Yes, they were doing this dance on Soul Train, and Daniels was a dancer on Soul Train, but the dancers on Soul Train got it from the street dancers in the hood....A LOT of dances MJ did were from Soul Train's golden era...those include the Moonwalk, poppin and locking, the robot....i was watchin the VH1 special on Soul Train "The Coolest Trip In America", and they said MJ used to watch Soul Train for all the latest new moves....
