How to Do the Hip Hop Square Slide

The hip hop square slide is an intermediate hip hop dance move that's just as fun to perform as it is to watch. Think of it as the contemporary version of the moon walk that Michael Jackson made popular in the 1980s.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Stand with your feet together and your toes pointing forward. Pretend that you're surrounded by an imaginary square, and that you're standing at the back left corner of the square.

2. Slide your right leg in front of you with the knee of your right leg pointing forward. Keep on the ball of your right foot. Slide your left leg to meet your right leg, turning your body to the left side of the square as you reach the front corner of your imaginary square. Your feet will be touching.

3. Move your left leg behind you, sliding on the ball of your left foot while turning your upper body so that your back is facing the front of your imaginary square. Bring your right leg over to meet your left leg. You'll now be at the right front corner of the imaginary square you imagined in Step 1 with your body facing in the opposite direction it was when you ended Step 2.

4. Glide your right leg out to the right side, keeping on the ball of your foot. Slide your left leg over to meet your right leg. You'll now be at the back right corner.

5. Turn your body slightly to the left as you move your left leg to the left side. Slide your right leg over to meet your left leg. You'll now be at the back part of the square where you started. You've now completed 1 full square.

6. Repeat Steps 2 through 5.
