Moonwalk: How to Dance Like Michael Jackson

Moonwalk

The moonwalk is a legendary dance move that Michael Jackson performed for the first time in 1983 at the famous Montown 25 concert. We've all tried to do it ourselves, but your moonwalk performance is probably nowhere near the level of the King of Pop. Nothing happens. If you want to learn how to moonwalk, we have a little school of the famous dance step for you, with which you will become the new Michael Jackson overnight.

Moonwalk is a dance move he popularized Michael Jackson, but the King of Pop didn't invent it. Neither did Neil Armstrong. A similar step appeared already in the 1930s, and was introduced by a dancer Bill Bailey. Jackson didn't own the move, and as he said in his autobiography, he learned a similar move from three boys on the street. One of them was a professional dancer Jeffrey Daniel, otherwise a member of the group Shalamar. He taught him the movement backslide, and Jackson upgraded it and renamed it moonwalk. Everything else is history and the dance "step" moonwalk is today famous as the first step on the moon.
