in Hollywood got emancipated from their parents. Interesting bit of info, there.
How exciting to hear from Eddie Garcia!!! He has so much respect for Michael Jackson!
❤LOTS OF LOVE❤
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate it. Please subscribe and check out some of my other videos, you might like my interview with LaVelle Smith Jr, MJ’s longtime dancer and choreographer on all the tours and also some videos!
@@RedJacksonDance Hi Red! Just seeing your comment because I'm rewatching this interview.
I've watched a lot of your videos. You're making history! I did see the interview with Lavelle, too. He's one of my FAVORITE people. He makes me cry. He loves MJ so much. I find myself refering to MJ in the present tense, also, as Lavelle said he does. I don't know why I do it. I think it's because I really have a heart for Michael, and he shouldn't have been taken from us (and his children) so early. People are so cruel.😢
Lavelle did a wonderful video a while back about the false accusers slandering him when MJ can't defend himself. I felt Lavelle's pain, for real. What a beautiful man he is. MJ had some really great people who worked with him, they stayed with him for decades! The BAD Tour group, especially!
Man i watched Breakin as a kid , it has a lot of key people that have been involved with Michael in video or live including Boogaloo Shrimp who helped Michael with the Back slide (moonwalk) . Thank you Eddie for taking time to chat with Red it helps us fans learn more about the king of pop
Amazing interview ..how lucky being MJ dancer... good luck ..
Great Job Guys !! I Love and Respect my Brother Eddie Garcia, he is an Amazing Human being that happens to be talented. Much Love and Best Wishes Brother.
I was so honored to have been a part of your show!!!
Oh my gosh I remember hearing the name Dupree dance school when I was taking lessons in La Habra (N. OC) 80s and early 90s what a blast from the past. lol I can’t remember the details but I heard it was the place that the kids who wanted to become pros went to.
I had a dance teacher named Lisa Stone who had just been in 2 Janet Jackson videos and worked with Paul Abdul right before she came to our studio in the late 80s. I don’t know if Eddie might have known her at some point. I have such fond memories of her from my childhood! She was the only good dance teacher we ever had there and I suddenly became such a good dancer for the first time in my life and it was so fulfilling.
And thank you so much for giving an interview about the substance of the artistry because it’s almost always been the case that all interviews about MJ are just about superficial aspects of who he was as a person instead of about him as an artist and trying to get information about the substance of what he actually did is almost impossible, including from people who worked with him.
Or the people can’t think objectively and just spend the whole time idealizing a human being and sound like sycophants.
It’s so sad that all of the personal stuff just seemed to totally overshadow everything else. Thank you for your great interview! :-)
Thanks for doing this interview; it was informative and enjoyable.
Such a great guy! Infectious enthusiasm, great dancer, and crazy that you've been as much a part of my life as Michael coz I was watching you as a kid the 80s like I watch Michael and Janet 😭
What an Incredible and informative interview!! Thank you so much @redjackson and Mr Garcia for a window into touring with Michael and such special sharing of the magic of dance. So uplifting and important for the world right now!
Eddie is soo amazing!!!! He is my fave dancer still. I looked up to him..he was my dance teacher..so glad kids,Cris,janet,mj and ect has/ had eddie ..he is so postive ! Eddie trained me .( one of them definitely one of my best and number 1 dance teacher and one of my very first dance teacher on tv..Eddie is funny "grateful for " "my dog". I love animals too😁 Did he say his dog was name Indian Jones ?😁 That is sooo sweet "feel good about themself and be good people ". I agree with everything Eddie say 😁
Great interview, great stories, beautiful people, thanks!
Thank you Red Jackson for this amazing interview with Eddie Garcia 🙏 he is one of the luckiest persons on this earth to work with the great Michael Jackson and be so close to him , its amazing to see genuine poeple like him who are so talented and admire Michael so much professionally and personally, wish both of you all the best ❤🙏👑🤟🦋🌻
This is great Red, I’m 41 still a huge fan of Micheal and often you wonder about his old tour team and all the background things so this is awesome 🙌🏽 well done and thank you very insightful
I had the privilege to have Eddie Garcia as a dance teacher when I was on scholarship at Edge Performing Arts Center in Hollywood when I was 16. What an amazing edited video of all his work! Also cool to see Randy Allaire who also danced on tour with Michael who was the scholarship program director.
Dangerous tour & Bad tour my fave 4ever
So energetic!
Always fun listening to Eddie. Thank you.
Eddie Garcia was my fave dancer when i was little and I had crush on him. I love watching him dance.

what a great interview! Well done! Great questions! And wonderful answers!
Thank you so much! 😁🙏
Thank you Red for letting Eddie Garcia speak about his working experience with Michael Jackson. Great video again. Looking forward for more interviews of MJ's personnel, friends, and many more who love Michael as he is...
This interview was wonderful. Love listening to the experiences of the people who worked with Michael. I have just found these interviews an plan on listening to others. So nice to hear positive and funny experiences in these troubled times. Thank you Red !
Another great interview!
Loved this! Thank you!
