Origins of the Moonwalk

I expect this to get posted everywhere. It's flat out amazing. Especially that guy with the chef's hat starting at 2:47...





I don't take anything away from MJ and his moonwalk or that "Smooth Criminal" video (that takes direct inspiration from the end of "The Band Wagon") or any of his dancing. I think he incorporated certain moves into what he did and built on them. I just hope that people can also appreciate the earlier dancers who came before...
