Answer 2

The moonwalk or backslide is a physically complicated dance technique that gained widespread popularity after being performed by Michael Jackson on the 1983 television special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever, and has since become his signature move. The purpose of the moonwalk is to give the illusion that the dancer is stepping forward while actually moving backward.

The move commonly referred to as the moonwalk today was originally known as the backslide. The original illusion was used as a mime movement, created by the late Tony Montanaro, a professional mime and understudy to Marcel Marceau.

Answer 8

ROTFLOL, Louis Armstrong's 1969 moonwalk, he was less than a month away from his 68th birthday, just a little too old to be in the space program. Don't get me wrong I have always thought he was a great musician and a great person. I think you meant Neil Armstrong. I reason they may not look alike is the moon's gravity is a lot less than earth's and Armstrong was wearing a big, bulky spacesuit.

Have a nice day.