I’m glad! It’s my pleasure :)
YOOOOOO Its the goatee guy!!! omg!!! I only call him that cuz me and my little brother watched all the televised concerts of Micheal during the dangerous tour and he was always there!!! and always looked like the lieutenant from Star Trek next generation lmao
É sempre maravilhoso ouvir as histórias daqueles que conviveram tão de perto com o Michael. Só confirma o qual especial foi.
😂😂🥰 love EDDIE !
💓
Eddie Garcia was there with Michael Jackson was definitely in his prime destroying the whole world on tour breaking records on tour the Bad and Dangerous era is one of a kind I was a little kid at that time I remember like it was yesterday 💯
One of the best dancers that MJ ever had! Man, that lean the did on Smooth Criminal on Dangerous Tour with the arm close to the belly was only compared to MJ. He was awesome man! I’d like to meet him. Hey, I live in L.A. lol
Agreed!!!! Glad you enjoyed the video! Feel free to subscribe and share :D
This was AWSOME ❣
What a fun and inspiring video! Eddie is an absolute gem and you did a great job as always, Red! Thanks to you both!
Great interview 👍🏻
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 😁
Eddie was always my favorite dancer on any Michael tour. He had the presence and talent to perform every type of dance in the repertoire, especially the gangster in Smooth Criminal, his 'leans' were the best and most stylish, just take a look at them.
Incredible interview with entertainment royalty🤩! Wow!
So cool! I love Eddie's energy ❤ Thanks for all these interviews!!
My pleasure! Eddie’s positivity is infectious, isn’t it!?
I didn't know that was you on Saved By The Bell that was one of my favorite shows on TV as a child and you did a excellent job playing your part too on the show I remember that episode 💯
He was dating Tiffani Thiessen at that time. I remember having a huge bigger crush on Eddie then any of the guys on Saved by the bell , I was even shocked he was on it ( he was huge star and his life was kept private ) but I read it was a last minute thing he was there visiting his girlfriend at the time Tiffani. Been a fan of Eddie and Mj BEFORE Saved by bell thou.
@@Karazorel.Ms.PG1.1 wait I’m confused. Do you mean that Eddie was dating the red haired teenage late 80s singer name Tiffany? She went to the same high school a lot of kids from my first through eighth grade school went to and that I thought I was going to but then they closed it down. What a small world.
no sorry he dated Tiffani Thiessen in past who was on Saved by Bell who played Kelly ..but now eddie is happily married to his beautiful and awesome wife ( her name remain unknown )
@@Karazorel.Ms.PG1.1same, I never realised, I probably would have had a bigger crush if I'd known 😂
Will they ever be a MJ 's dancers Reunion ? That be amazing !! The entry of the dancers on Jam was the best
That’d be supercool! 😎🙌
What a wonderful, kind, lighthearted and inspirational interview this is! Both you and Eddie Garcia are truly amazing and wonderful! Thank you both so much!!!😍❤️❤️❤️❤️💫✨
Great interview!
That means a lot! I appreciate it! Please check out some of my other interviews too - you might enjoy them 😎👍
Michael was cognizant of who he was, because he paid attention to greatness. Those spins he did in Janet's video was eye catching I remember that too. But its funny I noticed him in Smooth Criminal before this interview. Michael paid attention to the details. A friend of mine was in Bad and Smooth Criminal. He said Michael didn't want to work with his Brother. Only one of the Brothers. He's the guy Michael Blow the dust in his face from the Cue Ball at the pool table. He was the one who broke the pool stick.
That’s awesome!! Wow!!
...and what did he do in the "bad" video?
@misterhappy5462 watch my livestream today for another chat with Eddie! I’m live now on my channel!
@@misterhappy5462 he did the flip and they froze it. Also towards the end when Michael was coming up the Subway stairs. He was flipping backwards several times.
Super cool!!
Amazing interview
Great interview.
Great interview💪😎👍👍👍👍👍❤️
Excellent interview!!!
Salute to Paula Abdul she don't get enough credit as a choreography
Yeah, she’s amazing!! Thanks a lot for subscribing and watching too!! Means a lot 😁😁
@@RedJacksonDance U welcome and God Bless you 🙏🏿💯
Would be amazing if you could interview her x
Yes She does, she is known for her choreography At first, hand with the lakers and then started working with the jacksons. And then later on with her own music. So she is very known and not underrated.
Very interesting interview. Thank you :)
Sing it Mj & Eddie !
Thank you for doing this!
It’s my pleasure! Please share the video with other MJ fans on social media - it really helps!
@@RedJacksonDance I already did that!
Thanks so much!!
Love his energy
I know right!!
had no idea this guy/Eddie was 17-19 during this tour, i thought he was in his 30's 😆
Another awesome discussion ❤
Thank you so much!! Eddie is great, isn’t he!! Thanks for watching, please subscribe and check out some of my other videos :) 🙏💫
WOW!!! you do the BEST interviews!!!! keep up the AWESOME work!!! 😁❤️🙏
Thank you SO SO much for all of your support!! I really do appreciate you!! 🙌😎🙏😁
Is there anyone you’d like to see me interview? Any suggestions? :D :)
Could you maybe interview Pop 'N Taco aka Bruno Falcon from "Breakin'"? He was MJ's popping instructor and can be seen on "Captain EO", "Smooth Criminal" and "Ghosts"
I’d love to! I’ll try my best :) Thank you for your support and for watching!
