This animated infographic will teach you how to Moonwalk

by Tyler Munro

There’s no shortage of new dances you can groove to when out at the club. But whether you’re still mastering the Dougie or you’ve moved onto the Nae Nae, one dance still rules them all more than 30 years after Michael Jackson popularized—but didn’t invent it—on a Motown television special.

Yes, we’re talking about the Moonwalk, that one dance you’ve been trying unsuccessfully to nail since the “Black or White” video was still in heavy rotation. And iconic as it is, let’s face it: You still probably struggle to pull it off. That said, there’s no better time than the present to nail the surprisingly simple move down, and a new info graphic—or as FastCo calls it, Gifographic—by artist Jacob O’Neal is destined to help you master it.
