'In the Heights' Choreographer Reviews Dance Scenes from Movies | Vanity Fair

[@lexis4490]

If you aren’t winning something for this choreography, I don’t know what more a person needs to do. This was modern choreography with classical techniques. Spectacular!

[@Lowbudgetcoverstoo]

HE WAS HAIR IN STEP UP 2, 4, 5. YALL HES A REEEAL ONE. Much respect 👏🏻 Jon M. Chi’s first movie he directed was actually Step up 2. LOVE THIS

[@fernandabluntkrasinski9026]

In the Heights' When the Sun Goes Down was for me one of the most beautiful musical numbers in cinema history

[@lalabear6]

I have watched In The Heights at least 5 times and after the 1st it's all for the artistry this movie is a beautiful piece of art and EVERYTHING comes together in such a beautiful way.

[@MissRyanAngel]

I worked as a Universal Studios tour guide and a fun fact about Singing in the Rain is that they had to add milk to the water so that it would show up on camera.

[@mariannesouza8326]

No way?! That’s fascinating; thank you! 😀 ☔️

[@rhianturner7812]

Hearing someone talk about tap dancing in one of these reviews makes me so happy, nobody ever talks about tapping!

[@mariannesouza8326]

I know; love tap!

[@maylinjx]

Wow this choreographer has made some insane dances in movies

[@belle-ashton2167]

The dance sequences in Spielberg’s West Side Story were incredible

[@gabbyluidens813]

I love the choreography in In the Heights and then I learned it was Chris Scott who is one of my favorite choreographers and it all made sense. Loved getting to see this breakdown!

[@JazzzzAH]

I’ve loved Chris Scott since the Step Up days. I never watched that Teen Beach movie but this definitely made me want to see it

[@guppy8073]

I highly recommend Teen Beach Movie, I watched it once as a kid and then more recently as an adult and was blown away by how much I remembered and how charming it was!

[@mar2873]

Christopher Scott has been killing it for years!

[@NaviNeku24]

Honestly, my favorite dance moment was the very end of Carnaval de Barrio. It was so joyful and I just wanted to be a part of it!

[@saharl.simmons4147]

The choreography MADE this film! Great job!

[@bayaticolleen]

BROOO NO WONDER THE CHOREO FOR IN THE HEIGHTS WAS SO GOOD HE DID TEEN BEACH MOVIE

[@thebratqueen]

I am a simple woman: I see Christopher Scott, I click.

[@patsykiniry3564]

teen beach movie choreo is so iconic tbh... there's that one part that people still remember like it went viral on tiktok a little while ago

[@JillianBarnowsky]

Kind of a bummer that teen beach movie has such a “kids Disney” reputation because the choreography is incredible...like one of the best dancing movies of the 2010s

[@ashleychua2023]

The choreography for In The Heights is INCREDIBLE!!! 😍😍

[@Anonymous18531]

9:43 It's so funny he says that, because as happy as Gene Kelly looks in that number, he filmed it with a 100+ degree fever. That must have been incredibly uncomfortable and miserable, but he powered through.

[@lozainepereira1369]

I think knowing what dancers are like, despite his fever he probably still really loved doing it. Also probably why he still went ahead and did it even with his fever 😍

[@TheNormExperience]

Was looking for this comment

[@LovedByYou]

I watched the club scene in the movie. I was like okay, this right here is authentic.

[@mariannesouza8326]

I love that he knows about the Nicholas brothers and has introduced them to a new generation. They were amazing!

[@ammaleslie509]

Knowing about the Nicholas Brothers is a low bar.. they are really important. Anyone who knows anything about tap or dance has heard of them!

[@mariannesouza8326]

@@ammaleslie509 YOU’RE a low bar!!

[@gollibee]

i could have watched him talk about in the heights forever please

[@HollyTucci]

I'm so proud to say that Chris taught a choreo class when I was little❤

[@heidihansen5793]

Stormy Weather was one shot without any rehearsal. That's how good the Nicolas Brothers were!

[@sayitaintsarge]

me watching this: "wait a minute, in the heights just came out!" i been watching all 3+ year old videos lately, so seeing one less than a week old was a shock lol

[@rftg1793]

Wow! This choreographer is amazing!

[@nicole4589]

The intricacy of this is amazing to me, I didn't think about this at all while watching but it was there

[@manuelseda9197]

96,000 is so iconic!

[@OkraDayss]

This was so interesting! I loved In the Heights!! It’s now one of my favorite musicals

[@arodrigo24]

This was great more choreography breakdowns please

[@pepperminttree]

Choreographers are amazing

[@morgaaaaaa]

loved the choreography in all these films

[@alltheleaveswerebrown]

bring this guy back! he's awesome!

[@andybelloland]

I grew up on 180St. ITH and went to Incarnation School on 175th. St where most of the movie was film and I loved the movie. I saw ITH at 37Arts off Broadway and after the show I ran into LMM in the lobby and told him that I loved the show and that he would win a Tony Award. The Broadway show was excellent and I've seen the movie three times in the theater and twice on HBOMax. Alabanza to Christopher Scott.

[@victoriavvc]

I didn't know that I loved his choreography, but hey, I now I know.

[@chrisspoohbear8903]

I can't believe mamma mia didn't feature with the amount of choreography in certain numbers

[@TheReniebeany]

Loved In the Heights - thank you Christopher Scott - brilliant!!!

[@katemiller3796]

John deluca wasn’t a dancer? That shocked me 😂

[@AnnaLizzyRose]

He also did choreo for some of the Step Up films

[@ramandeepnijjar8281]

Wow this was so interesting! And I LOVE tap. It is one of my favourite dance styles to do.

[@LeBeautiful]

love me some choreography tips and tricks 🔥🔥

[@kaitlynabellar7625]

Amazing!!!!!😱😱😱

[@MelHyde]

Yes love this

[@vaibhavkumar2701]

See bollywood movie and then breakdown it please.

[@spamandkimchi]

I looooove how happy he gets talking about Stormy Weather. Overall he was just so excited to talk about others' choreography and the talent of the actors.

[@clauquinterof]

Wow I love this

[@terrylewis_]

I am a mid 30's woman who legitimately likes Teen Beach Movie, unironically. There's a bit of shame there, but I also don't care. There's some really solid songs!

[@PJ-iy7sy]

❤️🔥

[@rachelolivia3541]

I wish this was more of an explanation as to why there was no bachata in this movie or musical because Washington Heights is 76% Dominican populated

[@startsmart14]

Chris LXD Scott! iykyk :)

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I like dancing 💃 🕺

[@Dayo_kid]

Nah make a serious of danced that never got to be seen on screen

[@t4health527]

Anyone know why he keeps saying 96,000?

[@anahicevallos7939]

Thats the name of one of the songs in "In the Heights "

[@lynnes97]

It’s the amount of the winning lottery ticket.

So this is the guy that trained all those white people to dance like they were brown?? What a pro

[@andreanavarro2518]

Nope, the dancers were all latinos and so where the actors. We latinos come in all colors which is a beautiful things so please stop Americanizing the skin color situation that occurs in the USA to what actually happens in Latin America

[@lexis4490]

@@andreanavarro2518 People assume if you are black, you are African American or African, and if you are white, you are European or a real American. So small minded.

[@outlanderfrog]

Lol. You tried.

[@andreanavarro2518]

@@lexis4490 Exactly!! I don’t think foreigners know that we latinos are very diverse. We have a mixture of indigenous roots, African roots, Spanish or Portugal roots, and even Asian roots thanks to all the migration that happens a long time ago. And this is why I love being Latina!!
