The ORIGIN of Michael Jackson's MOONWALK!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 січ 2022
- The Backslide, also known as the Moonwalk (renamed by MJ himself) is a dance move in which the performer glides backwards suggesting forward motion. There is no certain information about the real origins of that move, it goes back to the 1930s and it evolved into the street dance culture, most specifically as a Popping move, when it was officially called the backslide.
Michael Jackson got to learn this move after watching Eklypse's performance in Soul Train, which Geron "Caszper" Canidate was part of, and he taught Michael the basics of the backslide.
There was also a dance move called the Moonwalk, which was not the same as the backslide, they taught him both moves, but he remembered the "moonwalk" word, so when he got to perform it live, he connected the idea of moonwalk to the backslide, and that's how it got renamed.
Nowadays, the Moonwalk is directly associated to Michael Jackson, as one of his signature dance moves, since he popularized it in 1983.

RED JACKSON DANCE FULL INTERVIEW WITH CASZPER:
• NEVER BEFORE HEARD! Ho...
"...I had been practising the Moonwalk for some time, and it dawned on me in our kitchen that I would finally do the Moonwalk in public on Motown 25.
Now the Moonwalk was already out on the street by this time, but I enhanced it a little when I did it. It was born as a break-dance step, a "popping" type of thing that blacks kids had created dancing on the street corners in the ghetto.
Black people are truly innovative dancers; they create many of the new dances, pure and simple. So I said, "This is my chance to do it," and I did it.
These three kids taught it to me. They gave me the basics and I had been doing it a lot in private. I had practised it together with certain other steps.
All I was really sure of was that on the bridge to "Billie Jean" I was going to walk backward and forward at the same time, like walking on the moon".

It was awesome to work with you on this project! I’m so glad we could work together to share Caszper’s incredible story! I hope everyone enjoys the video :)
Thank you a lot for letting me use your content on this video, it really gave a better understanding for the story!
Friends! go watch Red Jackson's full interview on his channel!
@@MichaelJacksonMultiverse 🙏🙏😄😄
Can you interview with Jason Malachi or Eddie Cascio or James Porte about CascionTracks? Please🥺🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@nurislomyusupov Thanks for the suggestion! I'll see what I can do! :)
@@RedJacksonDance please, tell us the truth, tell us everything you can🥺🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Excellent.
Detail: Billie Jean's pants colored and lit on thumbnail as it would be in This Is It. great reference
:o I didnt know that
Michael Jackson was infinitely more than just 'the Moonwalk'.
i like how they were moonwalking to a michael jackson song before michael jackson did
That makes this story even more interesting
The irony
I love that you always hear about MJ giving credit. Today's artist would say "Oh it was just something I made up one day while messing around."
Can you name one artist who doesn't give credit for a specific example ? Jackson never gave credit publicly for the moonwalk. Wether in his autobiography or his interviews he would never say he was taught on private lessons and he never gave the names of his teachers. "The kids in the streets"... Yeah, yeah Michael, of course...
Nobody does the Moonwalk like Michael Jackson PERIOD! He perfected that move and MJ never took credit for the Moonwalk he said he got it from kids in the Ghetto which is true and there were other performers who did it before MJ but not like him plus it’s known as MJ’s move anyway😇🙌🏽👑🌟💫💯
Exactly 👌
Are Soul Train dancers kids from the ghetto? lol
@@mrpussinboots4252 Nah ur racist delusional and truly nonsensical about what u be saying in these comments get a life nigga and don’t ever put my name in ya mouth ever again I speak facts you’re just Anti MJ so just SHUT YA MOUTH🤡
@@Elena-er7zp There’s a difference between learning sum and getting inspiration from sum stop taking MJ’s words outta context he revived the Moonwalk it was extent and MJ even created the name “Moonwalk” so idk what’s your problem do ya research and search for the actual FACTS!✍🏽👑🎯💯
The originator of the moonwalk Bill Bailey does it as well or better.

I love it♥️ did knew of the origin of the moonwalk but really cool to hear it from the man himself, thanks for sharing this!
Bill Bailey is the originator of the moonwalk.

