PRINCE - The Dancer

In this video i take a look at, and highlight another of Prince’s incredible talents. His unique dancing which often gets overlooked by the general public

[@drumrboi72]

He's the only entertainer in musical history that could BOTH play the hell out of a guitar AND dance his a$$ off!

[@ATLienForLife]

True that

[@lavenderbee3611]

And sing those incredible octaves. To dance and sing without being breathless is a major skill, nobody compares.

[@angiliaclark3730]

Please don't forget about his piano skills 💜💥💟👾✊️

[@serenasantiago1964]

It still doesn't seem real. Someone with all of that talent and genius isn't here physically, but still is in our hearts. I miss him so dearly. Although I've never met him personally, I think all that love him know him thru his music. Nobody can ever take the memories or the music from us. May we live to see the dawn. Peace, and be wild!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@patriciawise2277]

Prince has a flowing beauty that’s simply in all he gave‼️There’s only Prince there are no Kings💜 💋

[@ontheone5175]

He gave us all the talent he had. He literally sacrificed his body, and ultimately his life (as he was trying to deal with the pain), just to share his incomparable talents with us. One of the first things he told us was “All of this and more is ‘For You’. With love, sincerity and deepest care. My life with you I share”. He said it and he did it. He shared and gave us all he had. This continues to hurt so bad.😢💜☔️💜

[@yourfairyking]

Prince's splits were probably his most impressive move. Just the fact he could do them on a whim, and mix with his mic play, you've got a match made in heaven.

[@BrandonPatrk317]

Mic play AND guitar play

[@karencarbonaro7264]

Yes he is Amazing. All his dancing caused his pain in later years. His plan was 2 🐝The Greatest. And he is.!! Miss him Dearly. The Best I've ever known. PRINCE was a gift from God. And he was only lent 2 us. 4 how ever long then God needed back. R.I.P My Prince. Never 2🐝4gotten. "Welcome 2 The Dawn''

[@drlondon429]

Loved the footage with the groove and him brushing his teeth 😆. Only Prince can make that look funky.

[@GenXfrom75]

Listen, Michael was a great performer. But Prince was the most prolific creator we've ever had. I would much rather watch Prince at work than anyone else on Earth at any time. He literally gave us everything he had. And his dancing ability was sensual and breathtaking!

[@toobadsapphire7]

I agree with everything you said... Don't get me wrong I love Michael too but Prince just had a bigger influence on me, I've always liked him better

[@muluemebetkebede205]

He’s the best dancer, he’s fashionable, handsome, and talented. And he’s an amazing person and he can do anything, one person! Miss him. ❤️💜👑💔🖤

[@shakiracharriez9811]

Prince was a amazing, talented, awesome dancer and his dancing was sexy, sensual and electrifying. It was so sad to see with all the split, jumping off the speakers and rafters for years taking a toll on his body. I want to thank Prince who gave 110 percent of his heart, soul and spirit to all us to appreciate his music and presence. 💜🥰🤗🕺🏽💜

This was a great video as a true Prince fan thank you🥰

[@MrAntsworldofPrince]

@angiliaclark3730 thank you so much really appreciate it

[@missmiko1]

I would disagree about MJ being the greatest dancer. He mastered a certain kind of dance but Prince was more graceful and energetic. And he was able to incorporate so much emotion into his dancing. I always found MJ to be a bit robotic.

[@purpleflowers699]

🖤💜🖤I completely agree with you. Of course when you do the same moves over and over again you’re going to become very good at doing them. So mj did become an expert at doing the moonwalk, but in mj’s videos most of the things that came across as impressive, was simply because of all the special affects he used in his videos. Prince mainly used his body, just like other professional dancers. Did you see the video from 1983? The one that introduced a lot of songs that would be featured in 1984’s ‘ Purple Rain ‘ movie? Prince threw that legendary mini concert not only to promote his movie that was coming out, but also as a fundraiser for a Minneapolis dance company. Prince was just as much about dance, if not more so than mj. I love a lot of variety in my entertainment and that’s what Prince was all about. Not only for his audience sake, but also for his own. Prince’s ‘ Purple Rain ‘ tour was huge, but after months of doing the same thing, he couldn’t take it anymore and stopped the tour. His record label wanted to take it around the world, but he had already move on. Of course he wanted to make a good living, and a world tour brings in a bundle of money, but Prince’s creativity always came first. Also you’re so right about those ‘ Robotic Moves ‘. I could tell that mj’s dance moves influence a lot of younger entertainers, because they’re moves were just as robotic and unappealing to me. There’s no real flow to that type of dancing. In my opinion, he was better at dancing when he was a kid. Prince sacrificed so much for his art, and I truly appreciate that. If he hadn’t he might still be with us.🖤💃🏻💜🕺🏽🖤

[@Captain_Rhodes]

I agree prince was those things but MJ didnt realy master a kind of dance. He was original and memorable. His influences were quite strange as he brought in that fred astaire and charlie chaplin stuff and mixed it with james brown. I like them both but MJs moves are the ones that stick in my head

[@missmiko1]

@@Captain_Rhodes I understand. I've always preferred Gene Kelly to Fred Astaire which explains why I prefer Prince's dancing to MJ's.

