Hello, thanks for checking out my channel! What is it all about? Well, I don't really have a "channel theme" per se. Here 'll just be doing all sorts of stuff, from random videos, acting, weird humour, dance, expression, view points on various topics, vlogs and arm chair philosophy.
Right now I have very limited space and options for both filming and content creation, so do excuse the low quality of production here. Hoping that shall change in the future.
*The saying is, "good artists borrow, great artists steal" is basically misunderstood by everyone. It means when a great artist replicates what someone else has already done, they're able to represent it in such a way that all those watching believe they invented it.*
Yall is missing *Resortes* a Mexican actor with the title "KING OF DANCE" that did the moonwalk in 1959 movie called "Escuela de Verano". Cab Calloway and CHarlie Chaplin were the first ones but it was a more rough version not as smooth. MJ perfected the moonwalk which is why so many believe he "invented" it but all he did was just improve on a old dance move. Im pretty sure he studied all versions to get the final product.
I've seen the footage of him, and don't consider his move to be an actual backslide in the manner this move was performed, but he's just shuffling his feet.
If you wanna add more intensity and scale to the duel, there’s a bunch of deleted fight footage in a documentary, as well as different angles. One of when Luke is pushing Vader to the stairway, and when he’s aggressing him to the walkway. Great stuff
This is why presentation is so important! They did a lot of MJ’s moves long before he did. Difference was in is attire and how he presented it. All these old dancers wore the same clothes that was just the fashion at the time that would naturally become outdated and forgotten after a while. MJ picked something that was unique yet timeless with black and white attire and the one of a kind black fedora. And then on top of that dancing in a spotlight! Of course the music counts too. But the moves including the moonwalk looked more impressive because of the overall presentation. Not to mention calling it the ‘moonwalk’ and not some unimaginative name like ‘backslide’ sounded much cooler and was always going to catch on like wildfire. For me MJ was a genius for his marketing skills and that’s what shot him to mega stardom!
The oldest film I know is from 1930, but not even that group claim to have invented it! No one knows how old the back slide may be! Yet Micheal Jackson did the moonwalk that was inspired by the back slide and other dances!
According to Southern Swords, this is actually the John Barnett model. There were some harsh corners round the knuckle bow and quillon on mine that needed breaking with a Dremel, but otherwise a fine sword for the money. Heavy, but that's not a bad thing when training.
Michael Jackson ramane un geniu, pentru ca a stiut sa ia cate un pic de la fiecare si sa-si creeze propiul stil, care este perfect. Nu vreau sa jignesc, insa MJ a luat ceea ce altii o luau in gluma si mistocareala și a transformat în perfecțiune.
Eclipse gets the credit for best representation of the dance move, and performing it in a way nobody really has on screen. The foot flow and friction to the floor was near perfect during leg transitioning. Literal best representation of what the move actually is, and how it can be manipulated into any direction with practice.
I’m not sure which, but there’s a scripture that says: “Thy servant hath defied nature by perambulating in the manner of the nightly orb. And the Lord did grin. Amen!” 🙏
Shout out to all the pop lockers from the 80's especially from Dallas TX...U funk productions Rip Ushay the Dj...The Star Studded Strutters....Major Harris, Gerald , Levert awesome dancers.... The Box heads....back in the day these guys ruled The dance scene in Dallas 80's Disco Joe...Rocket Pros...and of course King Arthur! The only pop locking hip flexing shocking and locking Ballet dancer.
there are no new dances, just revamping of the way they are done. for example, James Brown only had five dance moves that he did over and over again,IJS.
Micheal Jackson couldn't even do it as good as those other brothers. He gave Fred, James and Javkie Robinson their due honors, but the lesser known brothers he straight up stole from them. Thats why them devils did his ass in.
