Add John Travolta to the list. He’s better than some of your top 20 listers.
I think since his break out movie was a dance movie, it's not considered a surprise.
That’s no secret. We all know he’s a fabulous dancer.
I agree!!!!!!!
I agree! Travolta is brilliant!
He is on another level. Can't put him in this list.
I agree Patrick Swayze was the best he may be gone but never forgotten
h3e was a professional dancer before he was an actor. his mother ran a dance studio.
P S, He's a professional ballet dancer...Same goes with Jean Claude Van Damme, Bruce Lee is also a professional Cha Cha ballroom instructor before they hit off big time in Hollywood🕺💃👯♂️
@@mariobrosxsuper Wow I did not know that
He was so graceful . His dance move in dirty dancing was excellent.
And his wife 👌🕺💃
I am slightly surprised the late Patrick Swayze was not mentioned. Also no John Travolta or Channing Tatum. The wonderful Sophia Loren should also get a mention, she can act, sing and dance beautifully.
We all knew they were good dancers!
These are people you may not have known.
Richard Gere should be on here! That tap dance scene in Chicago was actually him, and he rehearsed for weeks just to get it right. It's very impressive! 👏👏👏
También bailo con Jennifer López
I love seeing Sam Rockwell dance in all his movies. He just makes them so fun to watch.
Should be higher up
I love the man too
Yeah, I was surprised not to see him on this list.
Would have loved to see Hugh Jackman in here. He was named the Best Dancer on Broadway, though he isn't primarily a dancer, and in fact I was sure he'd be on the list. Sorry you missed him!
He would make more sense the Walken, who was a hoofer before he made it as an actor.
Dances regularly. He's not a "Surprisingly Good Dancer".
he's done multiple musicals. he's a singer, dancer, actor.
So he surprised you by being able to dance? This isn't "Celebrities who are good dancers" but "Celebrities That Are Surprisingly Good Dancers".
Sim!!!!
Christopher Walken dancing in the Weapon of Choice is my all-time favorite!
Mine too!
And Pennies From Heaven
I m so surprised
I feel old. None of my generation was represented. Alan Rickman, Patrick Swayze, Antonio Banderas, John Travolta....omg those men could dance for me anytime.
John Travolta was the big woman that Chris Walken was dancing with in the Hairspray clip lol. But I feel ya!
Lol And Fred Astaire? I grew up watching him! I’m 75 and he’s STILL my ideal!
None of these men are "surprisingly" good dancers, per the title of the video. They are well known.
I just finished watching the American Dance awards from 1994. They featured Patrick Swatche dancing with his wife Lisa Neime. Talk about wonderful dancing. They first met each other when Lisa was 14 at his mom's dance studio and got married when she was 19. They have been dancing together for a very long time and it shows.
Read the title of the article 🤣🤣🤣
Watching Richard Gere brilliantly tap dance in Chicago was such a pleasant shock.
Richard Gere has a movie called "Shall We Dance?" where he takes dance lessons with Jennifer Lopez. The movie is really nice. I remember going to the cinema with my mom and we came home and start dancing in the garage.
I agree!! When I saw him dance in Chicago my jaw dropped!
Also in the movie Shall We Dance...so good!
He was on Broadway musicals. Not surprising.
him singing and me not wanting to put an ice pick in my ears was amazing.
Is it me? Or did you guys forget about John Travolta who is another among a handful of successful celebrities that can not only dance, but sing as well?
John Travolta's dancing is better than his singing. I love Grease but not his singing in it. I also loved Hairspray but not his singing.
Even more surprising, in the Christopher Walken clip, he's dancing with Travolta! So why didn't John make it here? Because SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER was 40 years ago?
@@SusanSloate then you should check out the Fatboy Slim music video for "Weapon Of Choice"
Walken has some serious dancing chops
@@karlsmith2570 Will do. Thanks for the heads up!
Don't worry cute Johnny was on that List! If you ask him he will give you a free dance audition especially if you're a cute guy, Suga!
