Learn the moonwalk 5 ways

Two young dancers, Caszper Candidate and Cooley Jaxson, who taught it to him directly. In 1979, Caszper and Cooley had appeared on Soul Train. They performed a dance called the Boogaloo, named after a street-dancing group, the Electric Boogaloos. For four minutes, dressed in black, they ignored the laws of gravity and physics, pulling off hip thrusts and acrobatic leaps set to MJ's "Workin' Day and Night." Caszper and Cooley aren't sure how their dance clip came to Michael Jackson's attention, but they suspect he watched the show as it aired — it was his song, after all. Some of those moves, particularly the pelvic thrusts and sideways motions that make dancers' legs look like rubber bands, had already landed in the "Beat It" video. As he was preparing for his Motown 25 performance, Michael asked one of his managers to track down the duo. Jaxson, auditioning for Sesame Street Live in San Francisco, flew to Los Angeles, where he met Candidate at a large rehearsal space. A boom box sat on the floor. Michael introduced himself. They talked for five hours. All he wanted to talk about was the backslide. "Where did it come from?" he kept asking. "Where did it start?"
