How to spin like Michael Jackson 

nobody can dance like Michael Jackson...he was the best,he is and he will always be!RIP!Love you so much Michael

MJ has his arms both at his front when he spins, plus his starting technique with his foot is different. If you watch carefully he puts one foot around the other one then uses that leg position as a slingshot to spin around. Not many people replicate this properly. This is a good tutorial but it's not quite accurate. I studied MJ videos to get it down, but I haven't seen a tutorial that has done MJ justice. Gotta do it yourself sometimes!

The hee hee at the end was cringeworthy

Lol the hehe at the end always gets to me and I just burst out laughing

lol, i laughed when she said 'stopping' as if u can keep spinning forever xD

mj does a little jump before spinning you know

*As the most unlikely candidate, I easily mastered a spin on my right heel with the left foot on top of it. This is the most difficult spot but only took about 20 minutes to jet through it at Michael's blurring speed. I see now Michael does it on the balls of his feet, heels and even does switch foot through a bedazzling set of spin.*

Anthony is the MAN. He brings real respect to the memory of the King.

Omg that hehe did not work out

Very difficult

I remember one time MJ did like 10 spins in seconds. It was awesome!

thanks for posting..my 8 year old daughter wanted to learn this move for a performance..so she practiced while watching...now she has it.

Step 10 - get someone who can ACTUALLY dance like Michael Jackson to demonstrate. Clown.

he is spinning in his grave

wow great job! .. its amazing how mj created so many moves, the best moves in the world, he was the best choreographer, dancer! he's inspired so many ppl around the world, to dance like him, he was truly our king! r.i.p. mj

you are so good anthony

thanks anthony king it helped a lot

The best shot is in Smooth Criminal video when he spins on the table top. The left foot's toe is in contact, the whole right foot is skimming but not touching all the way around the spin. He decides how many spins there will be and to finish, pops up his whole body from the left toe and then plants either whole foot or tips of toes into the mid-air lunge, depending on the music

This is soooooo much fun!!! thank you!!

he'd love this! Its cool cause so many people wanna know how to dance like MJ now...good job guys!

michael jackson's spin is way better then everyone's no one can do a perfect imitation of how awesome his spin is

i know when im having a bad day i can count on the 'VideoJug' people can make me laugh

MJs spin has no equal. its the smoothest spin I have ever seen.

best tutorial so far!

Thanks for a great series, lots of great moves are covered in clear detail. AAA+

this is amazing

Video Jug ROCKKKKKKKS

thanks for the lesson

Nice! Very helpful

I tried this spin at nauseum as a kid and a teenager, more than 30 years ago. I have watched MJ do that signature spin since he was a teenager and I was a little kid, & used to get dizzy as hell trying to do it. i used to have dreams of doing it correctly. This guy in the video's feet look just like MJ's when he did it. I have not seen any other entertainer pull off this spin like MJ. Not even Prince. It's the only move that has remained a part of MJ's arsenal since 1974.

AWESOME MOVES!!! 5/5!

nice job!

Very good !

ooh god...these videos remember me when i started to practice so i could dance like michael jackson..and now because of hard training and a lot of time i can do it ( yaaaay!! ) ..but even now i find it dificult to do the spins

awsome i can do almost all of the mj moves thnxs

i did it on the first try. sweeeettt. thanks so much for the video. lots of help a bit more practice but i got it. no need for slow motion. spoke too soon.

Thank you for posting this video. It really helped a lot. Thanks to you, I'm a spinning machine!! LoL Please post more videos. Blessings and Love to you!!

awesome!!!!!!!

RIP! No one else can spin like you, except for that little kid in "Smooth Criminal".

no one can ever dance like michael jackson did. RIP MJ

very helpful video to the fellows who are trying hard to be at par with the the king of pop MICHAEL JACKSON

Hell yes! I finally got it!

This guy is good in breaking down those classic MJ steps :D and if you look at those old MJ vidoes when he does those spins, he does lift his feet, ever so slightly

wow thats awesome , looks cool , really nice spinning :DD

WOW thanks really good

thats a cool move like it thx for that guy's help!!!!!

Very cool

lol the girl at the end of the video "HEE HEEHEE" (attempting to do the MJ impression but fails epically)

MJ 4 ever. Everybody can try, no one will succeed like him. He rules.

thanks guys

awesome

Nice tutorial

good teacher

Nice Video!

hahhahaha @ "dont launch this on the public until you're confident that you can pull it off without damage" LOL

cause michael jackson says hee hee in his song and michael laugs like that

nice dance!

No body like Michael Jackson, he is the best POP dancer ever.... R.I.P We will never forget you... From Serbia....

this thing really works even though he is dead we can still remember him

so sweet.

I always wanted to know how to do this.

1:15 to 1:35 is the useful part of this video, the rest isn't super necessary

this is pretty good. congratulations! m.j. 4eva

man anthony king u rule

I LOVE U MICHAEL JACKSON..... your music will live on forever R.I.P

the manliness! its too much!

thx 4 da vid its awsome yay!

he is not dead as long as we remember him within our hearts :)

thats amazing he`s good, too good

I often wonder which one MJ was the greatest of, Dancing, singing, entertaining, psychology, or what. He was just too good at all of them.

TY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been wondering how he does it so well so.......when he spins like 5 times it's always on a super slick surface? ALSO, does he have special shoes to do it?

R.I.P from NEWZEALAND! we love you1 and you will never ever ever be forgotton

best ever!!

i tried this on shoes i just spin 2 times and falls down...maybe thats why the narrator said "dont get too ambitious" or maybe just like that, the "one step at a time" nice teacher bro! thanks for teaching us!

I did not understand everything ! Think I'm gonna keep watching him doing this so well. there is no one like MJ and will not be an artist like him ever. ART is eternal and crosses the centuries. THANK YOU MICHAEL

no, there will only ever be one King of Pop.

awsome

COOL! I LOVE U!!

omg you make it sound so complicated i can do it but when i hear you say it all thats in my mind is " ? "

Woah I just tried it and itsso fun! I think I might of done 3 spins hehe!!

there's no one in the whole world who can spin like michael jackson

lol i liked how he said old socks xD you probably knew your socks are gonna tear after that :)