Is there anything that Christian Bale can't do? He even did his own magic tricks in The Prestige.
I like this list, and am particularly pleased that it includes Christopher Walken, a professional-caliber tap dancer. One unforgivable omission is Neve Campbell, who was offered a position with the Joffrey Ballet after filming The Company. That offer acknowledges her commitment to hundreds of hours of extremely hard work, and must be applauded.
A personal Honorable Mention: Christina Applegate, whose unchoreographed frivolity runs with the credits of both View From the Top and The Sweetest Thing. The girl has great rhythm, and an extremely mobile torso.
I went to the same ballet school as Neve Campbell as a kid, but she's a few years older and was at a much higher level. My mom still has the recital program with her name in it.
Grace Kelly, was a dancer too.
I remember reading somewhere that if Christopher Walken had been born a few years earlier, he would have been right up ther with Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and all the other singing/dancing movie stars from that era.
I saw Christina Applegate in “Sweet Charity” on bdway some years back & she did a terrific job!💃
Amy Adams proved she could dance as far back as 'Enchanted'! The So Close scene is such a stunning dance!
She also dances in Drop Dead Gorgeous WAY before Enchanted 😍
She'horrible
Well she started as a dancer, just like many other people on this list before going to Hollywood
Amy Adams also can sing to!
Why do you say that?
Always a pleasure to see Christopher Walken in that "Weapon of Choice" video. I still remember when I first saw it - the part where he rings for the elevator - and I was like "What on earth did I just watch?" (in a good way).
Charles Durning (ballroom), Robert Duvall (tango), and Steve Martin (tap) were/are also gifted dancers. And Frank Sinatra did an excellent job tap dancing with Gene Kelly.
Those 3 men being dancers surprised me. Thank you!
I have seen videos of Steve Martin playing banjo. The tap dancing surprised me.
Charles Durning was an actor with an amazing repertoire of skills. Comedy, drama, etc. He was in NCIS, as a WWII veteran. It was so powerful of an episode I just had to buy it off Amazon.
Robert Duvall was in alot of movies. The one that I watch when needing a lift is “Secondhand Lions”. He had serious moves in the fight scene against 4(?) 20-something boys. It should have not been surprising to be told he was a dancer.
You might want to look at videos of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. He was a perfectionist and they would do 42 takes before he was satisfied. There was also no cutting. Every dance was done in one take. Amazing! And you also might look at some of the black dancers in the movie cotton club. The Nicholas Brother and others will astound you! Tap with Greg Hines will knock your socks off when you see these older dancers. Enjoy!
Actors and actresses in the ‘old days’ used to be required to be able to sing, dance, act, and usually play some kind of musical instrument. They were marketed on more than one skill.
You failed to mention that Alfonso Ribeiro was trained in dance. He played "The Tap Dance Kid" on Broadway and even danced in a Michael Jackson Pepsi commercial as a child.
I thought for sure Hugh Jackman would be on the list. He can surely tap dance very well.
He's not "surprisingly" good. His skills are well known
Sam Rockwell! I went to high school with him at the school of the arts in SF. Such fun memories!
Cool beans 😊
Morgan Freeman studied ballet. I saw him bust a few graceful moves in a movie.
😮😮😮
Salma Hayek was definitely a 'wow' surprise for me, but my real surprise was not seeing Catherine Zeta-Jones who should also be on that top list. Her perfomance in Chicago and her moves on Entrapment top it all as unbeatable. Bruce Willis on Friends when he dances in front of a mirror (watched only by the character Ross who hides under the bed) is a memorable scene too! :)
Catherine Zeta-Jones in Zorro.
Zeta-Jones was pregnant when she filmed Chicago. Even more impressive
@@alabamagigi2218 Yes!! She should be on top of that list, not the missing one, at least, please...
Joseph Gordon- Levitt dancing to Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation was surprising and kick a$$ !
I know you like that stuff!
Word up🙋😍
@@angiemorsby8429 🥰🙋♀️Hell yeah!
