Cyd Charisse and Fred Astaire perform a section of “The Girl Hunt Ballet” in 1953’s “The Band Wagon”. The sequence heavily influenced Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” music video from 1988. Choreographer Michael Kidd was terrified of showing Fred Astaire his ideas for “The Girl Hunt Ballet” because they were the antithesis of the persona that Astaire usually had ― that of an elegant man in top hat, white tie, and tails. But it turned out Astaire loved all Kidd’s ideas and even suggested some of his own.

Michael Jackson “Smooth Criminal” with the insane anti gravity lean where he almost kissed the stage in Oslo, Norway during the Dangerous World Tour in 1992, MJ’s core strength was impeccable.

For years I thought Michael Jackson was doing actual sorcery. Turns out the Smooth Criminal lean involved a bolt in the floor and a hook on his shoe. Also, was I the only one out here trying to moonwalk by sliding the wrong foot?
