First-Ever Moonwalk On Screen🚶‍♀️‍➡️

First ever moonwalk on-screen in the 1943 movie Cabin in the Sky. Michael Jackson didn't invent the moonwalk, he renamed it and made it immortal.

Cool thing about black people in general is how inately they seem connected with rhythm and timing and sound. It is remarkable!

If I'm not mistaken this was a form of tap dancing with sliding. It created a unique sound while tapping with each slide. This gave the illusion of what we now know is the moonwalk.

Charlie Chaplin did the smooth backslide in a film in the 1930's.

Michael's music and dance was mostly inspired by the very older artists. He did Charlie Chaplin and old French comedy, silent movies, clowns; you name it. 😅
