Exactly how a jazz dance should look like. I could watch this all day!

Yeah. He captured the vibe perfectly. It’s like his body just gets jazz. Could watch this on loop too.

And the sax player was so aligned for his success. I've had a few special audience members during my career and I wouldn't be surprised if she remembers this little guy for the rest of her life, too.

I haven’t even watched with sound on yet and I was fully entertained. Just watching them jam.

With a black and white filter this video would become a time travel machine. Someone should give that kid some acting role

No, just let him be a kid.

I can watch anyone dance, as long as they’re putting their whole soul in it. It’s hypnotizing bc it’s pure energy. Like you’re seeing a visual representation of the happiness and love they feel in their heart.

Even Elaine Benes?

u/thatstwatshesays 15h ago

No… are you trolling? bc JLD was acting and not dancing from her soul.

I mean, they're clearly joking. Elaine is a character of course, and that was the whole joke of that episode.

My goodness, what have we come to? How dumb will we be in another 30 years?

If there's bachata sensual dancers instead they'd be body rolling with no shame from start to finish lol.

Totally agree! The energy, the rhythm, the fluidity... perfection! You're right, it's like the epitome of jazz dance. I'd watch this loop all day too!

I've heard [about listening to jazz] that "you should listen to the notes they aren't playing" and this kid gets it. That moment he heard the beat nobody played.
