How the Moonwalk Works

In this episode, Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating history of the moonwalk dance move, tracing its origins all the way back to the 1930s with Cab Calloway and exploring how it evolved through tap dancers, mimes, and street dancers before Michael Jackson popularized it on national television. They break down the technical aspects of how to actually moonwalk, discuss the various dancers who influenced the move like Jeffrey Daniel from Shalamar and the broader context of popping, locking, and breakdancing as entirely new art forms that emerged during their lifetime. It's a fun journey through dance history that shows how this iconic move wasn't invented by one person but rather developed through a chain of creative influences across decades.
