moonwalker
Backward-sliding dancer
A moonwalker is someone who has walked on the moon—one of the twelve Apollo astronauts who did so between 1969 and 1972.
The term also describes someone performing the moonwalk, the backward-sliding dance move popularized by Michael Jackson: The kid's a natural moonwalker.
