Dominique "Mikette" Wilson: Newark, NJ's First Female Michael Jackson Tribute/Impersonator!

New Jersey Talent all the Way!!!!



Here's her story:

Dominique Wilson had to be no older than four years old when she discovered her love for Michael Jackson. She remembers watching "The Wiz" and "Moonwalker" listening to his records and watching his music videos on television. The very first dance routine she learned was "Thriller" and that was to help her overcome her fear of the zombies. Then she began teaching herself the moonwalk not too far later at the age of seven.
What inspires her about Michael is that he is a genius in his own right. He dared to be different and whatever he did, he broke down barriers. He has done so much for music and for mankind as well. He inspires her to follow her heart and be true to herself.



For her to be a Tribute Artist is to not only learn his dance moves but to show the world the impact Michael has to make changes and to show love. Being a Tribute Artist is to pay tribute to Michael and promote the same love and spirit he did to the world. Also to show that Michael Jackson will live forever.



December 18, 2011, Dominique "Mikette" Wilson received a Resolution from the city of Newark, NJ for her unwavering and heartfelt commitment to the West Ward within the city of Newark, NJ. She has received a Certificate of Appreciation as well for her participation in the One Ward, One Family Dinner event. She is also acknowledged as being the first female Michael Jackson Tribute/Impersonator in the city and her name, Dominique "Mikette" Wilson will be archived in Newark's history. She has performed in many local events, even at the Greater Newark Conservancy's Fall Block Party and before many elected officials within the city of Newark and one of New Jersey's State Senators Ronald Rice, Sr. In the words of Mikette, "I'm turning Newark, NJ into Newark, MJ!"

Flashback Movie: Dance With Me

I just fell in love with movie the first time I laid eyes on it back in 1998. I don't know what caught my eyes more, the smooth dance moves or Chayanne's beautiful smile. The chemistry could not have been better between him and the gorgeous and talented Vanessa Williams. When I had it on VHS, I watched it so many times that I know the whole movie front and back and word for word. I also always wanted to join a Latin dance class to learn the moves. So glad it is airing back on cable.



The theme of the movie is a young man, Rafael, from Cuba moves to America after his mother dies. He wants to know more about his family life. In the process, he takes a job cleaning a dance studio with a close friend to his mother, John. There he meets so many interesting people, including Ruby. She's a dance instructor who competes professionally in Latin dancing. Their first date together causes a bit of a problem between the two but eventually grows. Ruby then becomes scared to commit and she also has a son by a professional dancer, Julian, who has left them before. Will their relationship ever grow?



Then there is the relationship between Rafael and John. Rafael's mother has had an affair with an American man and this leaves Rafael to wonder if this man can be his real father. He also is confronted by John about the issue when he heard Ruby tell him what Rafael had said. But what could have happened. Is John his father for real?



The movies also packed with great music. I just love the soundtrack. There are so many different types of music that appears in the movie that all couldn't fit on the soundtrack. The dancers are wonderful and the dance sequences are enough to make you want to sign up for the next dance class. Then where ever there is dancing there are beautiful costumes. The colors and styles are definitely memorable. You are bound to fall in love with them. I know you will love this movie.