That 2009 Monwalk was for me simply the Best 😊😊
Finally I saw Casper! And long live the King!!!🌹
Michael Jackson is the Best Dancer and Best Singer in the World. No One Moves Like M.J . I Love So Much Michael Jackson ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
What a video! This channel is so great for such detailed and unique information. I love how comprehensive everything is.
Thank you a lot! I appreciate your opinion, stay tuned, there's much more to come!
@@MichaelJacksonMultiverse I hope so 💗
I hope this video mentions Jeffrey Daniel & The electric Boogaloo as Michael main teachers and inspiration for the moonwalk!
The electric boogaloos were a big inspiration! Popin Pete performed the first backslide in a music video. Jeffery Daniel, Cooley Jaxon & Caszper taught MJ the move, and I’m pretty sure Boogaloo Shrimp and Pop N Taco helped him perfect it in later years
@@RedJacksonDance Thank you Red for helping even more with your comments, you are very informative :D
@@RedJacksonDanceBill Bailey is the originator of the moonwalk. And I don't see anybody mentioning Bill Bailey's name.
ua-cam.com/video/y71njpDH3co/v-deo.html
it's weird that these other people did it, but when michael did it, suddenly the moonwalk was really popular and associated with him.
Nobody even cared about that move until michael did it in front of millions.
Rest In Peace King Of Pop
Well he did it better.Much better at getting that illusion out of that move.
The first time he did it at the Motown 25, you can't say it was very smooth. Jeffrey Daniel's was way better. He made it popular simply because it was watched by millions for the very first time. Then he perfected and the Victory tour moonwalk was just pure magic. His best ever I would say.
Get ready for CG to write a paragraph stating how this shows he was overrated because he didn’t invent it
lol I'm ready
@@MichaelJacksonMultiverse lmfao.
lol that’s a punk who lives in his basement just to discredit MJ... lol what a loser tbh
He's a nobody anyways. Now michael was a somebody 😊
You know how people are🤣🤣
*NOBODIES* moonwalk is as crisp as Michaels…those before him or after him cannot come close to his delivery!!
He makes the move become an illusion…everyone else is just dancing!!
After many years later, he still has the hairstyle
¡Gracias por tan excelente contenido! Es un trabajo muy minucioso y se valora con todo el corazón ❤️✨ los admiradores de Michael lo agradecemos.
🥺♥️♥️♥️
Love you Michael 💓
what about boogaloo shrimp. boogaloo shrimp had been moonwalking since 79. he helped Michael Jackson perfect the moonwalk making it look longer instead of shorter strides like in 1983 look at it compared to 84 and on it looks much better. he also taught mike the circle glide and forward moonwalk and side slide. there’s even a photo of the two where Michael was in disguise with him it just sucks because i feel like people don’t give him credit for anything
Yeah I just talked about how Michael first learned the backslide, but I could make a video of his enhancement of it, and him learning the variations.
@@MichaelJacksonMultiverse that would be amazing
A lot of people helped MJ enhance it! Boogaloo Shrimp, PopNTaco, Jeffery Daniel etc :D
This was soo informative!!! Thnx a lot 💕❤️
Incredible! 🤩👏
I know right! Caszper is great!
Love your videos! Keep up the awesome work!
I will! thank you a lot
Thank you for this video, very nice!!! ❤️ Michael is the best
The first moonwalk (backslide) is in the movie " Cabin in the Sky " in 1943 and performed by Bill Bailey, 12 years before 1954 and 40 years before 1983
I couldn't find the clips of that movie for the video, even though I did read there was a backslide in it
@@MichaelJacksonMultiverse is here at 3min08 ua-cam.com/video/Y8ZXkoRTI3Q/v-deo.html
An amazing video, as always ❤️
Es genial lo que estás haciendo con este canal 👍
Always thought Jeffrey Daniel was the one who taught him… and apparently Jeffrey Daniel did too! Thank u for this video, very insightful.
I think Jeffery Daniel taught Michael to perfect it later on? Along with Boogaloo Shrimp & PopNTaco :)
Dude this is the best video on UA-cam and like you say, at the end, I subscribe hahaha.
❤️🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
Increíble! Muy buen video Michael Jackson Multiverse y muy interesante!
マイケル頭良くて本当に天才ですね！ダンスと歌も上手いです。永遠のKing of pop!💕💐👍

