A new dance step is becoming all the rage among young people on social networks. The “Floating Slick Back” gives the impression of “gliding on air” but the technique does not seem so simple. This football coach dissects the step.
Popularizing a dance move that makes an impression is not for everyone. In 1983, Michael Jackson made the famous Moonwalk famous, which few people can still reproduce perfectly today. This step which gives the effect of sliding backwards, or to the sides, was subsequently taken up through various dance trends, which we find in particular in hip-hop. The slide is now available in a completely different version, which seems even more difficult to reproduce.
On the social network Tiktok, this is the new trend of the moment, where everyone is trying their little step on video. This Korean football coach Gkocoach explains, step by step, how to achieve this new dance step called “Floating Slick Back” which simply gives the impression of gliding through the air.
How to “glide through the air” with the Floating Slick Back?
In its video at the top of the article, Gkocoach begins with a short demonstration, in order to show its community the rendering of this dance step like no other. We really have the impression that it is floating in the air, at full speed, without even touching the ground, Internet users are surprised in the comments. But how exactly does he do it? Step by step, this sports coach reveals the technique of this slide in two steps:
- Start by lifting your right foot, tapping the ground lightly and immediately sliding it to the right
- Tap your left foot bringing it in front of your right leg, always giving a sliding effect
Then repeat the operation as quickly as possible moving forward. The trick : touch the toe of the ground very lightly to give yourself the momentum for the next step. The illusion of sliding on the ground is possible thanks to the speed of the movement. It even gives the impression of not touching the ground.
