Nicholas Brothers. The greatest dance sequence.

[RealFudd]

This is what talent and class looks like, something that is lacking today. Watching these two is watching moving art, so smooth, graceful, and elegant in the formal wear. Thanks guys.

[pamlabeltran]

The stair splits, nail it! And to top it off, they were not even breathing hard! I wish…I get tired just walking from the couch to the kitchen.

[FUNKTHEYEARS]

just pure Grade A perfection...

[jemjean]

OMG! This should be mandatory viewing by any of these rap, hip-hop idiots before they even consider themselves as "talented". These men are incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whenever their come up, this is the dance sequence I remember. AWESOME

[LaCriollaRoja]

I Love watching them! :D just AWESOME

[nevbeginajam]

you know is awesome when cab calloway gives this guys center stage.

[goodie1shoes]

Wow

[felixserolf2]

It doesn't get any better than this!!!!

[gentlecurrent]

What a contrast to the crap they sell us nowadays as 'entertainment'! I'd trade all movies from the last 30 years against this one any time.

Sadly, the movie and TV business seems to have forgotten how to create really high quality PG13 entertainment with style and class.

[jdpatterson100]

if I had tried that at any age,I'd still be in a wheelchair!!!!!! DAMN,OUTSTANDING & BRILLIANT.Whew!!!!

[MrDACooling]

A spectacular and sublime SENSATION

[fsl001]

Lord- a -mercy..... Simon Cowell take a ticket and get schooled !

[innit27]

love the look of terror on the saxophonists face as they jump round him

[shellrob12]

My God I am speechless!! Yes Laaaawd!!

[69McJesus]

This kind of exertion and exhilaration is what is missing from today's musical films. A few steps, CUT and splice, a few more steps, CUT and splice. These guys are amazing and boy can they sell it!

[tableek]

...makes me wonder what the reaction was in the movie theatre...this is the wild style for the 60+ crowd..

TBLK

[Ascreavie1]

Rocks my world

[preciousbash]

@Ascreavie1 TOTALLY ROCKS MINE TOO!!!!

[DEFinitivelyHis]

That's just craziness. Absolute brilliance. Only thing is I think I pulled my hamstring just lookin' at it too intensely. Ouuuuch!

[Pravie14]

Seriously. If you don't think this is friggin' fantastic, then go rent a Britney Spears video (no offense Britney - you can bump and grind with the best of them!). As a tap dancer, I can attest to their phenomenal skills... I just wonder why no one's heard of them!

[PONDERSOA]

WOW!!!! DAMN ..MOM YOU WERE RIGHT !!!!!!!!

[Tony7840]

The GREATEST dance team EVER!!!!!  Bar none!!

[notaroper60]

In an interview Fayard Nicholas said that they did that routine in one take. Simply amazing. These dancers now days can't even come close to these guys no matter how hard they try.

[bsbncandey]

@notaroper60 Please tell me that's a lie, like seriously? That's pure perfection right there!

[123barriejohn]

Who are the people who keep registering their "dislikes" on these posts? Is there something wrong with them?

[InTecknicolour]

nowadays if someone wanted to do those splits, they'd need cgi.

[AndrewRudin]

How on EARTH do they do that move where they go to a split and then, seemingly effortlessly, rise to a standing position again!? Totally amazing, and all done somehow with true elegance.

[Kariannhopes]

Fantastic - perfection! Tap Dancing CAN be exciting!

[charneve48]

absolutely fantastic.never seen anyone as good as these two,and that includes fred astaire and gene kelly.

[RB123chicks]

2:25....ouch



[AuburnWahine]

omg brothers were beyond excellent

[penelopetorribio]

I'm speechless. I have to get a pair of tap shoes! Then buy this video and then......

[houseofgogo]

Which one married Dorothy Dandridge?

[AuburnWahine]

[AuburnWahine]

[LeSuB1]

This video gives mr chills every time I see it. Wow!!!!



[ahgatta]

this brings tears to my eyes-you cant help but love these guys

[houseofgogo]

@ahgatta it has the same effect on me, thrilling (but i try and watch it alone, annoying to have to explain happy tears :) )

[ByronVortex]

They are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I tap dance myself and ive never in all my life seen that..... by the way im 9 years old!!!!!!!

[OldNoir]

:O

That makes me wanna run and jump around in my leather black shoes.

These two are brilliant!

[pinayrin1]

holy shit.

[czvallery]

how justin bieber can have a u tube million + hits on his music (apologies to those who love him) and this amazing team has under 40 thousand is just beyond me!

[rayharvey123]

health and safety went out the window, genius prevailed. mind blowing.

[rockettedog]

True artists and athletes! 

[dal4018]

@rockettedog Yes they along with the Berry Bros brought athleticism to tap dance

[harvey1954]

Poetry in motion !!

