Groups Of Dancers Face Off And Startle The Audience With Passionate 'Dirty Dancing' Performance

Apr 20, 2020

Dancing has been a part of culture ever since humans have been bipedal. Popular dances have been a huge part of pop culture ever since the twist came out. Jazz, swing, hip-hop, and even the waltz have all shaped many lives.

One group of dancers from the Bodscheller dance school in Germany created a stunning performance referencing the movie Dirty Dancing, where male and female dancers stunned the audience at an Oktoberfest event. Their sizzling routine made nods to various elements of the sexy film and impressed the audience greatly.

The ’80s has become particularly famous for having a series of movie hits that affected the way people danced. First, there was Footloose with Kevin Bacon’s incredible moves. Then John Travolta stole the show with his disco dance moves in Staying Alive. He influenced pop culture again with Hairspray later in 2007. The dance moves of the ’80s are still danced today and are favorites among the old and young alike.

One group of people who were recently celebrating Oktoberfest performed at the Bodscheller dance school. Little did they know that a simple dance would become one of the most memorable moments of their careers. In the hall of Oktoberfest, many people were sitting at their tables and chatting lightly while they were waiting for the entertainment to begin. A few people were sipping on their beers and other drinks, without the slightest clue that they were about to be treated to a nostalgic and fun dancing display.

Soon several pairs of young women and men entered the room to a happy and upbeat song. They skipped along to the rhythm as they entered the room. Once the audience noticed the dancers, they began to clap along to the music, encouraging the dancers as they moved to the center of the room. The couples got into position by facing their dance partners. The audience was confused at first, believing it was a simple high school performance. The dancers seemed hesitant, waiting for the music to begin. As they glanced at each other furtively, the music finally started.

The upbeat jams changed to a classic of the ’80s, the first notes of the famous Dirty Dancing song (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life began to play. The iconic song encouraged the young dancers who quickly changed from skeptical high schoolers into confident ballroom dancers. Several members of the audience took out their phones to record the event.

Yet, they got another surprise when all the high schooler gentlemen picked up their dancing partners to mirror the classic dance moves from the movie. The audience gasped and applauded, shocked at their strength and agility. The iconic lift scene was nailed by the young performers and everyone in the audience started cheering.
