At first, Michael Jackson wore a seat belt around his waist and then performed forward leaning and rotation movements of 45 degrees.
However, this method was not applicable to subsequent concerts, because the rope tied around the waist could be installed and removed during live performances, and would also restrict body movements, so he decided to create a "reverse" Gravity Shoes", and Michael Jackson also spent his own money to buy the patent.
Michael Jackson installed a device on the bottom of his shoes. When wearing this kind of shoes, his feet can be firmly fixed, and then the center of gravity of the whole body is tilted forward, and all the stress points are supported by waist force. , thereby completing the movement of leaning forward 45 degrees!
The entire "anti-gravity illusion" process only takes five seconds, but even with these fixation systems, the body must be kept straight when leaning, and the muscles of the legs, waist, back, and shoulders need to be strengthened for a long time. Training can be called a combination of intelligence, physical fitness and skills.
The charm of Michael Jackson's dance:
First, Michael Jackson's dance comes from the true feelings of people's hearts, showing the emotional turmoil in people's hearts. Every movement and every expression, You can feel the true feelings it conveys. He breaks through any taboos and stereotypes, allowing the body to stretch freely, and allowing dance movements and emotions to be unified, rather than the rules of his predecessors! At this point, Michael echoes Bruce Lee!
Second, learn from the strengths of others and study hundreds of schools of thought. If you carefully consider Michael's dance, you will find that tap, black dance, and the salute movements of ancient European gentlemen can all be found in his dance. During one of the historical concerts, when he performed the masterpiece "Billy King", his action at the beginning reminded me of Chinese Kung Fu!
