When I tried googling "Michael Jackson dance moves", I found some interesting questions:

If you read my story, you know that I stood onstage to dance like Michael Jackson for the first time in 2000. I was only 15 years old back then. I have been performing as a Michael Jackson impersonator since then. I even managed to build a strong personal brand name "Tu Michael" as a Moondancer and a Marketing Artist. I believe I know some insights about Michael Jackson dance moves. So I will try answering those questions popping up from Google Search. Let's go, Moonwalkers!

1. What are Michael Jacksons dance moves called?
   Google took the answer from Wiki: "The moonwalk". And it doesn't seem right to me. The moonwalk is only ONE dance move. My answer is: there is no official name for "Michael Jackson dance moves". You can call it "Michael Jackson dance style". But I got a better name: Moondancing. Yeah! Let's just call "Michael Jackson dance moves", "Michael Jackson dance syle" as "Moondancing".
   
2. What was Michael Jackson's best dance moves?
   Now the answer is from indigomusic. They list 11 iconic dance moves of The King Of Pop, Michael Jackson. Let's examine that list: Moonwalk, Thriller dance, The crotch grab, The toe stand, The anti-gravity lean, The robot, The spin and stop, The side slide, Circle slide, The kick.
   Well, I agree with most of them. But "Thriller dance" is a dance routine, not a dance move. And although the article was posted on March 24th, 2023, the images were broken. Indigomusic should take care of the website better. Good job on taking the spot in "People also ask" section on Google SERP, though.
3. What is the hardest Michael Jackson dance move?
   I don't agree with the answer "The Lean". Although the lean is hard for true but that dance move requires a specially designed shoes. For me, a dance move should be a natural body movement to the music. A dance move should not require any tool or equipment. From my own experience, the hardest Michael Jackson dance move is moving your body parts to the rhythm, especially the legs and core belly. Don't fool by its simplicity.

4. Who came up with Michael Jackson's dance moves?
   Vincent Paterson (born May 4, 1950) is an American director and choreographer who collaborated with Michael Jackson on various projects. He co-directed and co-choreographed Jackson's Bad tour as well as co-choreographing Jackson music videos "Smooth Criminal", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Dirty Diana", "Speed Demon", "Black or White" and live performances for the Super Bowl XXVII Halftime show, the Grammys, and the MTV 10th Anniversary. He also co-directed and co-choreographed the music video for Jackson's hit "Blood on the Dance Floor".
   I agree with this answer. I just want to add some info, Michael Jackson worked with various choreographers such as:
   Michael Peters: choreographer for "Thriller" and "Beat It" videos, ‘’The Jacksons: An American Dream" TV show.
   Jeffrey Daniel: co-choreographer for "Bad" and "Smooth Criminal" videos
   Travis Payne: choreographer for "They don't care about us" performance in "This is it" tour
   Kenny Ortega: choreographer for "This is it" tour
   
   Ok. I must stop for now. So many questions. I will come back and update this article later. If you come up with any questions or ideas, please let me know in the comment section.
