Without Elvis breaking the barrier with his dancing, then there is no moon-walk.

Why doesn't Chuck Berry ever get his due?
Fvck Elvis. Chuck Berry is the true King of Rock and Roll. And the moonwalk wasn't anything but a ripoff of the duck-walk Chuck was doing 30 years prior.
As stated in his induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
"While no individual can be said to have invented rock and roll, Chuck Berry comes the closest of any single figure to being the one who put all the essential pieces together."
John Lennon was more succinct when he said:
"If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'."
