Host Corey Vidal teaches you how to dance like Michael Jackson.
This is the last 'How To Dance' video I will ever make. Michael Jackson was my inspiration for dancing, and I know that - like many other people around the world - I'd record his music videos onto a VHS tape and watch them over and over (and over and over).
This is me doing my best to offer something back. His spirit lives on through his music and his moves. Let's keep Michael alive for many generations to come.

MORE ON MICHAEL:
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 -- June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and philanthropist. Referred to as the King of Pop, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.
Thriller is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Michael Jackson. It was released on November 30, 1982 by Epic Records as the follow-up to Jackson's critically and commercially successful 1979 album Off the Wall. Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off the Wall, including pop, soul, R&B, rock and post-disco music.
"Billie Jean" is a dance-pop/R&B song by American recording artist Michael Jackson. It was written and composed by Jackson and produced by Quincy Jones (and co-produced by Jackson) for the singer's sixth solo album, Thriller (1982).
"Beat It" is a song written and performed by American recording artist Michael Jackson, and produced by Quincy Jones (with co-production by Jackson). It is the third single from the singer's sixth solo album, Thriller (1982). Dutch-American guitarist Eddie Van Halen was drafted to add the song's distinctive overdriven guitar solo. Following the successful chart performances of the Thriller singles "The Girl Is Mine" and "Billie Jean", "Beat It" was released on December 9, 1982 as the album's third single. The song was promoted with a short film that featured Jackson bringing two gangs together through the power of dance. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Finally someone who can actually teach
YEAH!
True
Yessir
Yes he is good at explaining
Ikr
nah dude. you don't look stupid at all. your tutorials are actually a lot more informational then most i have seen on here. you go by it step-by-step at an easy to understand pace. keep up the good work and help keep MJ's dream alive!
He's always saying this "..Michael Jackson is amazing." yes absolutely true. Maybe that's why I liked this man! hey I think you are amazing too.You did it!
+Aybüke Lavigne oh yeah! I liked him keep saying "Michael Jackson is amazing!" too :)
darknessofavril anyways MJ cannot be replaced or no other legend can imitate him😉😉😉
@@technicalboss3351 of they can imitate him
Just not the right way
Thanks now I can moonwalk and I'm doing it like a boss on school tables lol suspended but worth it
lol same XD
Jack Ripper true
Jack Ripper liar
lol
Lol FD
I cant believe this was 14 years ago. I really enjoyed the video. I'm 71 yo grandma and I decided I wanted to moonwalk. With you I got so much more and my friends are wowed. Thank you. You never really have to lose your cool!!! Thanks. 🤗❤
Everybody will like Micheal Jackson,Somebody will try of Micheal Jackson,But Nobody will do like Micheal jackson.
Murali M you had 4 chances to spell Michael correctly, blew both of them
@@BitsEUismynamelilbish hehe
I got one: nobody will why like michael jackson
@@BitsEUismynamelilbish both is 2 not 4