He is actually #1 in my book
Absolutely
You forgot Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Jerry Orbach, Hugh Jackman, the entire cast of "Chicago" (Gere, Zellweger, Zeta Jones).
You forgot John Travolta. How Vin Diesel and Obama made this list is a head scratcher.
John Travolta is level for himself
Agreed
I was completely floored by Christopher Walken dancing! Joseph Gordon- Levitt is amazing! This was fun.
Walken’s strip tease in Pennies From Heaven is superb!
Look him up on youtube or the internet Christopher Walken dancing in the Weapon of Choice , the man can dance
First time I saw Christopher Walken dance was on a TV special "Night of 100 Stars." I was floored.
Patrick Swayze the best# 1 he will always be.❤️
It says celebrities that we wouldn't have thought of as dancers ." . For this list we’re looking at celebrities you wouldn’t necessarily think of having good rhythm, but can still cut a rug with the best of them" Swayze is the #1 dancer I would have come up with but for a different list same for all the other great dancers that people keep mentioning. Different list.
Christopher was a dance teacher before acting...no wonder he moves so beautifully...
Christopher Was on Broadway starring as Ralph in Sound of Music when he was young. So he was dancing since he was a child.
I'm surprised you guys didn't mention Jim Carrey. I've seen clips of him dancing on "In Living Color" and "The Mask"; he's REALLY good.
And "Once Bitten"
@@Hozer42 so many have never even heard of that movie. It was one of my favorites when i was young
Thank you!
Reading comments looking for Jim Carrey ❤ The Mask was amazing
Tom Hiddleston is a GREAT dancer!
What about John Travolta? His dancing is legendary!!!
Glad he wasn't because he isn't "surprisingly". Like Swayze and Channing. They're known. But some well knowns were on the list, like Alfonso and Gosling to name a couple
Same thought
But he wasn't known when he first started. In Welcome Back Kotter there was no dancing. He's a grey area to me. Same with Swayze...until Dirty Dancing it wasn't common knowledge he could dance.
Hugh Jackson stared in a musical and danced through half of the songs.
In multiple musicals. And he hosted the Tonys. Dude knows how to dance!
No kidding. What a terrible list
I love Jackman, but he dances all the time. He's not a "Surprisingly Good Dancer".
List was about surprisingly good dancers. Jackman's skills are well documented, and they aren't a surprise to anyone at this point. Granted, there were a few others like him, who have always been known for their dancing, throughout their careers.
@@benkalem surprisingly? For who? Some of them are well known as dancers: Christian Bale, Christopher Walken....
PS: sorry this is not on you. I think authors put wrong title.
One of the best things about the movie Mr. Right was the way Sam Rockwell employed dancing in his role as an assassin. Terrific role.
I agree 100%! Also, Anna Kendrick was perfect as his Mrs
Oh, yeah. Tom Hiddleston a WELL deserved #1. Unless anyone has seen him dance you would never guess he was so good. #2 in MY book SHOULD have been Sam Rockwell. That boy is nothing short of AMAZING!!!
You missed Brendan Fraser. He did a fabulous jive number with two female partners in Blast From the Past and a great tango in Mrs. Winterbourne. Any, yes, how did you miss Travolta and Tatum? Are those clips not available?
They’re both already well known for their dancing.
The title says «surprisingly good dancers»...
I loved him, Christopher Walken, and Sissy Spacek in the Blast From The Past. It is one of my favorite feel good movies.
The late great Alan Rickman had a pretty smooth tango number in the official music video for Texas' "In Demand". He at least deserved an honorable mention!
Excellent point!
I guess whoever made this had no clue that Alfonso Ribeiro has been dancing since he was a child, was on Broadway as the “Tap Dance Kid” which led to him being in the commercials with Michael Jackson!!
I think...don't quote me...he was a back up dancer for Michael
No. Too young
How could you not mention John Travolta...he was iconic for his moves in Saturday Night Fever, Grease and Pulp Fiction
Per the name of the video, he's not "surprisingly" good. Everyone is aware of Travolta's dance skills.
