Learn How To Moonwalk - It's Easier Than You Think

The moonwalk was one of the dance moves immortalized by the late Michael Jackson. Although MJ was not the inventor of the move, he was the one who showcased the move beautifully in many of his songs. Countless people have tried their hand - or feet - at the moonwalk with varying degrees of success. If you want to learn how to moonwalk, here are a few tips.
Understand the technique thoroughly:

As MJ showed through his moves, perfect dance steps are as much about technical perfection as they are about grace. So, before you can learn to dance, you need to master the technique in your mind and then your body. The best way to do this is to observe MJ's moves as much as possible.

Imitate the moves:

Although this is easier when you watch the moves, here is a quick rundown of how to do the moon walk.

1.Stand with your feet perfectly straight.

2.Keeping your left heel and foot completely flat on the ground, lift the right heel so that the toes of your feet are only on the ground. The left foot should be about a foot in front of the right.

3.Now push the left foot back using the right foot. As you move the left foot back, keep the right heel up.

4.As the foot is pushed back, move the head forward slightly.

5.Swing your arms forward as you move backwards. So your right arm should go forwards as your left foot goes back.

6.After this, lift the left heel and touch the toes of your left foot to the ground and put the right heel flat and in front of the left.

7.Repeat movements of the head and arms.

Learn from an expert:

The best way to learn how to dance is to go to an expert. If you cannot go to a live class, do the next best thing. Get a dance DVD where you are taught how to moonwalk step by step. This is an excellent choice for those people who cannot go to a dance class. Many expert dancers release dance tutorials. In these tutorial DVDs, they explain complicated moves in a simple and easy manner. By copying the moves and following the instructions, it is possible to master the moonwalk quite quickly. Of course, it is important to buy high quality video from an accomplished dancer who is also into dance tutoring, if you want to reap the benefits quickly and easily. A dance video lesson allows you to learn at your own pace without any embarrassment or pressure to perform.

So, there you have it - the easiest way to learn the moonwalk!
