Nobody can do the same as MJ did the body language expression and integrity and the style and lifting up the crowd by his moves and dancing within themself and following with him he left that mark within every1 to hard to remove it
Holy crap! Thank you! Thank you so much Jacksonater! I was struggling badly with this move- After your tutorial, I got it within 10 minutes of practicing. You're the best!❤
Excellent, a detailed explanation where i don’t have to rewind every 5 seconds as well as explaining where to put your body weight. Very nice thank you so much!
I've been an MJ fan since 1987 and I'm almost 50. I've always wanted to dance like him but never had the patience. Now I'm in lockdown and watching your videos. I'm practising your videos and my kids think I am crazy. I don't care. I love your videos. Thank you
Thank you very much for your words. I'm really glad you find the videos useful and I'm happy you finally decided to give it a try in MJ dancing. Nothing but good can come out of it - really. :) I'm and MJ fan since 1989 when I first saw Moonwalker movie! Keep practicing and let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!
This is the best tutorial, very informative and details of the move. Thank you for sharing the education with us. I will definitely drill on my daily routine.

Hey Marina. 10x for the comment. I will be showing the combo moves pretty soon. Want to finish with the basic moves first and will get to the combo moves which include all body parts ;)
I like the first section with the heel/toe sidestep. I was watching the Dancing Machine solo on the Carol Burnett show and though it would be cool to try. His feet are mostly hidden by bell bottoms (the sleeves of his jacket were also flared and it was a great look combined with the slimness of the rest of the suit) though so it looks like he's floating across the floor. Each of the other parts of the rest of his routine is also tricky on its own, but then you have to do everything at once. The man could move. Do you think you could do a slowed down tutorial on the dance I'm talking about?
Hi I am a young MJ tribute act and I have a big show coming up very soon, do you know where I can buy slippery shoes that look like MJ's I can't find any anywhere pls help me
ND Productions there is a comment down below dedicated to this topic - Those are the shoes I use: www.ebay.com/itm/New-MICHAEL-JACKSON-REAL-LEATHER-DANCE-Billie-Jean-SHOES-MJ-COSTUME-/180917303985 The sole of the shoes is not made for sliding - it's made of rubber. I went to the shoe maker to fix them with a flat oxhide sole.
So it’s basically the XV move... in the beginning you basically start heels facing each other, then you skip the step of closing the toes together when your lead foot calls for it on the first move, then it proceeds to call for heels to close together, which then you dramatically step in the inactive foot to close heel because since you missed the toes it has to be “extra” & then you finish in the XV & repeat.
Ok I had to read your comment a few times in order to be sure that I understand it. And - yes - I think that you got it - it is correct what you wrote. It is the first time I find it difficult to understand my own video when I read it from someone's comment. :D :D :D But yes - you are right! You got it! :)
Jacksonator Thanks a lot for your response and great video. You definitely made me understand it, and I have been doing it for less than a day now and I’m getting it pretty good. I just need a few more days for it to stick in my head. I keep doing XV after I do it correctly the first time lol.
@@SkoniecznyMariusz I would say not to count steps. Learn the move and then experiment. Do not perform it as a memorized move. Try do feel when it is most comfortable for you to do it. It is about feeling what is right for you. I do not think Michael did it every time the same way and on the same timing in the song. However on "Dangerous" his first step is on "..friend of mine" as of "But you're no damn lover FRIEND of mine" and the first move is on the word "friend". However if you see enough Dangerous live performances you will see that he does it slightly different each time This is the real beauty of MJ dancing. So my answer is: do not count and don't try to do it on a specific word or in a specific moment. Just perform the move the best way you can and experiment. :) Choose you own timing for the move.
Many thinks they can dance like Michael jackson, and when they show dancesteps it looks something else. this one is exacly michael jackson dancestep. but you need to do it with less space between the legs and it will look better
Hey there, The shoes in the video are the same as the ones below.I bought them from ebay. www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xmichael+jackson+shoes.TRS0&_nkw=michael+jackson+shoes&_sacat=0 However I would not suggest you buy those shoes as their sole is rubber and it is impossible to slide. I had them modified at the shoemaker. He put an oxhide sole so that they can be suitable for sliding and MJ moves. You better buy loafers with semi/full oxhide sole - that's what Michael used while dancing. Hope this helps.
@@bharatgupta5308 Hi Bharat, there is no institute where I teach those moves. It was just some tutorials for fun and to help people understand maybe MJ moves a bit if they find it helpful. I'm from Eastern Europe country - Bulgaria. :)
What Eva you can perform few but can't be in a flow like Michael Jackson though I'm good a dancing and performing well ..! Bcoz that's him.. yu can learn the steps but you don't see the concept like him the way he smile the way he express himself the way he moves in stage and they way he knows the difference between stage and audience what audience looking for they always look for good quality that they can fulfill happiness in it
I totally agree. What I do is I try to learn form him and create my own style. Noone can be MJ. That's why I find it strange that there are a lot of impersonators with make up and wigs and clothes. No harm but it is clear that it was only one MJ! :)
Nice point there, but if you look really close, I do pick up my right leg and foot as well, it is just a bit but its there. ;) You are right that MJ sometimes picks his foot up more but on other occasions and live performances he barely lifts it. I have also studied this move deeper and discovered improvements which I have not yet shared but I intend to do so soon enough.
This is the most accurate explanation I found for this move
Congratulations. I have been dancing like Michael Jackson for more than 20 years and you are the best teacher for these kind of moves.
David Arnold thank you :)

