The moonwalk or backslide is a dance technique that presents the illusion that the dancer is stepping forward while actually moving backward.The dance gained worldwide popularity after Michael Jackson executed it during his performance of his song "Billie Jean" on the March 25, 1983, television special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever, and was considered his signature move. The moonwalk has since become one of the best known dance moves in the world.
