every once in a while a random dance
sequence is in order
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
unexpected dance scenes in non dance
movies for this list we’re looking at
those dance scenes that occur in films
that are in no way about dancing some
dance moves and don’t really feature
other singing or dancing these scenes
are notable not only for being
entertaining but also because they’re
just so gosh-darn out of the blue and
who doesn’t enjoy an impromptu dance-off
funny isn’t it would never suspect that
everyone at this school is a
professional dancer how Vidya favored us
about your ghosts no I’m sick of that
subject oh dear your lighten up I would
rather talk about number 10 beetlejuice
a spontaneous dance sequence might be
par for the course at some Art House
dinner parties but this unrehearsed
table groove can be attributed more –
ghostly intervention than an attempt at
the avant-garde are you doing this all
night on a drink aroma stop banana peel
Imani come it may have been intended to
send the family and their dinner guests
running but who doesn’t like getting
possessed by ghosts and dancing –
Jamaican folk songs
however it doesn’t end all that well for
these party guests come to think of it
number nine little miss sunshine please
give a warm welcome to miss olive Hoover
Rick James super freak probably isn’t
the pic du jour for many children’s
beauty pageants but that’s precisely why
it works for this scene get off the
street
olive and her family finally make it to
see her perform even carting the body of
a deceased relative along for the ride
um I’d like to dedicate this to my
grandpa who showed me these moves oh
that is so sweet
is he here where’s your grandpa right
here in the trunk of our car never ones
to be deterred and definitely not
concerned with notions up for priety the
young beauty queen in the making and her
family bust out some serious moves
they’re all winners in our book yeah
right number eight Slumdog Millionaire
there may officially be no better way to
wrap up a movie than with a
choreographed dance sequence by catching
Dashami on a kidney does anybody need a
Salman after winning the Indian version
of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
the film’s protagonist is reunited with
his ladylove the dance scene may seem
like a non sequitur but as a culmination
of the film it seems like the perfect
celebration
not to mention we get treated to some
pretty awesome music
best end credits ever
go ahead J like wish anything you think
of anything number seven this is the end
after arriving in heaven most folks
would probably want to see their loved
ones who made it through the rapture but
crafty Jay Baruchel bucks convention and
decides to rejoice with a dance sequence
naturally
audiences not only got to see a fun
dancing but we’re also treated to a
full-on Backstreet Boys reunion that
also features some of our favorite stars
doing that dance you learned way back in
the 90s but pretended was stupid
so how was that for you number six the
40 year old virgin when the
and you put her
losing your virginity to the one you
love can be a beautiful and emotional
experience it can be so beautiful and
emotional that it’s punctuated by a
hippie five dance party in the grassy
hills
what’s even more entertaining is
watching shirtless Paul Rudd and Seth
Rogen hopping around to a cool
psychedelic melody this is where
nothing screams friendship like
spontaneous choreography
I love the Smiths sorry I said I love
the Smiths number five 500 days of
summer you if Kasumi is like this myth
okay just when you thought the movie
couldn’t get any quirkier we’re treated
to Joseph gordon-levitt cutting a rug
across town
it’s a cute scene in a cute movie that
shows that apparently falling in love
with your personal Manic Pixie dream
girl can send a person into a hall &
oates powered dance craze complete with
cartoon birdies not that we’re
necessarily complaining
we loved seeing flash mobs before flash
mobs were thing number 4 The Breakfast
Club
it is now seven oh six you have exactly
eight hours and 54 minutes to think
about why you’re here to ponder the
error of your ways
what happens when you put a jock a nerd
a princess a burnout and a recluse
together
well they dance they dance like their
detentions depend on it
it’s a dance medley in full-on 80s glory
that reminds us that air guitar is
really all some folks are capable of
but at least we can tell they had fun
and if you can’t wear a foot bandanna
while dancing out your suburban rage win
can you number three
risky business
just take those old it was the dance
sequence that sent a thousand kids
crashing into their parents furniture
it also propelled Tom Cruise to
superstar status he plays a team that
has the time of his life well his
parents are away
his foray into the world of prostitution
and pimps is precluded by a late-night
dance in his undies and a dresser and
Tom Cruise showed off his smooth moves
once again as Les Grossman in Tropic
Thunder why you all in my ear talk it
off man he’s really let himself go has
he yeah yo don’t be like that
number two Napoleon Dynamite yes he
thought the rhythm moved through him and
he just had to dance
Bassam even said so
in an otherwise muted movie this dance
sequence stands out as a random but
completely amusing deviation from the
subdued canvas of the rest of the film
so helping
Napoleon has been secretly practicing
his moves for some time waiting for the
right moment to show them off and show
them off he does this would almost make
us want to vote for Pedro
before our top pick shows us some smooth
moves here are a few honorable mentions
you
moped if you’re blue and you don’t know
where to go – why don’t you go where
fashion see and we’ve got one
dishonorable mention as well
now take on this
number one Pulp Fiction a moment you’ve
all been waiting for
so world famous Jackrabbit slims twists
contest since the days of Reservoir Dogs
Quentin Tarantino’s inclusion of a dance
sequence and his otherwise gritty films
has been like a palate cleanser for the
audience
and it seems rather fitting that john
travolta given his history with dancing
and movies shares the scene in question
from pulp fiction and now the young this
year in LA dom have rung the chapel even
in spite of the light-hearted nature of
the dance there’s an intensity in the
faces of the characters that reminds you
someone’s probably gonna die in the
movie soon
or at least come close do you agree with
