How to moon dance

Moonwalk dance move Tutorial for beginners

Here are 2 FREE videos that will teach you the footwork of Michael Jackson’s famous moonwalk dance move.

The moonwalk dance move is one of the coolest hip hop moves you can learn – but despite looking so easy, it is quite hard to execute. These videos are meant to be watched in sequence so that you can learn everything from the ground up.

1. Overview of the footwork

Text Summary:
Here Matt Steffanina starts you off understanding how to move your feet in the correct sequence. Start with one foot on the ball of the foot and have the other foot flat. Then, use the pressure on the floor to slide the the flat foot back, and then switch feet. Slide and switch, slide and switch. The “Switch” is very important and as Matt mentions it needs to be fast so that you can get power into the floor. And at the very end you will just need to work on making the glides longer and make it all flow.

2. Tips and exercises for your moonwalk

Video Transcript
All right guys today’s lesson is the moonwalk. All right? Made popular by Michael Jackson, it’s been around for a while. The originated move is called the back slide. So I’m going to teach it to you today in a few steps. Let’s get it!

All right. Step one. I’m going to introduce you to a few things to keep in mind while you are learning this move.

Some tips and tricks: All right the tip for the moonwalk is the balls of your feet. So make sure when you are gliding you practice on the balls of your feet. Later on you can get real high and use it one the tips of your toes, but for now remember, the balls of your feet. That’s going to be a good way to train and work on your balance shifting from foot to foot.

All right step two is going to be a really helpful and easy exercise to do to help enhance your moonwalk. An exercise like this – will help the technique of your moonwalk – the smoothness of it. The higher you look off the air the more smoother moonwalk you do have.

Step three: In place moonwalk – Check this out, it’s going to help a lot. The first one I want you guys to practice – the in-place moonwalk. Choose left or right foot, place it, on the tippy-toe balls of the feet, and then just slide back-, slide in one place.
All right one of the most helpful steps is this step four – and it’s called a slide and switch. When you guys get that down, the next one I want you to do is the slide and switch. It’s like a training wheel for your moonwalk. Okay?

What I want you to do – slide – switch, slide – switch, slide – switch, slide… simple enough. Again, and when I start practicing I would probably go in small motions, don’t slide too much – maybe take little slides, little steps — just so you can practice shifting the weight and the trick to it is shifting the weight – that switch and your best slide. [Quietly demonstrates].

So remember, slide/switch, slide/switch — little tricks and exercises just to work on your balance and transition and hey – you’ll be moonwalking in no time, all right guys!

Eternal dance, or why the moon changes all the time • Over a cup of coffee

(Absolutely unscientific fairy tale)

During the Great Chaos, everything in the Universe moved in random order. This led to the death of entire worlds: planets crashed, stars exploded, galaxies died. And then the Cosmos came and stopped the movement. Everything froze, only the stars continued to pulsate, illuminating the space around them. But the general stop led to a new disaster: hot stars mercilessly burned their neighbors. They would have gladly stopped doing this, but it was beyond their power to contain the murderous energy. nine0009

The Young Moon could not stand still for long: she was small, and the Sun was mercilessly hot. Luna tried to turn the other side, and when she succeeded, she felt relieved. Then she began to spin, evenly warming up and cooling down. The pulsation of the Sun set the rhythm, from which the music awakened inside the Moon, and she enjoyed her dance.

Convinced that circling helps, the Moon decided to share the discovery with the rest of the planets. She looked at the Earth - the planet closest to it - and was horrified by what was happening: on the illuminated side, the Earth was torn apart by explosions and hot lava flows, and the dark half of the planet was squeezed by permafrost ticks, and only on the border of light and darkness did a few plants and animals somehow exist. and people. It is impossible to delay, and the Moon invited the Earth to spin with her. The earth refused in a weak voice:
Don't even ask me to dance with you. Look, I have one side in burns, and the other in ice, all living things will soon die. This is the end.

But Luna was determined: she knew for sure that she could help. And then she turned to the people:
- I need a person who can sew a dress for me.
And people remembered that on the edge of the village there lives a woman who sews clothes for people, animals and trees, and they called her.
- Hello, Luna, - the woman appeared in front of the moon ball, - my name is Sevina. I think I can make you a dress. nine0017 - Dear Sevina, I know how to save your world, but you need to hurry. Can you start work right now?
The seamstress thought about it, it was not an easy task, and the people around were waiting for her answer with hope.
"Okay," Sevina nodded, "let's do it."

And the men went to the edge of the dark side of the planet and asked Heaven to give them some of its star tissue. And women on the bright side of the planet caught the thin rays of the sun and wound them on coils. The moon softened the light of the sun and directed it to the seamstress's workplace so that she could see better. nine0017 For three days and three nights, Sevina sewed a heavenly outfit, and when the work was completed, Luna tried on the dress. The puffy skirt flowed down in soft waves, and when the moon tried to spin, the dress opened up in a wide starry fan.

The moon turned to the Earth again:
— Earth, dear, let's try to turn with you a few times. I will help you, - and the Moon waved her puffy skirt, creating a cosmic wind. The earth felt cool on its burned side, and it became easier. She turned. Then again. And the Moon in a slow dance walked around the Earth, waving the hem of her dress. The frozen side of the planet began to thaw. Gradually, slowly, the Moon drew the planet into a dance. The earth suddenly also felt the cosmic rhythm and began to spin more boldly. She was so inspired that she offered to dance around the Sun. nine0009

The other planets watched the pair of girlfriends with surprise and fear, but the sincere laughter of the Earth and the Moon inspired the other planets to try to join the dance. Soon all the planets led a friendly round dance around the Sun.

Since then, the Moon does not spin around its axis, it dances around the Earth and waves the dress. Each swing hides the moon, but then she straightens the dress, and we see her silver disk, which illuminates the work of Sevina, and she sews a new outfit.
