This is an accepted version of this page Wade Jeremy William Robson (born 17 September 1982) is an Australian dancer and choreographer.

He began performing as a dancer at age five, and has directed music videos and world tours for pop acts such as NSYNC and Britney Spears.

Michael Jackson assisted them in the move and recruited Robson to appear in three music videos: "Black or White", "Jam", and "Heal the World".

Along with friend DeWayne Turrentine, he formed the hip-hop duo Quo and by the end of the year released an album on Jackson's MJJ Music label[7] through Epic/SME Records.

[7] During the late 1990s, while still a teenager, Robson choreographed Spears's Pepsi commercials, including one which aired during Super Bowl 35.

The song's copyright is held jointly by Robson's and Timberlake's respective companies, WaJeRo Sound and Tennman Tunes.

The show's executive producer Nigel Lythgoe called it "absolutely genius, brilliant, and one of those routines that we will remember on this series for a very long time".

Spears's team said that Robson had only been hired to choreograph the promotional tour for her album 2008 Circus, which ended in Japan in December 2008.

[20] After Jackson's death in 2009, Robson said: "His music, his movement, his personal words of inspiration and encouragement and his unconditional love will live inside of me forever.

[21] Robson said his earlier denial was due to Jackson's "complete manipulation and brainwashing",[20] and that his change of story was provoked by becoming a father and experiencing nervous breakdowns.

[21] The allegations by Robson and another man, James Safechuck, are the focus of the 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland.

It was revived in 2019 after a new law gave those who allege childhood sexual abuse longer to file lawsuits.

The case was dismissed again in April 2021, when a judge ruled that Jackson's companies had no legal duty to protect Robson.

[22] This ruling was overturned in August 2023 in a decision in Safechuck v. MJJ Productions, clearing the way for a trial.
