Wearing high heels requires a lot of balance and practice before feeling comfortable in them. For many, walking in heels can be rather difficult, which would make dancing in them nearly impossible.
That’s not the case for this trio of men.
They have a passion and unique ability to bust a move in stilettos.
Introducing the Men in Heels.
Not only are these guys also Beyonce approved herself, but Men in Heels holds an element of raw talent and creativity that you won’t be able to find anywhere else.
The men behind the heels are three men from Paris, France by the names of Yanis Marshall, Arnaud and Mehd.
It’s a rare occurrence to see men wearing high heels in the first place, but these men were about to change that by rocking their signature black stilettos into their audition and absolutely own every moment of it.
People always seem confused that they wear heels since they’re more “feminine”. Even though, according to historical knowledge, the first known heels originally dated back to the Persian era for men to symbolize status.
Not only do they have a passion for dance, but they also have their own personal love for heels, too. In the pre-interview of the video, Yani Marshall says,
“I’ve always loved heels and my mother has about like 40 pairs of heels. I started dancing by myself and then i met those two”
And the rest would be history.
But they can be dangerous.
Especially since they dance in very high stilettos, there’s always a possibility of falling and if someone does, it’s definitely going to hurt.
At least they know that within that specialized niche, there’s always that factor to keep in mind. Right before going on stage, they even quickly prayed to not have a fall.
And so it begins.
The Men in Heels head to the stage and, after getting wished good luck, the iconic hit of spice girls radiates throughout the alls.
They blew everyone away instantly.
Within the first couple seconds of the performance, the crowd and the judges, including Simon Cowell himself, changed his face immediately. You can even hear the cheers getting louder.
I mean, their timing is so sharp and uniform as a group.
Packed full of Sass.
They have the gift of putting full emotion into their dance and of course, for this instance, it’s a sassy attitude. I mean, it has to go with the heels. I could feel the attitude all the way from my computer!
And they nailed every moment of the performance.
Every single moment had the crowd roaring as they waiting for the men to show them what was coming next. As they are a dance-only team, it was incredibly smart to use a classic to get everyone really in the mood for the sass.
The Judges loved it.
It got nothing but gleaming reviews from the judges! Everyone absolutely loved it so much. In fact, there was even a request for fewer clothes next time.
To no one’s surprise, it was an easy “yes” for all four judges and they couldn’t be more proud of the results they got.
“That was 10 times better than any female dancer we’ve seen on stage tonight.” -Alesha Dixon
Way to go guys!
This was just the beginning. The men in heels group would continue to do really well through the show.
They went to the semi-finals of the season only to get buzzed in the middle of their dance by Simon Cowell, making it the only time that button was used in a BGT final.
This setback wouldn’t stop the success of heel choreograph as the opportunities helped Yanis Marshall work with many prominent artists assisting with choreography and his own working on all-gender clothing wear.
They should be proud of the work they’ve done and the roots they set by going on the show.
They really brought the heat. See the full video below.
