Depending on what generation you come from, you probably can recall some of the popular dances from your time.
A lot of us even practiced the dance’s in front of the mirror as kids. Ricardo Walker’s Crew is a dance crew that gives us an incredible evolution of dance from the 1950s until now. This is truly amazing, they nail each era down to the wardrobe!
From “Hound Dog” by Elvis Presley to “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC, these guys can do it all!
The evolution of dance starts with a little bit of Gene Kelly’s “Singing In The Rain,” before quickly jumping to “Hound Dog” by the King himself.
They go from song to song, changing dances and outfits with every new tune. After Elvis, “Tutti Frutti” by Little Richard comes on, followed by ”I Feel Good” by James Brown.
Michael Jackson and The Jackson Five pretty much make it onto every list—and this video is no exception. In this video, they dance to “I Want You Back.” Bell-bottoms and all, Ricardo Walker’s crew really put on a show!
When “Thriller” by Michael Jackson comes on, the dance crew is dressed just like the original music video.
One dancer has the signature black and red jacket that Michael wore in the “Thriller” music video, while the rest of them are dressed as zombies.
After that, “What a Feeling” by Irene Cara starts playing and four of the male dancers are in ’80s-style leotards having a blast!
You can’t do an evolution of music without “Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer—and the baggy pants are a must!
Something about the “hammer time” dance is just so catchy, maybe it’s those unique baggy pants. Whatever it is, people love it!
Another legendary song that Ricardo Walker’s crew dances to in the evolution is “Vogue,” by Madonna. After that, the Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody” is the next choice and they have that dance down perfectly!
NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” is perfect for the five dancers—and they follow it up with “Single Ladies” by Beyoncé.
There are so many famous dances over the years, Ricardo Walker’s crew knows them all. “Single Ladies” is one that almost every girl out there has done. “Crank That” by Soulja Boy is one most of the younger generation has surely tried to do.
“Gangnam Style” by PSY was also in the dance evolution—after all, it was a video that a billion views! Of course, they had to throw some Drake in there to close it out.
Drake’s “In My Feelings” and “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X close out the ’50s dance evolution.
Drakes definitely one of the most influential artists right now, so that’s right on point. Lil Nas X is a great choice to close out with because that song was huge in 2019.
People on YouTube absolutely loved the dance evolution. Almost eight million viewed the brilliant video and 15,000 people commented.
“can we appreciate the fact that the costumes probably took so long to find everything , shoes , hair done etc. … don’t get me wrong the dancing amazing.” Said one YouTube user.
“This was like time travel through dance. I was born in early 60’s. Made me smile so much!! Thank you!” Said another.
This evolution of dance from the ’50s until now is spot on, and Ricardo Walker’s Crew nailed it. To see the awesome routine for yourself, watch the video below!