Wonderful!
Thank you mom :3
Thank you for this wonderful video. I hadn't seen Caszper speak about the Moonwalk before. When did the backslide first become known as the Moonwalk? Was it before Motown 25 or did Michael come up with the new name?
Caszper explains in my full interview that MJ got confused between the names “backslide” and “moonwalk”. They were different moves, but MJ accidentally renamed the backslide the moonwalk. Feel free to check out the full interview if you’d like more info. Hope you enjoyed the video and getting to learn more about Caszper! :)
@@RedJacksonDance Thanks. I'm watching your interview right now!! :-)
@@MillisecondFalcon Thank you very much! Hoping you enjoy it!!!
U R AMAZING
Omg I loved this video, I didn't know that. Thank you
Спасибо большое вам за то что вы делаете вы напоминаете людям про маленького принца с его лунной походкой который превратился вырос В своём королевстве неверленд Доброго прекрасного короля Не устаю повторять за всё время своей жизни Майкл Джексон столько сделал хорошего его знали во всех уголках нашей огромной планеты вплоть до папуасов никто и никогда не получит столько наград статуэток за свои выступления как он Вам ещё раз говорю спасибо за то что не даёте забыть его и его Лунная походка Если бы я была волшебником загадала бы желание чтобы время Вернуть назад и Майкл снова вышел своей лунной походкой
this is fire wow🔥🔥💚💚
of course, I wanted to know the origin of the moonwalk and see Kaszper. That's why I keep this video for myself
Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Oh hell yeah! My request has been fulfilled! 😁👌🏻
Dioss,increíble este video
Amazing bro
Thanks for this video! Interesting and informative, only thing I'm not up to date on is exactly when the backslide was coined the "moonwalk"? Great video and thank you for your work and everyone participating and sharing! 😊👏🆒️

@@denaishumblyblessed8160 Thank you so much! It’s so cool to connect with other MJ fans! I agree, it’s always interesting to look back and see who or what inspired Michael! 😁

