Of course, you must be fully prepared before sliding. Flat soft soles are suitable for sliding. Step 1:

Finally, the effect of overcoming gravity is achieved, so that you can moonwalk like a professional.
Step 9:
Once you have mastered flexing your right foot, switch feet and try the same movement with your left foot. Lift your left heel as you move your right foot toward the Put down your left foot while sliding back, use your left foot to support it, stretch out your right foot, then lift your left heel, and then slowly move your right foot back while putting your left foot down again.
[Edit this paragraph] Types of sliding steps
1) Sliding in place:
Preparatory posture: Stand with both feet side by side and arms hanging naturally. Action process: Lift the left heel, and place the center of body weight on the ball of the forefoot. After pressing the heel with the left foot, straighten the right foot and slide back a foot. Then, after the toes leave the ground, bend the leg and move forward to the original position. Lift the right foot. Heel, press the heel with your right foot at the same time, and then complete the action with your right foot as the supporting foot and your left foot sliding backwards. Alternately slide on the spot with both feet. Practice Tips: Practice sliding in place with one arm, waving your arms forward and up and down. You should usually strengthen hiking or weight-bearing heel raising training to improve the strength of slapping ankle joints and toes. Netizen’s opinion: I think adding some body waves makes it more dazzling!
2) Forward sliding step:
Preparatory position: Stand with both feet side by side and arms hanging naturally. Action process: First, straighten your left leg and slide one step forward toward the toes, then raise the left heel, straighten the right foot and slide one step forward toward the toes. At this time, press the heel with your left foot, complete the heel lift with your right foot, and slide forward alternately with both feet. Practice Tips: The direction of the toes of the forward sliding step can be toward the front or to the outside. Netizen’s opinion: I think this is more like tiptoeing forward.
3) Back sliding:
1. Press your heels and slide back. Preparatory posture: Stand with your feet side by side and your arms hanging naturally. Action process: Lift the heel of the left foot. When pressing the heel, straighten the right foot and smooth the entire sole of the foot backward.

Practice tips: The main point of the action is to touch the ground with one heel and lift the other heel, repeating and alternating. When the smooth foot stops sliding backward, the toes point to the ground and the instep is perpendicular to the ground. When you become proficient in the movement, you can increase the length of your back slide. Pay attention to controlling your body's center of gravity when practicing. Netizens’ comments: There is an explanation of back sliding in this tutorial [1]. In fact, it is like walking backwards wearing slippers, and the slippers feel like they are holding on the ground. 2. Lift your heels and slide back. Preparatory position: Stand with your feet side by side and your arms drooping naturally. Action process: The left foot is the supporting foot, the knee joint of the right leg is straightened, the whole foot is slid back to the heel of the left foot, and the left heel is raised at the same time.

Netizen’s comments: Note that it is actually about inverting the foot from left to right and changing the center of gravity. There is one detail he did not mention, that is, the forefoot and toes grip the ground, not the toes touching the ground. This cannot give us greater driving force and injure the toes. Joints should be wrong! Everyone should pay attention to protection when practicing. If you feel pain, you should pay attention to whether your posture is correct! In fact, in daily training, we feel that our sliding steps are always rigid and unlike Jackson's. In fact, our bodies are not stretched. For example, when sliding backwards, we should pay attention to when one leg slides backwards and the other leg becomes arched. The steps should support the entire body as much as possible, and the forefoot should be firmly hooked on the ground. Otherwise, it will be difficult to maintain balance, and we will slide left and right, which is unnatural. Lifting the buttocks is also key. The back leg should be raised while dragging the ground backwards with the heel depressed. This can make our sliding step smoother and avoid mistakes caused by excessive friction on the ground!
4) Lateral sliding step:
1. Press your heels and slide horizontally. Preparatory posture: Stand with your feet left and right, with your toes ahead and one foot apart. Action process: Point your toes to the left, raise your heels and bring your heel close to your right heel. When your left foot presses your heel, straighten your right foot, move your whole foot smoothly to the right and step forward with your toes forward. You can continuously complete the horizontal sliding movement to the right. Practice Tips: You can slide left and right as many times as you need. 2. Sideways sliding step with double heel lifts. Preparatory position: Stand with your feet left and right, your toes in a figure eight, and your arms drooping naturally. Action process: (Take sliding to the right as an example) The center of gravity of the human body moves to the right. When pushing the hips to the right, lift both heels. Use the right foot to drive the left foot to move one foot to the right, so that the heels and heels are close together, and the right foot Move one step further to the right and return to the ready position. Practice Tips: The key point of the action is to drive the waist and hips to move the center of gravity of the body. 3. Cross sliding step. Preparatory position: Stand with your feet left and right, toes of your left toes to the left, and your arms drooping naturally.

While pressing the heel of your left foot, straighten your right leg and slide your entire foot to the right. Then quickly move the toes inward with the balls of both feet. When the left foot crosses one step in front of the right foot (the toes are over the right), the front soles of the two feet continue to grind the ground, so that the toes of the left foot are over the left and the toes are raised at the same time. At this time, the toes of the right toes have turned to the front. Get ready to start your second cross slide. Practice Tips: The key point of this kind of sliding is the grinding action of the forefoot. The movement path of the two feet should be on two parallel lines. Beginners should first practice sliding in one direction. After they are proficient, they can complete the cross sliding on the left and right sides. step. 4. Turn around and slide sideways. Preparatory position: Stand with feet left and right, left toe pointed to the left, and arms drooping naturally. Action process: raise the heel of the left foot and move the toes to the left. When the heel of the left foot moves closer to the arch of the right foot, press the heel of the left foot and straighten the right leg and slide one step to the left. At this time, the left heel touches the ground, the right heel is raised, the left foot is straightened and turned to the right toe, the body turns 180 degrees to the right, then the right heel touches the ground, the left heel is raised, and the right leg is straightened and slid sideways to the right. step. Use this method to complete the action repeatedly. Practice Tips: The key to the movement is to press the heel while making a sliding movement with the other leg.
5) Prismatic sliding step:
Preparatory posture: Stand with feet left and right, left toe pointed to the left, and arms drooping naturally. Action process: Follow the essentials of horizontal sliding and turning movements to perform prismatic sliding. Practice Tips: Turn with flexibility. The prismatic sliding step can be completed in a clockwise direction.
When turning and sliding, you can combine body and arm movements
