club 30's with mjfangirl- a Michael Jackson Fan Podcast

What was it like teaching Michael Jackson to moonwalk? Geron Caszper Canidate is the dancer and choreographer who taught Michael the backslide, which became later known as the moonwalk, one of the most iconic dance moves in music history.
On today's episode, Caszper takes me behind the scenes of his relationship with Michael and shares what it was like teaching one of the greatest performers of all time. We talk about Michael’s incredible ability to learn, his dedication to dance, and what made him so different from everyone else. We also talk about Michael’s BAD video choreography, Beat It, and Smooth Criminal.
