Dance in Movies: From Musicals to TikTok Screens

From Fred Astaire to High School Musical to TikTok dances with millions of views, film has always shaped dance trends.

Though social media has had its' positive and negative effects, it will forever leave an impact on the dance world. Through the power of social media, dancers are able to take class, audition, and even learn choreography for fun.

Movies and social platforms make choreography global — you can learn the same routine as someone halfway across the world. Dance on screen democratizes the art, making it accessible to all.

But please remember: don't only come alive when a camera appears; you should always dance to your fullest potential no matter who is watching.
