Rudolph & Joan Benesh, ”Introduction to Benesh Dance Notation”, 1969 was the topic of an earlier blog post.

SUMMARY.

The moves in the book by Michael Jackson (moonwalk), James Brown (camelwalk) & Prince (splits)  made this book popular in itself.

Robot and Funky Chicken were dancing moves that also made me remember when the moves were popular.

I recognize that not all people are into reading Ballet dancing notation, such as Laban or Benesh.  That is why I presented this book.  David Bowie & Michael Jackson dancing moves are the kind of steps in the book.
