Moonwalk (dance) Moonwalk (dance) The moonwalk is a dance move in which the dancer moves backwards while seemingly walking forwards. A popping move, the moonwalk became popular around the world after Michael Jackson performed it during a performance of "Billie Jean" on "," broadcast May 16, 1983. It became his signature move. An illusion is involved in creating the appearance of the dancer gliding backwards. Initially, the front foot is held flat on the ground, while the back foot is in a tiptoe position. The flat front foot remains on the ground but is slid lightly and smoothly backward past the tip-toe
Autobiography conformed to them. Another autobiography of the period is "De vita propria", by the Italian mathematician, physician and astrologer Gerolamo Cardano (1574). It is often claimed that the earliest known autobiography in English is the early 15th-century "Book of Margery Kempe", describing among other things Kempe's pilgrimage to the Holy Land and visit to Rome although it is, at best, only a partial autobiography and arguably more a memoir of religious experiences. The book remained in manuscript and was not published until 1936. Possibly the first publicly available autobiography written in English was Captan John Smith's autobiography published in 1630
