Moonwalk
What is the "moonwalk"?
The moonwalk is a dance move where the dancer appears to glide backward while keeping their body facing forward. To perform the moonwalk, the dancer shifts their weight to one foot and slides the other foot backward while keeping it flat on the ground. This movement creates the illusion of smoothly moving backward, even though the dancer is actually stepping in a forward direction. The moonwalk requires careful control and coordination to maintain the illusion and is known for its impressive, fluid effect.
