duckwalked
Moved while crouching
Duckwalked is the past tense of duckwalk—to walk in a squatting position with knees bent, waddling like a duck.
It's associated with physical training exercises and childhood games, but most famously with Chuck Berry's signature stage move: He duckwalked across the stage while playing his guitar solo.
