Answer: No, that is not an official dance move; he was just using the gesture to enhance his strike call for the crowd.
Answer: It looks like the dance moves are based on Michael Jackson's "Moonwalk" routine.
That move itself is part of Michael Jackson's moonwalk routine? I just want to be sure we're on the same page because the moonwalk itself is the dance move that Frank performs after calling the third strike.

Continuity mistake: When Frank and the other umpire are throwing baseballs at each other during the pickle, Frank is standing almost halfway to second base. After Frank is hit in the face guard with the ball, the shot changes to the runner sliding into first base, and Frank is suddenly behind first base to call him safe.
Answer: Isn't that the classic "jazz hands" move?