Seeing this now breaks my heart💔
I know, right! Gone too soon :(
He has passed RIP Poppin Taco
Eddie has the BEST smile
Wish Eddie would do a tutorial on how to do that spin that was in Janet Jackson's Nasty Boys vedio ❤ Wish Eddie would do more interviews
Hey Red, I’ve been wondering what some of Michael’s dancers could share of working with him. I’m seeing lots of things I never knew of. Fascinating! Thank you for bringing out from behind the scenes all the things goin on! You’re a great host. God bless you and congratulations on your achievements. 😊😎👏
I've always wondeerd why Remember The Time was not performed on tour. Big hit, great video, & stellar choreography but now I get it. Too bad MJ didn't consider a shortned version of it and maybe combine it with In The Closet.
Lmao, that is so awesome that he appreciated your spinning
Just need footage of RTT from that Germany show :)
Absolutely!! Hopefully it’ll surface one day!! Thanks for watching. Please subscribe and check out some of my other videos too 😁🙏💫
Did you dance along side Dominic Lucero (RIP)?
yes he did. Eddie and Dominic was MJ original backup dancers / singers along with Levelle and Randy. Rip MJ & Dominic & Taco
@@Karazorel.Ms.PG1.1 Thank you!
Wow, im English and loved saved by the bell, im over 50 now..
41:02 i remember loving him in those pants/ his pants. I ( 44:57- 44:58) want a autograph. Iam on eastern side of usa. Their dance moves were so perfect. Vincent is soooo amazing tooo.
Does he have any infomation about him and the other MJ 's dancer. Wow we love the same dancers -me and Eddie. Love Paula Abdul - I watched her dancers too like Dominic Lucero. Love Love Janet Jackson. I enjoyed watching and copying Eddie over the years. He is a perfect amazing dancer. They are the ones who was my teachers I copied them.
He’s awesome, isn’t he!? 😁
O dançarino de MJ mais lindo !
Ele e o Randy allaire os mais lindos
I never realised that MJ replaced his 4 brothers with 4 dancers 😂
He should have done this early in 1984.
I follow Eddie on all of those and youtube and on some dance studios..iam not on twitter or tik tok.. thats funny upside down pizza. Is Eddie coming back to update us ?
I wanted you to ask him why he was not in the 3 stage of the dangerous tour in 1993
Sorry! Next time! 😁 Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed anyway 🙏
I Want to know how Was the Bad World Tour and how Michael was out of the stage during the Bad World Tour :)
Thank you for your comment! We cover the Bad Tour loads in the interview, so stay tuned! I really hope you’ll enjoy it!! 😁😁
Check out my latest video for more info on the Bad Tour era!
I loved how he warms up the audience at the Yokohama'show in 87' : " Konbanwa Yokohamaaaaaaaa..." with a hoarse voice and a weird but fire accent ! In the middle of the "Shake your body" song.

They did Remember The Time at the Soul Train Awards
They did!
❤❤
Wish there was a event - where MJ's dancers ,choreographers perform and do autographs n meet fans - i love all Mj's dancers but the oldest ones ( Eddie,Levelle,jamie ) randy- Rip Dominic &MJ miss you ❤)my fave esp also Cris or they get togather in perform MJ old dance choreography like Janet's dancers did with her dancers.Hopefully Jamie, Eddie,Yuki,Vincent, Randy,Levelle,Michelle- hopefully Micheal Delorenzo ( Beat it) too and it would be great Linda Landon too she danced with MJ in Smooth Crimnal vedio. Also KevinStea ( Dangerous tour) Hopefully they remember the ones no longer with us only spiritually:Mj Dominic,Taco, Micheal Peters❤ It want ever happen but I really hope it will. Love Travis,Courtney,Rich&Tone too. I have always watched dancers ,tried or did successfully learn their names to follow their career and copy / learn most their moves. Had crushes on some. Since I was very small- i have love dancing and watching dancers.
In all your replies, you seem to do not like Randy. Why ?
@@raulpopa4196 Unh ??? I love Randy Allaire he is mentioned with the other dancers in my comments. He is a great dancer. I typed his name in my old above comment.I stated Randy right before I stated ,RIP MJ & Dominic. Randy is mentioned in all my comments and is still is one of my fave dancers
@@raulpopa4196 that is false about me- i love Randy Allaire too he is mentioned in my comments. Also i followed his dance career
Only seen a couple of your interviews so far but how they should be, so many well known people in thd uk at least ask silly questions, its all about their own ego or interrupt all the time, adults seem worse at it! (Interviewers i mean by the way)
Thank you for watching! I appreciate it.
A dangerous Champaign bottle 😮
did they really do remember the time once on tour
Thanks for watching! Yes, Eddie says so! 😁👍🏻
