Ciara took to Instagram on Jan. 23 to pay tribute to the King of Pop Michael Jackson by imitating his classic dance moves to his 1991 chart-topping song “Remember the Time.”
The singer — who is dressed in a white bathrobe — swayed effortlessly around the room while singing along to the hit. She captioned the post, “Woke up and felt like Groovin a little 🥰 #Saturday#Dance#MJ.” Although Ciara received rave reviews for the commendation, many people were fascinated by her “bright” aura.
“Your happiness is so infectious💛💛”
“Cici can do no wrong😍💕 beautiful person with a beautiful soul💕”
“This is the energy of happiness I aspire to have…”
“Her energy is amazingly beautiful 😍😍😍”
“You are always there with joy. Putting smiles on faces and laughter in our throats. 😘”
While fans mentioned Ciara’s mood, others brought up her ability as a dancer. One wrote about how the 35-year-old is one of the best in the entertainment industry. “Best female dancer, tell me I’m wrong I got time.”
Another said they are always amazed at Ciara’s moves. “She got the whole dance routine down!!! Never get tired of seeing you dance!!💃🏽💃🏽.”
An Instagram user pointed out how the entertainer hardly gets recognized as a dancer compared to artists like Chris Bown.”Everyone praises Chris Brown for his dancing, but I’ve always thought you mastered rhythm and dancing closest to MJ the MOST. I truly think @ciara doesn’t get the recognition she deserves because she’s a woman.”
In a 2016 interview, Ciara opened up about her inspiration for dancing. She said, “I’m honestly inspired by the everyday person that goes out and dances. I call it street dance. Honestly, when I grew up, I was never trained to dance. I never took any dance classes, but I was that young girl that had big dreams. I really really loved dancing clearly, it’s a big part of what I do. My inspiration comes from street dancing.”