I agreed 👍
Christopher Walken just never ceases to amaze me
He is a legend. Just amazing.
My husband adored him as an actor and in this video
He's a classically trained dancer
That Fatboy Slim video is incredible.
To me, Walken IS the Best
I can think of a dozen people who should be on this list before Vin Diesel.
I know, right?!
He barely moved!
That was so stupid to have him at the top
Key word; surprisingly good dancers!!
Like who? [Not challenging you, I'm just curious]
I was wondering when you were going to include Tom Hiddleston. I feel great about him being at the top because he is a classically trained actor who has done Shakespeare, so that's got to be a quadruple threat.
Fun fact: Ryan Gosling can also sing, he was on the Mickey Mouse Club with Justin Timberlake, Brittany Spears, and Christina Aguilera
You forgot to mention Patrick Swayze. He was #1 dancer!
He sure was, may he be resting in peace.
He was a dancer before he was an actor, not surprising at all!
These are actors/actresses that are not known for dancing
He was classically trained classic ballet dancer.
Not surprising that he was as ppl know he was trained
Sam Rockwell should have been number one! The fact that he played Bob Fosse alone!
I agree 110%
I totally agree with that.
What about Channing Tatum? Can’t believe he wasn’t included. Maybe because it’s not unknown that he is a great dancer.
Without Channing Tatum on this list it is unrealistic. He is an eclectic dancer who excels at many different styles.
"Top 20 Celebrities That Are Surprisingly Good Dancers"... I think the "surprisingly" kind of eliminates Channing Tatum. And Kevin Bacon. And John Travolta. (etc)😁
@@alexandraanselmo583 I thought Kevin Bacon couldn't dance.
CT being a good dancer is not a *surprise*, it's common knowledge.
Я тоже всё видео ждал когда скажут про Ченнинга Таттума
NEED A PART 2! You forgot Hugh Jackman, John Travolta, Channing Tatum just to name a few.
But are any of those really surprising? People KNOW they can dance.
Brides with Hugh Jackman, and John Travolta,
So true
The level of what is considered dancing in this list is astonishing. Comparing Christopher Walken to Vin Diesel...
I was a bit confused by how they chose, and who they placed where.
M.p
Oh my, suga hips!!
Christopher Walken is a Tap Dancer he has been doing it for years which is why he was asked to danced in the music video.
Agree, Christopher Walken is far superior to Vin Diesel when it comes to dancing as well as acting.
I can’t say I’m surprised to hear actors like Ryan Gosling or Christian Bale are good at dancing. People like these tend to be super committed to whatever the role they take on. I bet they’re perfectionists.
And Ryan started off dancing
@@trippleme1298 Ryan was a member of the New Mickey Mouse Club with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Justin Timberlake.
Ryan Gosling is likeable and extremely talented. Kate Hudson totally underrated talent. Tom Holland/Zendaya lip sync battle was the best. Joseph Gordon Levitt 🙌
Brendan Fraser? Loved his dance from Blast from the Past 😎👍
Yeah and he had some moves in "Caveman".
"Glau received a scholarship to a ballet company and was homeschooled from grades 3 to 12 to accommodate her ballet training. In addition to her classical ballet training, she studied tango and flamenco." She is a ballerina!
Her fight scenes in Serenity essentially are a ballet.
dancing is really helpful in acting, singing too, it teaches you how to be coordinated and makes you be more in touch with your body and the movements you make in front of the camera, so i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of actors took dancing lessons as well
Plus, you need rhythm to dance well and Rhythm helps everything, including timing.
My dream as a child was to be a performer. Growing up in NJ in the shadow of Broadway fed this. I took years of dance in various genres, acting, singing and musical instruments. I even took modeling lessons just to learn how to present myself better.
It’s time Ryan Gosling, Tom Hiddleston, or another of these fearless dancers remade the Fred Astaire movies. I named those two bc they are tall like Astaire. I could watch Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sam Rockwell, & Tom Holland dance every day for the rest of my life & not be bored.
