No, the moonwalk that we refer to in this article is not a type of dance. A moonwalk can have many different definitions, such as a bounce house, moonwalker, or bouncy thing, but they are all different words for the same thing.
Moonwalks are the bouncy, inflatable things you see mostly at kids’ birthday parties, special events, and company picnics. They are loved by almost every child in America.
You can rent a moonwalk or you can go to an indoor facility where they have a lot of them inflated for the kids to jump on. Either option is really ideal.
Commercial moonwalks are made of vinyl weighing fifteen ounces or more. They are built to withstand constant jumping and abuse from overly excited kids. Non-commercial moonwalks are made of a lighter, more brittle material that may not be very resistant to use by children. These should not be used at parties where more than two or three children are present. Children love jumping so much that it is almost impossible to keep them away from a moonwalk.
Moonwalks come in so many different shapes and sizes that it’s impossible to summarize it all. Basically though there are three common sizes. There is a ten foot wide, thirteen foot wide, and fifteen foot wide moonwalk available for purchase from almost any manufacturer. Make sure that if you are renting a moonwalk you consider the size of your group. The fifteen foot is best for larger groups.
You should better understand what a moonwalk is by now. Ask your child next time what he calls them and see if they have a different definition!
