In this instructable i will teach you the theory and method of doing the moonwalk. The moonwalk is a dance that gives an illusion that you are walking but actually you are moving backwards. It's mechanics were invented by the mime marcel marceau but they were put to dance by michael jackson. Actually doing the moonwalk is simple you just need to practise and you can get really good at it.

Step 1: Mechanics

green = staying put
red = moving
blue = lifted up

Read the pictures for explanations of how it works.

And thats really all you need to know about doing the moonwalk!!

Step 2: Practice Makes Perfect!

you really just have to practice alot and discover how it works the best for you. Also doing the moonwalk works well on slippery surfaces so if you have some tile floor in your school or a wet deck on your boat (like in the video.)