Fred Astaire wasn't particularly tall, approx 5 .9-though I will give you that generally dancers are on the small side , (GENERALLY)
That clip of Tom Holland on the Lip Sync battle was AMAZING! I myself was trained as a classical ballet dancer, flamenco as well as many other genres and love to see good dancing.
John Travolta, Patrick Swayze, Cuba Gooding Jnr, Idris Elba, Hugh Jackman, Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, the list is endless..
Um everyone knows Hugh can dance he's a Broadway star
Excuse me.... WHERE is John Travolta, Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey???
And Jenna Dewan
Travolta was there in drag, Hairspray or whatever the name of that movie was
I agree. This list is crap
Hi, long time Grease fan.
The fact that Travolta can dance is not surprising.
I think that's why he's not on the list
How would any of them be surprising?
This is a list about celebrities who are surprisingly good dancers not a list about the celebrities we already know are good dancers like John Travolta, Kevin Bacon, Hugh Jackman, Channing Tatum, Jenna Dewan and many others.
No, darling, Kevin Bacon is beatiful, but HE IS NOT A DANCER!!! OMG!!!
THANK YOU 👏🏻
They've still missed the mark here, there are Plenty who can dance that were not mentioned. This list just felt sloppy which is our of the norm for this channel
@@theschipronouncedassky9142 these were ones that were meant to surprise us though. Those other ones are not surprising. We already know they can dance.
Channing and Jenna were dancers years before made it into acting!
Patrick Dempsey is a really good dancer. Watch his earlier movies and appeared on the Oscars in Tuxedo with Tails dancing like Fred Astaire. I think it might have been the same year Rob Lowe got in trouble for his dance with Snow White
It is my impression that many actors started off on Broadway so singing and dancing makes sense.
I am sorry, but not having Hugh Jackman on the list is a shame
Majka76 the word “surprisingly “ is in title ....
think they said surprising, like people we didn't know they were good dancer's. I was thinking the samething, till I realized the title.
Agree
He was on Broadway in 'Oklahoma' before he became a household name, it was well known that he could dance.
@@RavyniaGaming t.
They didn't even mention one of the best male dancers, Tatum Channing!
Tatum, can bust a move just like MC Hammer!
former male stripper and breakdancer. had to do intensive study to pull off his tap/dance routine in hail caesar, which he did superbly.
Umm they said people you would not expect to be good dancers. Everyone knows Channing Tatum is an amazing dancer. He was the lead in Step-up and Magic Mike it's quite well known.
Yeah, I guess we tent to forget they said “surprinsingly” good so yeah, we all already know Channing is amazing.
I think because these actors are not known to be dancers to begin with.
Alfonso has been dancing since he was a child. Seen him on Silver Spoons.
There is nothing sexier than a guy who can dance!
If I had only known that 35 years ago!
I can easily to falling in love 😘
it shows confidence and is so sexy !!
I agree...it makes little sense why boys are ridiculed and bullied for dancing. That skill later is so useful (and attractive)
I'm a guy and can't dance haha
I would have put Zoe Saldana at least in the honorable mentions. She was in the ballet movie Center Stage and apparently studied ballet as a kid.
Daniel Radcliffe can cut a freakin' rug! His performance in "How too Succeed..." really should have been acknowledged here.
I would definitely place him over some of these.
@@Gee-xb7rt Absolutely!
Amen!
@@Gee-xb7rt Over Vin Diesel definitely.
@@tazdaniels4869 Daniel is competent and gets bonus points for enthusiasm, most of these don't have that level of chutzpah. I feel like a lot of these just made the list because the women at Ms Mojo are past thirty and thirsty.
I’m surprised they didn’t mention that Kate Hudson‘s mom Goldie Hawn used to be a dancer in Goldies Hawn‘s mom on the dance studio
I love a man that can dance! I’m all googly eyed 👀
Umm you didn’t include the video Tom Holland’s fouetté turns, that is a something that everyone needs to see because he’s sooooo talented!!
