Michael Jackson has hooked up with High School Musical director Kenny Ortega to mastermind his summer tour.

And the legendary choreographer, who has worked with Jacko on his previous Dangerous and HIStory tours, has reportedly come up with a new move to rival the moonwalk.

Asked about Michael's new moonwalk, concert boss Randy Philips said: "He's working on it, but I'm sworn to secrecy."

As well as masterminding the High School Musical phenomenon, Ortega has also created iconic dance routines for the Dirty Dancing movie and Madonna.

He said: "To be invited to partner him again is a dream come true. He is the most significant artist and entertainer of our generation."

Jacko's first show of his run of 50-dates at London's O2 is on July 8 and he is currently rehearsing along with ten dancers in California.

The budget for the shows is said to be around £13 million and they will include a setlist of 18-22 songs.
