On tonight's Dancing With the Stars, a very touching tribute to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson was done by the 16 professional dancers on the show. Michael Jackson's family, including his mother Katherine, sister LaToya, and brother Jermaine were in attendance. LaToya Jackson gave a very brief introduction before the dancers took to the floor. Perhaps the most exciting part of the tribute was when the professionals performed the 'Thriller' dance.
Many of the dancers in the segment prior discussed what a tremendous impact Michael Jackson has had on music, and dancers everywhere. Karina Smirnoff said that "we have lost the father of dance."
