Movies, television, music, and dance are a potent combination that has left us all imprinted with indelible memories of onscreen magic moments. Well, one fan wanted to make a tribute to just how much big dance sequences have affected us, by bringing some of the most famous onscreen dancers together in one epic dance montage mashup video.

As you can see above, comedian and filmmaker Matthew Highton cut together a mashup video of some of the most famous TV and movie dance sequences. A lot of the characters and sequences spliced into the mashup are from the last 30 years or so of TV/film – so we’re talking after the actual era in which Hollywood was obsessed with musicals as a genre. The only point to make here is that when you truly step far enough back and look at it, there are so many famous moments of dancing in TV and film that stick with us forever, that it almost boggles the mind to try and remember them all.
The trend of onscreen dances becoming pop-culture gems shows no signs of slowing down, either. This mashup video contains both RRR and M3Gan, two films of very different kinds (Bollywood epic, low-budget horror/comedy) that each made an impact with dance sequence moments. The same goes for Netflix’s Wednesday being included in the mashup, as Jenna Ortega’s Goth-kid dance scene at a high school formal has become THE biggest .gif, meme, TikTok challenge, mashup video generator since it premiered near the end of last year. Dance isn’t going out of style on film anytime soon, so stay limber out there…
