In the 1900s the Austerlitz family in Omaha, Lutheran German emigrants, moved to New York City in hopes of finding fortune through their children’s vaudeville talents. The son wore a top hat and studied tango, waltz, and other ballroom dances. He would become Fred Astaire.

Gillian Lynne did so badly in school teachers thought she had a learning disorder and her mom took her to a doctor. Lynne began dancing to his radio; the doctor said: She’s not disordered, she’s a dancer; put her in dance school. Lynne became a world-renowned dancer and music theater choreographer.

Legends are not made, they’re born…is that how the saying goes? Or something kind of like that…?
Whatever the case, I think you’ll agree with me very shortly that a 4-year-old girl named Charlie will now forever be remembered for her hilarious and defiant attitude that came out in full force during a dance recital that was thankfully captured on video.
The little girl’s name is Charlie and, as you’ll see in the videos below, she stood motionless and refused to move a single muscle during the recital while wearing a tutu for six whole minutes while her fellow dancers got down to business.
@chubbybeagle Went to my niece’s outdoor dance recital and witnessed this legend. #dancrecital #legend
Charlie’s mother, Tiffany Cosby, didn’t realize her daughter become TikTok famous until a co-worker told her about it.
Tiffany asked her daughter why she stood motionless during the recital and Charlie replied, “there were a lot of people.” Well, she’s not wrong about that…
At the end of the recital, Charlie finally did give in and she decided to dance just a little bit when she was moved away from being front and center…I guess she just couldn’t resist.
@chubbybeagle With permission from this icon’s mother, @cosbyt8 , here is the only movement recorded during her 6 minute performance #dancrecital #legend
Tiffany said about Charlie,
“We were actually shocked she did dance in the finale.
I honestly think it was because she was in the back row.
She is really animated and outgoing if it’s in a small group of people she knows.”
This kid is a riot!

This is wonderful!
The PAC Dance Team of Arizona’s Walden Grove High School recently went viral with a perfectly executed The Avengers dance routine. This comes a year after they went viral for a Harry Potter themed dance. In fact, this is their third time their choreography and costumes have taken over the internet – so they’re very legit.
This time, the PAC Dance Team dazzled at their Homecoming assembly with a routine based on Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
The dancers were out of this world. Watch below:
The group performed to hits like Snap Yo Fingers by Lil Jon, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, and Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys. They also included dialogue from both films for added drama.
For seven minutes, dancers battled it out, good guys versus bad, for control of the universe, with the Avengers emerging victorious (obviously).
Since its posting last week, the video has amassed over 2.5 million views. And it’s no wonder! These dancers are so talented and creative, and they really know how to please a crowd.

A few years ago, the troupe auditioned for America’s Got Talent with a dance inspired by Wizard of Oz. That performance was their first to go viral – the video got almost 3.8 million views.
Their Harry Potter routine started with a scene showing Harry in his cupboard under the stairs, then ends with his sorting into Gryffindor House. That video got around 12 million views.
THE HERMIONE GRANGER shared our video?! Wow!! Thank you Emma Watson!!

Dancing is one of those universal languages, like music and art. Everyone loves to move and see movement with choreography, fun costumes and exciting themes. Wouldn’t it be great if other groups, whether schools or clubs, challenged each other to come up with more of these over the top productions?
Because we clearly cannot get enough.

Christopher Walken is now 76-years-old and he’s cooler than ever. And he just gets better with age, doesn’t he?
Let’s run down just a small list of the movies he’s given great performances in: Pulp Fiction, The Deer Hunter, Catch Me if You Can, True Romance.
And let’s not forget about two highly underrated Walken films: At Close Range (as Sean Penn’s criminal father) and Biloxi Blues.
Oh, and another thing: the man can dance.
A lot of people don’t know that Walken started out his career in the entertainment industry as a dancer. He actually started dancing at the age of three. Walken said,
“It was very typical for people—and I mean working-class people—to send their kids to dancing school. You’d learn ballet, tap, acrobatics, usually you’d even learn to sing a song.”
For a lot of folks, their first introduction to Walken’s smooth moves was from the 2001 music video for Fatboy Slim’s Weapon of Choice. The video was directed by Spike Jonze and a lot of people realized for the first time that Walken was a very talented dancer.
None other than Liza Minnelli said about Walken,
“I’d been around dancers my whole life, having watched my parents make musicals at MGM, and Chris reminded me of so many of the dancers I knew growing up. He’s talented in every way.”
That’s pretty high praise from a Hollywood icon who grew up in the industry.
Here’s the full video for your viewing pleasure.
The man is an American treasure.
No doubt about that.
