The famous Moonwalk !!

The moonwalk or backslide is a dance technique that presents the illusion of the dancer being pulled backwards while attempting to walk forward. A breakdancing move, it became popular around the world after Michael Jackson executed the dance move during a performance of "Billie Jean" on Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever on March 25, 1983. It subsequently became his signature move, and is now one of the best-known dance techniques in the world.


How to do the moonwalk:

An illusion is involved in creating the appearance of the dancer gliding. At first the dancer draws attention to the leg being pulled up but moves the leg behind it back and transfers the weight on to it. The leg with weight on it goes up and the steps are repeated over and over.