How beautiful is MoonWalk dance
It’s amazing!!
Wow
Great people n i hope they get the credit they deserve but Michael's Michael n King for a reason not only for moonwalk. He danced on the sound of a washing machine one n a half yrs old with a bottle in his hand told by his mother in her book. Plus he's more than just dancing a moonwalk for which the world knows n loves him.
Wow! Great History Lesson!
But Michael Boogaloo Shrimp Chambers AKA "Turbo" Was His Personal Instructor From Motown 25 To The Era of BAD.
Boogaloo Shrimp worked with MJ too! But Caszper was the first person to teach MJ the moonwalk 😁
Beautiful Michael Jackson l love you 💜💜💞💞💕💕💕👏👏👏👏💜💜💜✌✌✌
Conocimiento desbloqueado* 🖤
0:33 it’s so convenient that they’re moonwalking to another MJ song (probably my favorite from OTW)
3:10 Michael why are you doing this to me!
See MJ does his slightly different from them ALL where he would accelerated with an exaggeration of his head and neck movements in and out giving an illusion, whereas the rest accelerated using their shoulders & MJ would end on his tippy toes. Brilliant. A few minor changes differences that MJ’s implemented. ALL GOOD ‼️👍🏼
MJ is iconic!!
0:32 wait a second... is that "Working Day & Night" by Michael Jackson??
A big plot twist in this lifetime: The moonwalk was performed with Michael Jackson's music way before Michael Jackson did it.
@@MichaelJacksonMultiverse ... lol
Yes, it is!
I knew he wasn't the first to ever do it, but he OWN it🚶♂️🚶♂️🕺🕺, because he does it so smoothly, he stood on his tip toes, and kick that foot and hit the HEHEHE! SHAMONE! The rest just backslide 😂
Check out "the origins of moonwalk " video, dancers Cab Callaway, bill Robinson, sammy davis jr, Fred Astaire, etc. They Did it 35 years before Michael Jackson was even born , every move that Michael Jackson did in the moonwalk videos ,Bill Robinson did it the same thing, but better.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ Interesting how that Jeffrey dude isn't mentioned at all not even once🤔🤔
They gave credits to him but the one who taught MJ the moonwalk wasn't him, but they were from the same dance group. So it's all connected, only that they always talk about Jeffrey as he was the only one.
What about the dancer Anthony Daniel? I was under the impression he taught Michael Jackson the moonwalk/backslide. Anthony Daniel is in music videos and highlighted in several interviews for Michael. I have yet to hear of the dancer centered in this video to be the person to teach MJ the step.
Jeffery Daniel worked with Caszper on Soul Train, Smooth Criminal, Bad & more. I think he taught Mj the moonwalk later on and helped him perfect it. Check out Caszper’s interview on my channel for more info! :)
❤️
Awesome !
Where does the back up track come from, it sounds like some sort of live version of Billie Jean but without the audiance sound ?
It's my own edit!
@@MichaelJacksonMultiverse Well it's really really nice ! Is there a way for you to share it maybe ? That'd be awesome !
@@Grazzt Yes! since I'm working in a lot of musical projects, March will be a very creative month for my channel! stay tuned!
Everybody got ah phone calls 🙄
yes, back then there was no whatsapp or email
What’s funny is that his worst moonwalk other than 2001’s first show is the most famous one
It was his first, so probably because he hadn’t perfected it yet. After the show, he was unhappy with his dancing so perfected the move over the years
Eh, even that one, while being extremely short, had pretty great form at least. I still say Motown's is worse.
The real worst one is actually the second one during the Johannesburg Billie Jean performance, he literally twists his ankle while doing it.
También lo hizo primero "el resortes", muy conocido en México
Wait I’m confused so did he learn it from the man in the video, or did he learn it from black kids on the street.
These "street kids" were the popping/locking dancers who went to Soul Train and also the ones who didn't get recognition.
Geron Caszper Canidate, Jeffrey Daniel and Cooley Jaxon were the ones Michael saw on TV doing the backslide, they were street dancers who got the opportunity to be on Soul Train to show their talents and travel around the world over the years because of their pioneering and innovation on these dances!
They were not little kids, they were young kids but you understand what he meant! :D
@@MichaelJacksonMultiverse Ok
@@MJKing0929 you suppose to know your MJ KING😂😂😂😂 (JK)
Can you do french subtitles?
Done! :D Il y a encore quelques bugs, mais je vais les corriger.
@@MichaelJacksonMultiverse oh merci 🙏
Es Increíble Como Un Paso Como El BackSlide Que Era Simplemente deslizarse Para atrás Haya sido Transformado en una Completa Ilusión Óptica de Que Estas siendo Empujado para atrás (Caminando En La Luna) Por MJ
Porque sí,El paso existía,Pero Michael Lo reinventó,Lo Mejoró y Lo Transformó,Simplemente el mejor.
Huh, I always had assumed that Jeffery Daniel taught Michael the Moonwalk.
He was part of the Eklypse crew, he recluted Caszper and Cooley to dance in Soul Train, is also known Jeffrey taught many dance moves to Michael but not specifically the backslide.
I’m pretty sure he taught Michael some other moves, but I think he might’ve helped MJ perfect the moonwalk in later years? I could be wrong though. :)
@@RedJacksonDance Yes that's for sure! even the 360 slide, or the side-slide could have been the moves he taught Michael without being the backslide.
0:33 yet still there dancing to who?
Спасибо Я тысячу раз за вас готова подписаться это здорово когда вы общались с самим Майклом джексоном он получил от вас урок танца под названием лунная походка Он по честному сказал от кого он этому научился Дети
Это лучики солнца тепла и Майкл очень любил детей потому что в детстве ему не хватало любви да и детства не было отец был тиран Мама Кэтрин Джексон его любила но У неё были другие взгляды на жизнь она была набожный человек посещала церковь и Майкла приучала ходить на церковные службы Поэтому вырос прекрасный принц который стал королем всей планеты Майкла Джексона ждали везде его встречали и провожали как. Великого короля Я родилась в одно время с тобой Майкл и после твоей кончины не разу не видела чтоб народ всей планеты так. Кого-либо встречал ждал любил так сильно хотелось бы тебя обнять спасибо тебе за всё что ты делал для детей Низкий реверанс пред тобой да здравствует король
Bobby Brown taught Michael how to Moonwalk
This video is the fact
@@MichaelJacksonMultiverse ua-cam.com/video/74bOBpBrfCA/v-deo.html
bobby brown is also known for popularizing the running man and Michael also mentioned the running man on the oprah interview. Bobby taught him.
