-- How to Moonwalk --
1. Start by putting on a pair of socks so you have as little friction as possible while you're learning.
2. Then, standing on a smooth surface, place one foot directly in front of the other. You want the width between your legs to be about 4 inches, which will help you keep your balance.
3. Next, lift your back heel up so you're standing on your toes. When you're ready, slide your front foot straight back so it passes behind your other foot.
4. Now, lift your back heel up while simultaneously lowering your front heel down.
5. Once you've done that, slide your front foot straight back so it passes behind your other foot.
6. From there, lift your back heel while dropping your front heel at the same time.
7. Put it all together by smoothly alternating which foot you use to slide backwards, and you're moonwalking!
