Aziraphale's Gavotte Dance with Original Music, Behind-the-Scenes Take 2 - Good Omens

[@judyloukides]

And you can see the exact moment Aziraphale turns back into Michael at the end.

[@nineblackgoats]

They're both so pleased with themselves, too 😂

[@tiffanyc2]

I'm convinced he has multiple people living in that body. He can be so many things.

[@finnsempire5671]

Michael and Aziraphale are both the same person from his funeral in the future so he will be a time lord god said so we’re going to be time lords 😊 Simple

I just imagine azirphale inviting crowley over and putting on an ENTIRE performance of his newly learned damce for him. And at the end, crowley just staring and saying "what in the nine circles was THAT?"

[@kikidevine694]

Aziraphale would end up getting Crowley to join the club

[@Allegro11Maestoso]

Yeah but deep down inside he was beaming like the rest of us here 🥰🤣

[@KindessisEternal]

Michael Sheen looks like he's having so much fun! ^_^ I wonder how long it took him to learn the moves for this scene.

[@mattphillips3537]

If given a choice between reliving this or his Twilight laugh, which do you think he’d pick.

[@BirdieNoodle]

he’s *Michael* it either took him too long or just a few hours

[@godfrey_approves]

Fun fact: if you listen to this and then the music from the scene right after it with the demons having their little disco thing in Hell, it's the same song, just in a different style!! I wish they'd kept this music for the show cause that's a lovely detail Edit: So it turns out I am Silly and that this music is actually "I Am A Courtier Grave And Serious" from Gilbert and Sullivan and that the disco thing in Hell was a 70s style adaptation of it

[@KoiYakultGreenTea]

OMG at the end when he keeps looking back and forward he looks like either a little kid or a puppy going DID YOU SEE ME DID YOU SEE ME I DID THE THING

[@okaminess]

Omg right?!?!!?

[@okaminess]

And wasn't Crowley supposed to be sleeping for ages during this time as was outlined in the original text?

[@talia77us]

The energy that Michael's tongue put in it is astounding. Seriously though, who wouldn't want to be in the same room as that man?

[@XxMissZodiacxX]

Fun Fact: When you dance the gavotte, the first step/move is to kiss your partner. SO. Aziraphale was probably learning it to teach Crowley, and it's why he was so sad when it eventually went out of style after the years passed. (When he probably couldn't work up the nerve to ask.) My heart is exploding-

[@milkyoolong42]

this shouldn't bring me half as much joy as it does

No, no, it should bring you so much joy and it does and all is right with the world!

The dislike is from Gabriel for too many frivolities. 😂

[@sabrinaduckett5057]

I want to believe that Neil Gaiman gave a prompt of encouragement before starting this shoot: "Think gay thoughts!" I love this scene so much.

[@kashiichan]

Let's be real with ourselves, here: Michael doesn't need the reminder lol

[@tigristhelynx7224]

Nobody is talking about the amount of elbow the backup dancer was doing in the beginning. He wields it like a weapon. Reminds me of the waiters in Hello Dolly. Even in the dull dingy black and white, Michael's smile is a ray of sunshine beaming through dark clouds. Just beautiful!

[@flavianesilva1979]

Michael Sheen is a treasure of humanity and I can prove it:

[@danielledeschamps3769]

He really is an angel, he gets so happy that it makes me happy! I hope he realizes how many people he makes smile. ☺

[@sunnygreenwood4126]

The moments of pure joy in his face makes me shed tears. Tickety-boo

[@25offcds62]

He’s having so much fun!

[@Sentientmatter8]

It's a choice to portray the gavotte, a "courtly dance for couples" as being danced all by men.

[@lindildeev5721]

I'm actually wondering if it's really a gavotte because the music and the legs moves remind me more of the can-can.

[@ScarySadFlan]

The narration said that Aziraphale learned the gavotte at a "discreet gentlemen's club" (a/k/a a gay club) so it could've been danced by couples, just not male-female couples.

[@sopyleecrypt6899]

Well I rather think that’s the point 😁 Aziriphale belongs to a “gentlemen’s club” where they dance lovely dances together.

[@hofficalz]

He owns a bookshop in Soho. Soho, honey

[@BirdieNoodle]

I just learned really recently that Azi waited for hundreds of years to have him and Crowley dance this because you have to kiss your partner at the end and that’s why he was so upset when it fell out of fashion 😭

[@mscatmoon]

Dancing *and* kissing at the gentelmen's club? So that's why he never told Crowley about it!

[@lulu480]

Someone I just can’t see Crowley actually doing this dance. No matter how much he loves Azirafale. Makes me smile just thinking about Azirafale trying to talk Crowley’s into it.

[@clotildefhns2204]

People!! One of the things the Gavotte was known for was that it involved kissing your dance partner(s)! Look it up.

[@playlistnation423]

Fun fact: the 19th century column-dance version of the gavotte has absolutely nothing to do with the 16-17th century peasant kissing dance version.

[@amberlynightengale8382]

He's just so silly I love him

[@Sueb18631]

The music used in this scene is from Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Gondoliers". It's a piano variation of a passage from a song in the score called "I Am a Courtier Grave and Serious". Just sayin'. :)

[@erikhanson1162]

Feeding my inner G&S geek here - I felt so awesome when I recognized this song, especially since one of the lyrics of this song is, "Now, a gavotte perform sedately, offer your hand with conscious pride! Take an attitude not too stately, still sufficiently dignified!" I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when they discussed how to choose and include this song.

[@Sueb18631]

@@erikhanson1162 That's awesome!! I felt the same way, and it was totally unexpected! I was like "Hey!! I KNOW that song!!" :) Somebody involved in the show must be a G&S fan because they would have had to be very familiar with the work to know about this song!
