Michael Jackson actually learned a lot of his dance moves, including this one, from singer/dancer Jeffrey Daniel.

Strangely enough, Michael Jackson was in a musical adaptation of The Wizard of Oz called The Wiz. But, instead of the Tin Man, he played the Scarecrow.



Pretty good, but I'd like to see him Moonwalk...