Being Michael Jackson, he turnes five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten times in a curcle. In my entire life i've managed to do three perfectly only a fee times because he's awesome and...l am not as much. Hahaha l love you:)
Actually, he usually did only three to five. During Motown 25, MJ wanted to do five spins, then do the toe stand and hold it. When he didn't do the toe stand like he wanted to, he cried afterwards.
WhosBadStudios Awwh. Poor Michael
oml i suck
@@whosbadstudios2382 toe stand was a lil sTrETCHY but it was still cool
@@whosbadstudios2382 7
7:12 "It makes no sense, but he's Michael Jackson. He's Amazing." Literally, the line made me smile for the rest of the video
Exactly the same for me!!!
Just so everyone knows, it IS possible to dance like Michael Jackson, but it would take a lifetime of practice. This guy here is just teaching you the moves that CAN be perfected by people other than MJ.
MICHAEL IS THE BEST ♥
Yeeeeeeeessssss?
The fact that MJ invented his own dance style still blows my mind 😂 the man was insanely talented
Ignore the haters. U were amazing
I love this dude...cracked me up but he a great teacher
I can't wait for this to come on in the club so I could moonwalk my ass off! lol
The self-deprecation is awesome. Also the time put into this. So lemme go watch MJ. Then I’ll revisit this video.
You're a real treat and I'm so glad I found this! This is such a perfect example of early TH-cam where it felt a little weird and shy to put yourself out there but looks like you've done ok for yourself Corey! Thank you for this!!!!
Corey Vidal, it would be impossible for me to not LOVE this video! I've been dancing for almost 3 years now, jumping from studio to studio and I have never been taught any of Michael Jackson's moves other than the Moonwalk. Thank you for this video! It was well constructed, I was able to pick up on it easily. You may not think you're that good of a dancer, but you are and you are one of those people that I absolutely love, the type of person that can have passion for what they do best :)
Only move I haven't seen so far is the moonwalk like spin he does but this is extremely helpful! Thank you! Stay awesome
Guys donot be jerks ...appreciate the time this guy dedicated and effort he put to show us how atleast dance like MJ .....hey if u cant beat them join them....I practiced the move on this video and now am so excited that I can really dance .....THUMPS UP....and waiting for more of your videos .....
Really glad you went over the "Kick" and the "Spin". Been wanting to know how to do those for forever, and you show how to do them well. Great breakdown of all the moves!
thank you for posting, that is amazing! wish I could take his lessons in person :)
Yep same
I once injured my toes by doing the thing.
Lol me too
You need to do strengthening excercises and be pretty lean. Use a wall to start. Ballet dancers spend years doing it
Kuldeep kumar hello
@@juandef4115 i do it every day, and i learnt it for only 2 weeks
@@juandef4115 and do it smoothly
dude, that was so cool. you totally broke that down in the most respectful manner and i can see the passion you have. just.. cool
This is a 5 star video. It's amazing how you break it down perfectly, and it totally taught me how to do all of this!
Thanks for your help, I am doing an MJ dance routine at a wedding and some of your advice really helped
Yo how’d it go
My wife and I are inspired by your video and we promise to practice and post a video of our own once we get a few of these moves down.
You never posted the video :(
age noire legend has it, Kurtis and his wife are still perfecting the moves to this day
I've been waiting for 5 years...
Will you post the video?
From the future!!! Think I already know the answer to my question 😫
i watched this in 5th grade! im back 4 years later and i still love it! thanks corey!!!!
that is absolutely amazing I never knew how he did the kick, nor the spin, nor the sideways...well you get it
That's really cool. I'm really happy with how you broke the moves down! I feel like I could actually do this! :-)
Thanks very much for enlightening me with this video of yours!!kinda loved this stuff!!
Ty'rick Bougere...Yup!!...For sure!
You’re AMAZING for this. Perfect video. So helpful!

NO ONE CAN DANCE LIKE MICHAEL JAKSON
You are not being confident for others to dance like Michael Jackson
i agree
@@erickgiomar7722 no you cant
But you can tribute to mj
It like Similar to mj dance move
Cristiano Ronaldo he just proved it I know how to do it
Cristiano Ronaldo I can your actually making me feel mad
So...I think you are a great teacher and very humble....yes no one can do it like my Michael but thankyou for the pointers. I would not pay attention to the judgemental people on here BC Michael never did. He tried to teach people as well and he never judged...so..good job....come on people let's be a little more Michael Jacksony...would he judge and say unfriendly things ...no .and I know I will never dance like Michael but who can.. we can only try our best just like he did...let us learn from Michael....his kindness ..love humbleness. Caring. Talent....charity...man in the mirror...let's go
this guy is just so friendly wth, i wanna be friends with him. and he’s also a great teacher, explaining things simple and effectively like they should be explained
I've tried to learn the moon walk before on a tutorial but couldn't. This was great. You didn't complicate it. Best tutorial I've seen on this!
Michael Jackson is the best singer in the world
Charming. Nice tutorial.
thank you for your video. i dont like dancing but love watching MJ dancing. Dont know his moves are so professfional and complicated until i saw your explanation.
Your'e a wonderful teacher. This was so clear and easy to follow. Your dancing demonstrations were also really great. Thank you for sharing!
Wow, so good :) Thank you for sharing this with the world, now I can a few of Michaels dance steps,
Thank you,
Tátjana
I FUDGING LOVE YOU FOR POSTING THIS! I have finally found a GOOD video that makes you easily understand how to do MJ's most famous moves :D Also, the way you spoke to the camera made it feel comfortable and not as if your an annoying strict teacher that thinks they know everything. You took time to teach the moves too! BRILLIANT! -3 :D (5 stars!)
I enjoyed this video. You are a good teacher with a good sense of humor. I appreciated the background you discussed in the video. And the reality check that even high level professional dancers struggle to dance like Michael Jackson. And you're obviously a fantastic dancer and you saying how hard or impossible some of the moves are was really helpful.
I was looking for ways to teach my friend how to dance, and your video popped up. I thought I'd give it a shot because I had never run into you before. You're actually pretty good. I will definitely show this to my friend. Great job Corey.
Thank you for pasting this.
I am a huge Michael Jackson fan and have been for god knows how long.. One thing people always used to hold against me was that I couldn't dance like him. For a long time I've been trying to find videos that make the moves more simple, and now I've definitely found one. So thank you for helping non natural dancers like me be able to attempt to dance like their heroes :)
Watch the video I GOT A FEELING by Elvis Presley featuring Michael Jackson, that compares their dancing and you will see that MJ copied Elvis's dance moves and style.
woah! doing the spin I almost broke half of my leg bones 😂😂😂 awesome teaching though! definitely trying again
you're amazing! it looks so easy when you do it like this
Excellent instruction with a sense of humor. Thank you.
this was very helpful
Thank you very much for your teaching
Dude this video was awesome!! Helped me so much, thank you!
This is awesome- you rock dude! Love your humility. I wanna see you doing it to music.
Thank you for making this tutorial
cheers
"I am on a concrete floor in my parents basement, because, well, I am cool like that"
........ EPIC!!
Thankyou so much! You made it seem really easy! Loved The kick! Really good tutorial! Pelase continue doing this vids!
Very nicely conducted tutorial and an awesum dancer !! loved the video!
You can't dance like Michael Jackson, he was one of a kind
Wrong

