Michael Jackson copied his moon walk after French mime Marcel Marceau in "walk-against-the- wind" pantomime techniques.

Michael Jackson emulated the moon walk after the street break dancers of the early 80's. They in turn modeled the technique after Pearl Bailey's brother Bill Bailey, an African American Tap Dancer, as seen in this 1955 video.
