THE DANCER

Here we go, it’s the king of the dance floor! Because when a club-winged manakin joins in, the whole jungle shakes! Here we have this Brazilian specimen demonstrating its iconic choreography: the Moonwalk. The mythical dance of Billie Jean? The very same! Look at him there, sliding one foot after the other while staying in exactly the same spot – as if dragged by some invisible force. One after another, one after another… and at such a speed! He moves his head like a pendulum, tilts his body 45 degrees, hunches his shoulders! Now he repeats the number in circles, diagonally, on the sides… What a show! He takes a bow and leaves the stage. He breathes a sigh of relief. A burden seems to have been lifted. How hard it must be to be the King of Pop!