This youngster finely demonstrates
A superb effect, only music creates
As he is giving a lecture, no music
But, is not that for learning basic?
Still, a wonderful lesson is given
To do Moon-walk, we are driven
Thank you young man, thank you
By teaching Moon-walk, you rescue
Never say that only Jackson can perform
By practicing, you may also come to form
You are young, agile and greatly active
A performance like Michael you can give.

Bro who do you think you are signing your username after typing all that 😂 goofy ass
Thaaaaaaank uuuuuuu! Gonna try it! Always wanted 2 learn it 4 da last 2 decades 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you I always want to copy Michael Jackson move
Hey man.. This was pretty cool lol I'm def gonna do this at the club hahaha I've been doing a few of those moves, but now I know the small lil details. Thanks man. Keep it up.
Dude, this is awesome! 🤘🏻
I knew how to do the moonwalk,I came here for the lean but I do the as you like to say cheaters moonwalk where i go on the balls of my feet its a lot easier and it looks fine now no doubt about it nobody could do it like MJ but he did inspire me to learn it
geez people r rude! I think u did really good!
lots of negative comments, all rubbish. My young boy is trying to dance like Michael and this will help him no end. Good work Corey, this is a great post
I love his music can listen to him all day.
He’s like “Micheal Jackson is the King of pop”
Like we don’t know he’s the King of pop😂😂
We all do, and he will be missed❤️❤️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
this video is very helpful! thank you very much
This tutorial helped me to perform moonwalk abit nicely!!!!!HUrray thanks a lot Corey love u!!!!
I learn backward moonwalk but if your only in place, I can't
What about the smooth criminal dance?
If you mean the smooth lean, his feet are in the ground for that one. But he can do it on normal ground, just not that close to the floor.
I have to say that you're really awesome , and you helped me a lot . Thank you for all your videos , keep doing this man :)
Thanks for your showing us how to dance like. Michael Jackson. This was very helpful.
Thanks for the awsome video!
So sad you dont have nice shoes and a better floor :(
i came here only to write this comment about the name of the video : how to dance like Michael Jackson ?
Seriously ?? No One can dance like Michael Jackson and No one will dance like him.
it's like an irreplaceable mother, "once you lose it you put a rock in your mouth" we say this in the country where i come from. thank you
Marwen . Karadayı yes u can dance like Micheal Jackson all u have to do she practice every time so u can't said little dude
Loved your video Corey and your presentation skills are excellent. I liked how you explained that lots of $$$ was poured into MJ's dancing such that MJ could get everything perfect. But we laymen don't have quite the $$$ for that so you taught us the best alternative. Thanks! I bookmarked your video and plan to keep watching it again and again until I get it right.
Thanks a lot for your video and i love it. I've always wanted to learn the moonwalks and now i know how. will practice on it.
I tayght myself how to moonwalk
Yay, I can watch MJ again! Just watch Brett Nichols!!!!
Awesome Dood... Would rate as 5/5.... You have a passion and made it so simple for a normal dancer to learn quickly with practice !!! Thank you so much for your willingness to teach Pop Kings moves... This video inspired me a lot! Keep up the good work !
Can´t wait to try to dance just a bit like Michael Jackson. I have a broken leg at the moment, so I have to be patient. Thank you for showing some of his fantastic moves, you did it great. Susanne (Denmark)

You are awsome! Thank you, I found it very helpful. I had no idea moonwalking was so easy when you know the basic principle!

Why you telling us that discusseding
I’m guessing you came from that other video!? Rofl
Great tutorial Corey!
Excellent tutorial and your good humor makes it all perfect! You look very cute because you are so inspired and it inspires me and all of us watching TO WANT TO DANCE!
MJ’s brilliance was all due to his absolutely unbridled energetic body responses to his own exciting music resulting in his innovative signature dance moves inspired by James Brown, Fred Astaire and a bit of Elvis Bad Boy all wrapped up by his lifetime of performance art and theatre. An IMPRESSIVE LEGACY on his road to self fulfillment of his own personal IDENTITY! BRAVO MJ! You are uniquely indelibly stamped into the dance music psyche of the late 70s, 80,s 90s and FOREVER!
Dance On through ETERNITY Bro!
