A bunch of cool old videos from the early half of the 20th century showing some startlingly similar dance moves that the King of Pop used.

  • Pretty sure that was Cab Calloway

    doing the Moon Walk off the stage at 0:40-45. I went to school with his daughter Lael. She sure was cute.

  • Great collection!

    Good job with these videos. Full 5 Stars!
    I wonder how many MJ fans realize that he may have been a good dancer, but he didn't invent his moves from scratch. For instance, Fred Astaire was far more creative on the dance floor!

    • who cares???!!!

      we all realize that... but its about the execution, speed and precision etc.........being the best dancer, is about making the move better then its creator.creators of moves are taken as artistical directors and NO WAY as pro dancers..MJ was both and he excelled at being the best pro. dancer to ever come.. go see him in action and not compilation videos. watch a concert from start to end. see what it means to perform.

    • ...

      he may have not invented the moon walk but he was still an amazing dancer... i'd like to see you try to match his style and speed on a dancefloor

    • well marblewonder......

      i have been told i do have some good dance moves but i don't need to go out and display myself that way. again i repeat "I have been told" not that i am saying that myself.
      MJ was just lucky that when he did the moon dance move people took notice of it. some people have tried to give MJ credit for coming up with the move. that's what this video is all about it has been around for a long time.
      so marblewonder why don't we get together and see who is a better dancer just the two of us......for myself i can say only that i can move on the dance floor.

    • miktys, are you......

      talking out both sides of your mouth? by your responses you sound like you adore MJ then you sound like you despise him which is it? YOU are one silly person just from your responses, why don't you get an EDUCATION! you sound like you need to go back to school but first start from Kindergarden so you get the full learning process down.
      just to be CLEAR MJ was not the greatest dancer or performer their were others who were better than him and before him. He just copied from those who came before him, with the moves. In reality he was just one SICK individual and fools like you thought he was the greatest.

    • reallly!!

      of course he didnt...80 % of his moves are not his...but its not about creating moves that makes u a better dancer....ITS HOW U DO EACH MOVE!! TECHNIQUE, SPEED, PRECISION ETC... WHEN IT COMES TO A BETTER DANCER ..ITS THE GOD OF MUSIC AND DANCE MICHAEL!!!!!!!!HE CAN DO ANY MOVE BETTER THAN ITS CREATOR!! HE IS JUST OUT OF THIS FREAKING WORLD WE LIVE IN!!! HE DOESNT DESERVE US..

    • Mikty5.......

      at least you are honest in stateing tyhat Mj didn't create most of his dance moves he just improved them from other performers. just like someone will come along and improve MJ's dance moves.
      as for your comment "he doesn't deserve us" he actually does because without people like yourself he would not have been noticed. he would be just like you or me normal people who could move on the dance floor.

    • no one

      MJ didnt improve them only haha improve....

      HE took it a place where not even proffesional dancers of today can match..20 year olds...watch timor steffens on youtube and see what he says about the KING...btw he was rehearsing with MJ, and he is one of the best dancers right now int he world..
