The so-called moonwalk is actually a visual illusion effect, that is, first put the toe of one foot on the ground, arch the leg, and raise the heel as high as possible; then the other foot touches the ground with the whole sole of the foot. Slide backward, with about 1 meter between the two feet. Lift the sliding heel and support it on the ground. The foot that was previously supported on the ground slides backward, and do this repeatedly. This dance step dates back to 1955. It is widely known for its use by Michael Jackson in his performance "Billie Jean" and became one of his trademarks. The magic of dance, the space step is based on the fulcrum of the foot. If you can, watch the ghost step more, it will also be of great help to you (the source of the space step and the ghost step)

Decomposition of the Jackson Moonwalk: ①Start with the left foot sliding back 30 centimeters, and then lift off with the left foot: ②Slide the right foot back 60 centimeters. Then lift up with your right foot. (Start) Breakdown: ③ Then slide your left foot back 45 cm and start. Move your right foot back 60 cm. And so on... Decomposition: ④Details are very important. Slide your left foot back while sliding. The shoulders also need to have a certain amount of twist. Slide your left foot and move your left shoulder slightly to the side and back. Slide your right foot and move your right shoulder slightly to the side. Decomposition: ⑤The coherence must be strong. The lifting and landing must be strong. You must be flexible when sliding backwards. Breakdown: ⑥Lean your body slightly forward while sliding. Prevent falling backwards or slipping. Breakdown: ⑦ According to the number of times the person likes to slide, he can turn N circles in succession and then touch the ground with both feet (master action). The best training essence of moonwalking, why not try it?
Step 1: Find a pair of tighter flat shoes. You can use soft-soled shoes at the beginning.
Step 2: Make sure the floor you practice on is not too rough and try to find a smooth floor.
Step 3: Stand with your feet together, with your left foot slightly forward than your right foot (the front of your right toes should be on the same line as the middle of your left toes).
Step 4: Then lift your right heel so that you look like you are walking and stand on the front of your right foot, keeping your left foot in place (be careful not to move, and you need to maintain balance).
Step 5: When you lower your right heel, shift all your weight to your right foot and slowly drag your left foot backward so that your left toes are even with your right heel. When doing this step, your left heel should be slightly off the ground, and don't step down with your left foot, otherwise you won't be able to slide. Make sure you slowly lower your right heel and move your left foot at the same time. Controlling speed takes a lot of practice.
Step 6: Keep practicing the above steps until you are sure that you can move without any obstacles.
Step 7: Once you've mastered the movement above, extend your left foot forward, but not touching the floor, making it look like you're kicking right against the ground. Move it one foot away from the front of your right toes. Do not raise any part of your left foot excessively.
Step 8: Move your left foot back to the starting position and lift your right heel again. Bend your left leg and repeat step 5. Keep practicing until you understand all the essence, can do it freely, and be recognized by others. The end result is that you can overcome gravity, so you can moonwalk like a pro.
Step 9: Once you have mastered bending your right foot, switch feet and try doing the same movement with your left foot. Lift your left heel and lower your left foot as you slide back with your right foot. Support your left foot, extend your right foot, then lift your left heel, and then slowly move your right foot back while lowering your left foot again.
