Michael Jackson Video of Moonwalk

The moonwalk was a signature move of the King of Pop.

While researching to write the content for the History of Michael Jackson I became very curious as to where this dance move came from. As my source, wikipedia was very informative with the history of the moonwalk.
Here's some trivia about the moonwalk:

  • First known as the back slide or "walking on your toes".

  • Originated from dancer Fer Ramos.

  • A similar move can be remembered from the Blues Brothers when James Brown used the move in this 1980 film.

  • Jackson first performed the "moonwalk" in 1983 when he preformed live on the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever Special. Jackson showed off the “moonwalk” while singing "Billie Jean".



Now watch Billie Jean Best Ever Moonwalk, it appears since his first moonwalk he perfected it beyond our imagination!