Cool..... Good tutorial.
Thanks!
geat tutorial, could you show what to do with hands in this move?
Hey Marina. 10x for the comment. I will be showing the combo moves pretty soon. Want to finish with the basic moves first and will get to the combo moves which include all body parts ;)
thank you so much for this tutorial. this was really helpful but im still struggling a bit because i dont always dance and im a bit heavy.
Body structure does not matter in MJ dancing. Precision of moves and dance presence is what does the magic :)
I like the first section with the heel/toe sidestep. I was watching the Dancing Machine solo on the Carol Burnett show and though it would be cool to try. His feet are mostly hidden by bell bottoms (the sleeves of his jacket were also flared and it was a great look combined with the slimness of the rest of the suit) though so it looks like he's floating across the floor.

Do you think you could do a slowed down tutorial on the dance I'm talking about?
all you say is so true. and we all learn from the man.
Thank you so much
welcome :)
Too hard teacher.... M from india, Namaste
it is not hard - you just need to practice.

What kind of timing are you using? Which part is 1, 2 or &?
Hey, what do you mean what kind of timing?
@@Jacksonator If I want to do it to music, how do I count this step.
@@Jacksonator Which step is the beat?
@@SkoniecznyMariusz I would say not to count steps. Learn the move and then experiment. Do not perform it as a memorized move. Try do feel when it is most comfortable for you to do it.

what shoes do you use to dance
Hey there,
The shoes in the video are the same as the ones below.I bought them from ebay.
www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xmichael+jackson+shoes.TRS0&_nkw=michael+jackson+shoes&_sacat=0

You better buy loafers with semi/full oxhide sole - that's what Michael used while dancing.
Hope this helps.
Sir,,In this dance any shoes can be use???
Hi Bharat, yes you can do this move with whatever shoes you want. There is no sliding in here.
@@Jacksonator sir,, where are you from.
& any Institute of you in which I learn these dance live?

Me mj ka fan hunn sir
Please spin of MJ
there is a separate video for the spin in the channel. Look it up.
I really want to learn this footwork.What's its name?
hery there. There is no official name for this move. Some call it 3 step move. I prefer this name because it is based on the move's rhythm.
James brown shuffle

SHAMOAN TITO! SHAMOAN!!!
hahah yes!
And How Do You That .
Sounds like the song
Indeed. No casual moment in MJ dancing. It is all natural!
Plz reply
You mean the James Brown shuffle
Watched your video
Looking forward to seeing more clips from you! :)
SunshineStudiosTV Will be posting but not sure when :)
Thank you for the comment.
It’s James Brown move 😎👍🏽
Based...
that's the hardest mj move. especially for men. it's hard for me to controlling 2 legs at the same time.
Try remembering the beat of the move - pa PA pa pa. And it will be easier I think. At least that's how it was for me. :)
You pick up your left foot thats good but you don't pick up your right... dont be lazy lol pick them both up lol
Nice point there, but if you look really close, I do pick up my right leg and foot as well, it is just a bit but its there. ;) You are right that MJ sometimes picks his foot up more but on other occasions and live performances he barely lifts it. I have also studied this move deeper and discovered improvements which I have not yet shared but I intend to do so soon enough.
Thats the James Brown Shuffle.
nope, that's mj's , james brown just took the move from mj
now i understand, he played music with his feet
yes.
