How To Moonwalk

January 11, 2010 in Dance History

Time Magazine ran this piece which I came across and I thought I’d share it with 4dancers readers today. It breaks down the “moonwalk,” the famous dance step that Michael Jackson became known for.

I can still remember watching him in the 80′s and trying to mimic his dance steps. Coming from a strong ballet background, this was always a struggle for me.

I have to admit that I never mastered the moonwalk, but it doesn’t mean that I will stop trying. If you haven’t given it a go yet, now’s your chance.
