duckwalk
Low crouching stride
A duckwalk is a way of moving while squatting, waddling forward with knees bent and body low to the ground—mimicking a duck's gait.
It appears in exercise routines, military training, and children's games.
The move became iconic in rock and roll through Chuck Berry, who duckwalked across stages while playing guitar: He duckwalked through the entire solo.
