Dance Yrself Clean: The Supercut You Deserve This Week

Kick off your Sunday shoes.
By  · Published on August 18th, 2017

Kick off your Sunday shoes.

It’s Friday afternoon, it’s been a long, stressful, and let’s admit it, pretty frightening week. As such, you deserve a mind-break, a few minutes of pure, utter, indisputable escapism, and the wonderful world of film is here to help you.

Aron Koszeg has done us all the beautiful favor of finding dance scenes from more than 100 movies (list below), painstakingly editing them together, and setting them to some lively, toe-tapping tunes. I don’t have anything pithy or analytical to share here, rather I’ll just advise you to turn up whatever device you’re on as loud as you can and feel 100% free and in fact entitled to dance your ass off. Eat, drink and be merry, people; I’m just saying.