Does NO ONE remember Alphonso Ribiero as a little boy, damcing a la MJ in the Pepsi commercial? We knew he could dance way before we ever saw him acting.
Alfonso starred in a show on Broadway called The Tap Dance Kid. That's how he ended up in the Pepsi commercial and then Silver Spoons.
Just looked that one up - great flashback!
Alfonso was the lead on Broadway in “The Tap Dance Kid.” He was a great child dancer and performer he began acting on television.
They must have forgotten his original "introduction" to America with Michael Jackson in a Pepsi commercial
James McAvoy has some great dance moves! He should have been on the list!
Needs more cowbell....and Cristopher Walken.
LOL Gotta have more cowbell
2 OF THE BARE NECESSITIES OF LIFE!!! ( ANOTHER 3 BEING BALOO, MOWGLI AND KING LOUIE!!!)
Fuckin right
Terry Crews....”that’s a big ass robot”
Also funny story about Christopher Walken. He was a die hard fan of Gene Kelly (as evidenced by his dancing style) and Kelly actually came to watch him perform that bar dance on the Pennies From Heaven shoot.
Terry said that he loves cute little white girls like you, Suga Lips!
@@terrytari1891 First off, whoa! Second, I'm just surprised that in those scenes that they showed Andre Braugher was able to keep it together.
R.I.P. Andre Braugher.
Benedict Cumberbatch is another surprisingly good dancer. I was shocked to see how smooth he can move.
Joaquin Phoenix...quadruple threat: acting, dancing, singing, playing guitar.
Joseph Gordon Levitt brought me here...loved em all
Me TOO. The only reason I watched ! 🦅
Uh what about Kevin Bacon!?! The one that started the solitary bust a move trend. Although I love Vin Diesel he belongs in the lower half. Drew Carrey deserves an honoable mention at least.
Kevin bacon gets at least several mentions in the mcu. That's how bad ass he is. And swayze. He got a few mentions too.
Definitely The Bacconator should be on this list
It was a double who danced in place of Bacon.
He is not surprisingly good. He is expectedly good :)
@@PassionGrows For the acrobatical moves yes but the regular dancing he did it.
ryan gosling is such a king
This was definitely fun to watch! Thank you!!!
Alfonso Ribeiro was a break dancer as a child and was in the Jacksons Pepsi commercial. Therefore his ability to dance isn't a surprise to those of us who grew up with him.🙄
and from the silver spoons tv show
I remember that commercial 🤣
Sam Rockwell is insane! Wow!
Can’t believe you left out the fact that Alfonso has been dancing since he was a kid appearing with MJ in a Pepsi commercial.
Seriously tho!!! Came to the comments just for that reason! Lol
And he stared in the play the Tap Dance Kid on Broadway when he was a kid!!!!
He was on Broadway for years as "The Tap Dance Kid" he was also in a show as a pre teen I think with Jusin Bateman where he did some dancing too.
The Terry Crews entry wasn't surprising, but I'm glad you added him.
3 AA of 20 people ain't bad I guess 😒
@Krystal H Everyone is dumb about something
I LOVE Terry Crews!
There could have and should have been so many more, but this is about good dancers that surprised people. And they always find a way to make us a token somehow...
Me seeing Tom Holland on this list & knowing he can dance. Wasn't surprising to me.
Sam Rockwell dancing in Charlie's Angels is still one of my fave scenes.
Tom Hiddlestone is just an all rounder. Love him.
I loved,loved,loved all of it. Always loved to dance and still do at the age of almost 73. This video made me so happy. Couldn't stop smiling.
Alfonso Ribiero starred as a child actor/dancer in the Tap Dance kid and was featured in the Pepsi ads of the 80’s dancing opposite Michael Jackson. So. He actually should’ve been #1
Are you serious with Vin Diesel!?!🤨
The Wayans Brothers, Patrick Swayze, John Travolta, Chris Tucker
So are we just going to IGNORE Richard Gere and his rap dancing in Chicago or Leonardo DiCaprio in Wolf of Wallstreet
Richard Gere isn't a good dancer.
