moonwalking

Moonwalking is a dance move that creates the illusion of gliding or floating backward across the floor, as if defying gravity. It involves smoothly shifting weight from one foot to the other, while simultaneously sliding the front foot backward with the heel raised, and then positioning the feet to maintain the illusion of effortless movement. The skill relies on precise balance, timing, and fluid motion to make it appear as if the dancer is walking forward while actually moving backward. It’s a popular move made famous by Michael Jackson and is a showcase of dancer control and finesse.
