2. Michael Jackson
Pop star of the 1980s, Michael Jackson wowed audiences with eye-popping dance moves, notably one called the “moonwalk.” Michael displayed an amazing talent for rhythm and dance at a very young age.
The “moonwalk” followed by a tornado spin and then balancing up on his toes have since gone on to become Jackson’s trademark dance piece, and is virtually synonymous with the song. The performance sealed his position as a dance legend up against the likes of Fred Astaire. After one of his performances The New York Times stated “The moonwalk that he made famous is an apt metaphor for his dance style. How does he do it? As a technician, he is a great illusionist, a genuine mime. His ability to keep one leg straight as he glides while the other bends and seems to walk requires perfect timing”
