I just have no words. He was the GREATEST and being only 3 years older than me, a peer at least in age. If I weren't at work I'd be crying harder than the mere eye-watering happening now. This man is irreplaceable and underrated and unsung and it's high time there was much, much more recognition for his contributions as one of the pioneers and choreographers who changed dance for all time.

I need to know more about this guy! Why did he die broke and when and why did he stop working for M.J.? I ask with love and respect and in no way mean to be hurtful or disrespectful. Why is his family asking for financial help to bury him? M.J. helped pay for the funerals of all sorts of black people. P.P. & Bigi have no interest in doing so? What gives?

@@alexkx8599 That's a good question. I saw a brief interview with Falcon where he was asked why he was leaving the MJ tour and his answer was quite shifty. I deeply believe he was unnerved by something and decided to nearly quit dance. He disappeared from the scene late 90s-early 00s and then you could tell he was rusty. He came back fully by 2002 but just to showcase and then later, teach a bit in Europe. He took a big hit because dance just doesn't pay unless you are like him lucky enough to tour with someone like MJ. So, his choice made him as poor as any other starving artist. Just my two cents, and I believe I'm right. There should be a big fundraiser for his family. He was a star and a real innovator who should be credited up there with the greatest of choreographers.

@@floraline7153 With all due respect I think we should be real careful about saying he was unnerved by something...which COULD have happened and been the case but I in no way think that that had to have been so either. It could have been simply issues of business, something else (an injury), or what have you. Those tours HAD to be HIGHLY stressful on all people involved. 0 chance that they were not as miraculous, beautiful, and victorious as I thought that they were. The guy from Shalamar (I can't remember his name) who worked with him helping to teach Michael how to dance said that Michael was VERY generous with what he was paid. This doesn't mean Taco was bad just to clarify. Good, smart, careful people can make mistakes and fall upon hard times.

Since then, Taco became his choreographer and personal dance adviser for 18 years. There are some interviews with Taco where he explains how he had taught MJ some moves like the famous sidewalk( the lateral slide). MJ and Taco Two Legends !!!

I wish I'd known about his other appearances & his dance classes. A lot of time's passed but I get to look at what he did. He's so smooth & his body moves like liquid.

Actually the lean is done using a special contraption built into the floor; the dancers hooked the bottom of a special shoe into the floor so they could do the impossible lean. When they got up from the learn, they unhooked their shoe and then danced as normal. Leaning that far is physically impossible, but it was possible with the secret trick.

Taco a great popper. But, he did not teach MJ how to dance. MJ had Taco sign a exclusive contract that Taco teach him certain aspects of popping. Taco was MJ popping instrutor and choreographer for over 10 yrs. Part of that agreement was also Taco couldn't teach no one else nor do street battles. That's why you never saw Taco show his moves. Especially in The movie Breaking" Check out! M.J battles Usher or M.J in Japan. You can tell nothinh but Taco influence..his hits and animation were Taco..
