How to Dance Like Michael Jackson: Spot Shimmy, Toe Stand, and The Clappers

[x9Voltagex]

omg i think the brid is going to jump on your face

[x9Voltagex]

wooooooot bird cage

[MrALI2710]

THUMBS UP IF U AGREE HE CLAPS EVERY SECOND

[TheVideocrazed]

i tried concintrating on ur dancing but tht bird just kpt moving and moving... lol

[bm5891]

1. The 'Spot Shimmy' is called the 'Get Down', a move by James Brown. Although MJ does it, it's technically a JB move. There is a video somewhere on Youtube with James Brown explaining this and other of his steps.

2. 'The Clappers' is probably an incorrect name, but you're missing a vital part of that step that 95% of people don't even notice. Inbox me if you want me to explain, not enough room here.

[FunkySpiritComedy]

can u help with a dance move that i can kinda do..its like the spot shimmy..its called the Derulo Shuffle..its almost axactly like it but different

[clanninjazjerk]

lets get this straight i can do them its easy look at my jerk videos u dum mf

[Nanozism]

I didn't notice the bird tell 2:35

[KhristianX10]

R.I.P. Michael Jackson :')

[skullgal56]

CUUUUTE BIRD!!

i have a pet bird too LOL

AND GOOD JOB WITH THE MJ MOVES!!!!!

[xXPondeReplayXx]

i can't stop looking at the bird that seems like , it's gunna fly.. nice video & thx for sharing ^_^

[bigbaldin]

A tip/hint on that first move. you explained your left food a bit false in the first showoff.

The easy way to explain it is to let them guys practise 'Pivots'. That's how its called when you move your feets, explained in signs; \ / to / \

I guess it is the 3step what you do there (;

[PatisauR]

FUCK THAT BIRD SO distracting

[DrummerandFootballer]

Do i need special schoes for the toe stand?

[froggybro1]

do i have to be gay to do this?

[texjgc]

@froggybro1 No. You do have to be semi awesome though, which in the case of you asking such a stupid question, are not...

[11naynay]

[daddyinthecadi]

Very hard ! Help

[texjgc]

@daddyinthecadi I agree. It really takes a lot of study and skill.....I noticed after a good massage my body felt a bit looser and I was able to get the moves down a lot better....Im still far from saying "i got it!" though...just keep practicing. ^_^

[xChloexLaurenx]

[tdj4315]

Awesome tutorial!! Haters will never be anything more than haters. They do not have the capacity to rise above their own ignorance....they do what they do out of insecurity and an uncontrollable need to control. They are insignificant and ineffective. GREAT WORK.
