!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You might be underestimating the amount of strength and precision needed to move your body like this. My mom spent 20ish years dancing ballet. She once told me that the idea that dancers are weak or fragile is a joke. Their strength and mental fortitude is on par with few. She was also trained in the Russian style so...
Anyway if you are looking for a plane to start. You may find barre helpful. It is a tupe of exercise which has it roots in ballet. It teaches, strength, flexibility and teaches you how to target movement to individual muscles. It will help build the body kinesthesia needed to move like that.
I know a dancer, who worked on a cruise ship. It was a running joke, in the communal canteen, how the smallest of them could put away twice what the big burley sailors could eat. They demolished food, yet kept their figures. What they didn't see was the relentless rehearsals etc, that burnt it all away again.
Dancers are about as frail as a goods train!
Same principle as the original moonwalk, just variations of it. The gist of it in of itself is actually fairly simple. The hard part is to make the whole motion so fluid and smooth that it ends up looking like this or MJ, which is simply lots and lots of repetition / practice.
do you think he has special shoes or put metal plates in his shoes? I just can't imagine that he's capable of getting on his tippy toes like that without bending the shoe at all.
Aww man, why is the answer always "practice"? /s
I wonder if doing the Moon Walk would get you burnt at the stake for witchcraft a few hundred years ago.
yeah, that's what I've gathered. I'm hoping to find some drills that would be helpful at developing those skills.
Look into breakdancing lessons
