People love to bust out their favorite moves on the dance floor, and one of the most popular classic dance moves is the moonwalk. The moonwalk became part of American pop-culture when it was preformed by Michael Jackson during the 1980's. When moonwalking, the dancer appears to be taking steps forward but is actually gliding backward. Be stylish and clever by preforming the moonwalk in a pair of Radii Moonwalkers. Radii Footwear is a California-based shoe company that was created in 2008. Radii's Moonwalker shoe is a high top sneaker that that first came out in black with leather and an ankle strap.
Instructions
1. Clear a space that has recently polished floors or another smooth surface. You do not want much grip between your shoe and the floor when you moonwalk, so it is important to use a surface that will allow you to slide. You also want enough room to dance.
2. Place one foot about a shoe length in front of the other, and lift its heel into the air. Keep your toe touching the floor. The other foot should still be flat on the floor.
3. Push back with the foot that has its heel in the air, keeping the heel in the air while you do so. Have all the weight on that foot. You, with your other foot still flat on the ground, will be pushed back by this process. Once you have moved back about a foot, your weight will naturally want to shift to the other foot.
4. Switch heels and repeat the process. The previously flat foot will now have all of the weight on it and its heel in the air. The illusion of moonwalking requires perfecting the speed at which you move and switch heels. Through practice, you can find the right speed for you to make it work.