[TheREUNION2009]

To the 2 dummy's that hit dislike, WHAT MORE DID YOU WANT TO SEE?!

[dal4018]

@TheREUNION2009 They were probably blind

[hcabnekogcram]

@TheREUNION2009 Probably Rap fans.

[garlicblue6]

no comment....just watching it makes u happy

[murielsartre]

I'm glad we have this on film, no doubt. But can you imagine BEING THERE watching when this was filmed?

Daaaaamn.

[2004dale]

did they really do the splits while jumping down the stairs! freakin' gnarly!!!

[MegaDiva1999]

they move like  water or butter or something unreal...Dear God its heavanly to watch!

[taraander]

f=bomb un effin real whether it be martial arts,skateboarding or fill in the blank.The sheer physicality of these guys is unquestionably amazing.thank you somebody-ducludi2 for posting.

[lordandgrayson]

Incredible. The junk today that is called dancing with the so-called stars pales in comparrison

[skweegee1]

There is no talent left in the world....sigh..

[Fontdalfondo]

I feel my tendons tearing just from watching them do the splits down that giant staircase!

[datrooth007]

Very impressive wow

[MightyAshelyJr]

awersome



[kyjo72682]

wish I could move like that.. :-)

[nater8127]

what is that song called?

[kalifson]

I got it!! they're WARLOCKS!!, good ones of course, but they got powers!!!

[purplypassion]

0:12 Cab Calloway's like "okay you poeple are extreme dancers, I'm going to awkwardly go away now.."

[purplypassion]

I seriously don't think they're from earth. you know why? because gravity doesn't matter in their case

[boomkrakatoa]

It's amazing how that band just keeps on playing.

[bilvis48]

unbelieveable...incredible dancers and athletes!

[santanaquan]

CAB CALLOWAY!!!

[intothevoidn9n]

absolutely fantastic

[Osirusnation]

nice video...

[BellaMacVD]

Just.... not.... possible! @ _ @

[kalifson]

@BellaMacVD It's crazy, I mean HOW?!!!!!

[dal4018]

@BellaMacVD Anybody that would try this today would have relatives in traction

[dal4018]

@BellaMacVD Well they made it possible

[BellaMacVD]

@dal4018 hahahahaha true!!! 

[dal4018]

@BellaMacVD Thanks

[dal4018]

@BellaMacVD When the director said cut they both were ectastic because they didn't want to do a repeat performance

[DeishaGuy]

I swear Fayard landed right on his knee at :59 OMG! No wonder he had arthritis! And then he got back up with no hands WTH!

[TricksterDa]

Everyone, including the Nicholas Brothers themselves, makes mention of the fact that they performed this dance in one take - and I have no doubt they did. But I think they must have done this dance in its entirety at least twice, if you go by the editing and the different camera angles. And, if that is the case, then it makes what they did all the more remarkable.

[KoMmIzZaR98]

Law of gravity...what law of gravity. And who is this "Isaac Newton"...Isaac Newton got proven wrong by these guys!

[deZengo]

Only a bigcat would bring me back to such classical beauty! Gosh I love this!!! Thanks so much for sharing / posting!  Love it! deZengo

[aegisgfx]

They just put the same amount of effort into a 3 minute dance that I put into a 4 hour mountain bike ride.

[NanaBaakan]

@aegisgfx I know that's right, lol.

[gbrlgrct]

Much respect to their crotches.

[irnotdum]

Holy splits.

[Dismal626]

im not sure why, but i want to punch both of these guys in the face... really hard.

[323157]

That was amazingly well synchronized. Splendid stuff.

[KlaasVaak332]

They can say goodbye to their childsupport

[4mySweetheart369]

When the word "talent" really meant something when attached to artist such as the Nicholas brothers. I can't believe this kind of phenomenal talent has been lost to the new generations.

[UnexistedWords]

grammatik

[rossinilove]

Obviously, they've never heard of gravity because they defy it. Perfection.

[JubalCalif]

@rossinilove

Well said & well put! Sure there, is the Law of Gravity...but its obvious these two brothers never studied law !!!

[reneecalling]

@rossinilove You took the words right out of my mouth. : D

[dal4018]

@rossinilove AMEN TO THAT SIR!!!!!!!!!!!

[dal4018]

@rossinilove There are two ppl who are gravity bound

[wendyverdades]

Amazing but tell me someone. Do those stairs exhist somewhere in a museum?

[breathlessswagg]

Woah those splits

[neniiaaraLane]

omfg! :Dits great!

[rosynna]

The last sequence (minute) O.O

[MissSheilaBeila]

Absolutely AWESOME!! I get tickled at how closely Fayard would watch his younger brother, Harold, with every step. I'm out of breath just watching those two. Thank you for this clip!

[Jadadaja02]

Wow...OMG!

Fantastic. No one can compare.
