The Duck Walk is a dance made famous by American guitarist Chuck Berry, and adopted by others such as Angus Young from the band AC/DC and the Swedish rock musician Ulf Dageby. The Duck Walk consists of jumping on one leg, moving the other in a back-and-forth motion. It was first conceived by Berry to hide the wrinkles in a rayon suit at a 1956 performance at New York, according to a Rolling Stone interview[specify]. "It got an ovation," he recalls, "so I did it again and again."
