Man on the Moon – A Tribute to the King of Pop

This summer, Strut Performing Arts proudly presents our 9th Annual Summer Production, Man on the Moon — an electrifying tribute to one of the most iconic entertainers in the history of the world… Michael Jackson. From the moment the first beat drops, audiences will be taken on a journey through the music, movement, and magic of the artist who forever changed the face of entertainment. Known across the globe as The King of Pop, Michael Jackson was not simply a performer… he was a revolution. A visionary. A once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon whose influence still shapes music, dance, fashion, and pop culture today. At just six years old, Michael Jackson stepped onto the stage with The Jackson 5 and quickly became a dominant force in popular music. By the time he launched his solo career, he would go on to break every record imaginable. His album Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time, and his signature style – from the moonwalk to the robot, from the glove to the fedora – became symbols recognized in every corner of the world. Michael Jackson didn’t just perform music… He felt it. He lived it. He transformed it into movement that told stories without words. Every turn, every beat, every pose meant something… and through his passion, generations of artists were inspired to dream bigger, move stronger, and create without limits. His sound shaped pop, hip-hop, R&B, rock, and contemporary dance, and his legacy continues to live on every time the music starts, and the lights hit the stage. Growing up in homes filled with music, creativity, and artistic influence, we were raised on the sounds of legends like Michael Jackson. Those late nights dancing in the living room, rewinding songs just to learn one more step, and putting on backyard performances for our families sparked a passion that still drives us today. We are forever grateful to the parents who turned up the music, encouraged imagination, and never stopped believing in the power of movement, expression, and dreams. Those moments led us here… to this stage, to this production, and to the journey we now share with every dancer who walks through our doors. This Summer, we invite you to sit back, feel the energy, and experience the music in a way only dancers can bring to life. This is more than a show. More than a tribute. More than a performance. It is a celebration of the artist who proved that greatness lives somewhere between the beat… and the moonlight. Get ready to be amazed. Get ready to feel the magic. Get ready for Man on the Moon.
