Both artists rehearsed dancing for 8 hours till they could perform their routines automatically. People that have worked with both of them have observed that they "transcended the choreography." This of course is not easy. Both are incredibly talented and hardworking at their craft.
Michael inspired some of his dance moves in Fred Astaire. One of his choreographers had him dance to folk dances, tap and any type of dance to give him the broadest dance repertoire possible.
Britney's live performances require a professional athlete's level of fitness. To regain her figure after becoming a mom she hired a personal trainer who focused on her core combining ball catching, squats, running, treadmill and banana berry protein shakes. In just 8 weeks she surpassed her own expectations and was ready to perform her Femme Fatale tour. To maintain her figure she alternates swimming , 90 minute power yoga sessions, weight lifting, stretches and of course, dancing. She has not completely eliminated junk food from her life but is only allowed to snack on peaches, and eat egg whites, sushi, wheat toast and avocados, which are good for her skin. She diets 6 days a week and has a cheat day on Sunday, which she uses to indulge on sweets.
