a glide that follows a crescent shaped path; not to be confused with what Michael Jackson does, which is actually a backslide.
Dom moonwalks like a pro, Michael Jackson ruined the name for everyone, what an asshat. In fact, for a good example of what a moonwalk looks like, look at the opening scene for "Breakdancing."
