Duckwalk

Rock 'N' Roll singer Chuck Berry doing a one-legged hop style "duckwalk" while playing the guitar.

The duckwalk is a form of dance performed by assuming a low partial squatting position and walking forwards, maintaining the low stance. It is similar to stalking and prowling.[1] It is most widely known as a stage element of guitar showmanship popularized by rock 'n' roll guitarist Chuck Berry.[2][3] It is also a physical exercise commonly used in military training.

Chuck Berry's other guitar playing stunt, his one-legged hop routine with the other leg waving in the air is also known as a duckwalk.[4]