Why is Alfonso Ribeiro such a surprise? He was the original "Tap Dance Kid" on Broadway in 1983. Terrible that Daniel Radcliffe and Uma Thurman didn't make the cut. They are superb dancers.
I think the goal was to name drop people you wouldn’t think of when you’re naming actors that can dance as well. Uma’s most iconic scene is a dance with John Travolta in Pulp Fiction so it’s not like people don’t know she can dance. And Daniel has been a visible Broadway star recently, even performing at the Tony’s so people are aware he can as well (BRILLIANTLY I might add). Most of the people here started in musical theater but most fans wouldn’t know that off the top of their head since they are doing non musical roles now for the most part. Alfonso is just on here cause people don’t give him the recognition he deserves though. The man played a younger version of Michael Jackson in a Pepsi commercial for crying out loud, he is a legend in my book.
Exactly! He also danced for/with MJ....no shocker
@@504CreoleCrystal I seem to remember he was in a video with Michael Jackson when he was a kid.
@@xsannes3884 Definitely! It was either a video or a commercial. You remember back in the day....quite a few commercials were big productions! Some were like real videos back then.....ahhhhh the good ole days
Yes it uma thurman in the Producers was astonishingly good!
JOHN TRAVOLTA!!omg how can you forget him??? Saturday Night Fever? Grease? Pulp Fiction? Hellloooo?
Damon wayans jr and john Travolta definitely deserve a spot. I'm always struck by how graceful they are with the tiniest dance moves
Yes, these are all awesome. So much fun to watch. I wish I had been a dancer
Mads Mikkelsen was the biggest surprise for me. Loves me some Mads!!!!
Then you MUST watch his latest movie Another Round. It ends with the most epic scene and exactly what the world in 2020 needs.
there are more and longer clips of him dancing.
Ryan Gosling made the list for La la Land, what about Emma Stone? And where’s Hugh Jackman?
Of course Mr. Hiddleston can dance and sing.. he's trained in theatre
While Ryan G. was fine in the La La Land dance, Emma Stone was right there kicking it too ! My crush on Sam Rockwell just got bigger ! Fun post, thank you !!
Alfonso Ribeiro wasn't that big of a surprise to me
I remembered seeing him dancing when he was on "Silver Spoons"and with Ricky Schroeder
Kathleen Henson exactly I was waiting for them to mention that but I guess that they didn’t know or just skipped over that whole fact.
I don't even know why he's on this list. His Wikipedia page lists him as a dancer and his first gig was a lead in a Broadway musical called The Tap Dance Kid. Why wouldn't he be able to dance?
He wasn't a surprise based on the Carlton dance. It's obvious that he could dance
Sorry... but ya'll missed Antonio Banderas... Love watching him dance.
Yes indeed Antonio can dance🕺🏼
Take that lead.
I know you do! I saw you peeping at him in a public bathroom stool smacking your lips!
terry tari 😂😂😂😭
Is it surprising that he's a good dancer, as per the name of this video? Or are his skills well known? (Hint, its the second one)
I think Richard Gere should have made this list before many of these people.
You're right! I won't bother to watch now that I know this!
Absolutely 💯.
Agreed!
Richard Gere surprised me in Chicago. I heard that he learned those numbers for that movie. If that is true, then it is even more surprising. I do wonder though, if there was a stand in for the closeup of his feet tapping. Holly Wood is so good at editing in stand-in's.
You are right. Patrick was an excellent dancer and had the looks too. He was amazing.
Damn, Marvel has some seriously multitalented actors!!
Right Marvel should do a musical movie
I want to see a dance off between Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch. Both are amazing dancers.
But she left out RDJ... 🤨
@@motherofchaos5519 Jeremy Renner can dance too, as well as Scarlett, Mark and a few others. And they're not on the list either.
And they left out Jeremy Renner who’s a great dancer.
