Times: Michael Jackson is the best dancer in history

Financial Times has compiled a list of the best dancers in history, and by staying faithful to the legacy of the greatest dancers of all time, it wrote that among them, Michael Jackson is the only possible choice.

“From Cab Calloway’s jitterbugging and Sammy Davis Jr’s flashdancing to Michael Jackson’s moonwalk—there’s no choice for us except Jackson. He broke every boundary you can name.

Although before Jackson, James Brown was in the spotlight and taught Jackson some things from his showmanship and tricks. But even earlier than Brown, Jackie Wilson was Elvis’s teacher and taught him how to shake his knees and wiggle his hips. Without Wilson, there wouldn’t be dancing for us. Since then, the dances have become more skillful, dirtier, and more hip-hop, but Wilson’s rules still hold true.”

The publication also chose Tina Turner and Beyoncé among women, and of course it noted that Beyoncé has nothing to say against Turner. The Times’ selected group is also one of Michael Jackson’s favorite groups: The Temptations. And as for the rock dancer, it’s none other than Mick Jagger—and of course guitarist Jimi Hendrix, who had a special kind of mystery both in his playing and in his moves.