[@reggaelove7223]

@@missmiko1 Excellent opinion and I'm with it 200%. Prince IS thee King!! He is so missed....

[@eph_loves_80s74]

@@missmiko1 Stupidity Prince is not a dancer all he could do is the splits and the jump. MJ was an innovator. He learned from others and took it to his own style and made it better. Prince all he did was copy James Brown. 99% of dancers worship MJ. Dancers don’t give a shit for Prince. I’m a dancer and let me say this Prince ain’t a dancer.

[@aseifa77]

This was a fitting and eloquent tribute to the great artist and dancer Prince. Thank you for a lovely video.

[@ricai132]

Now this is what I like to see! Estate if you're listening - Prince live in concert throughout the different facets (era's) of his career!💜

[@LG-kx8xl]

💋💜Prince was such a fantastic dancer. He was music. It resonated throughout his mind & body making it impossible for him & then all of us to keep still. He had really great legs too. To take a movie quote from Steven Tyler "look how they go all the way up & make an ass out of themselves"! He also had a sexy one of those & he could shake it like nobody's business. He made it possible to have the perfect soundtrack to our lives with music to dance to 4EVER!💜❤

[@BB-lx7wm]

You've said it all Ant, perfectly 👌🏾💜

[@paulyb-englishmaninhangzho3609]

Watching P dance makes my face hurt from grinning!

[@SherrieSherrieSherrie]

Very well done, Mr. Ants 💟 I’ve been as much a fan of Prince dancing as his music, mostly. Every time I come across a live performance of him jumping off something, I think now about what it cost him to give us that. When he certainly didn’t have to. The music alone would have been enough, in the end... that’s just what remained. 💜 As an aside, I think the injury/injuries he suffered and likely didn’t attend properly to was the most harm. There used to be a video on YT of his falls and slips, there were some. Those things cause more long term harm that simply over use. If you haven’t go watch “Willing and Able” he does a couple of iconic ‘60’s dances. I loved his early dances too, the freestyle stuff like from “Little Red Corvette” where he seems to have involuntary vibrations. He was definitely on his own wavelength ❣️

[@tomogutu]

His splits are insane

[@najinelson6742]

Prince what a great artist, teacher and idol. The dance steps of Morris Day and the Time and Jerome holding a mirror are legendary. Jimmy Jam said in an interview Prince taught the whole band how to move

Another excellent video Ant, thank U. Remember can remember the old VHS SOTT cover when the reviewer said claim Makes Michael Jackson look nailed to the floor..😀 Prince was an incredible dancer and so different from MJ....one of my friends said after seeing prince live the 1st time in 2007 with me at the opening night of 21nights, wow I never knew he was such an amazing dancer, I agreed but said you should’ve seen him dance back in the day and sent her away with ‘research’ 😂. So glad you mentioned his acts, brushing teeth, record on, excellent fun to watch. I think it was Lenny Henry who once said I think prince is the only man that can get a microphone stand pregnant 😉. Keep up the excellent work Ant 💜

So So true Mr Ants😄when Prince was dancing no one else noticed,well not to me anyways🙀😂Luv your video💜 Prince was incredible..Luv how he combined different dance styles, ballet, jazz dance, hip hop, modern, and show girl etc, it was a reflection of how he was so varied musically. He was even really good at body popping later years, he was still learning😄😄 His video for Thieves in the Temple was on a par with Michael Jackson..but for me Prince had the edge💜💜

[@bernios3446]

I came to respect Michael Jackson for his dancing and his perfect (!) stage shows later, but I always loved loved almost everything Prince did. He was courageous, dirtier, more authentic as an artist, was more prolific and his talent was much (!) more universal. Hard to believe what this man achieved as an instrumentalist, performer, composer, producer, song writer... Not sure if we will ever have one like him again!

[@christophermannmanno6318]

Prince studied ballet in high school at the Minnesota Dance Theater

[@JEvans-fz2qt]

Prince just like Michael Jackson loved James Brown. They both had James Brown moves....Prince took James's splits and microphone thang and Michael took James Brown's foot work (The Mashed Potatoes dance)......so when you talk about some of Prince's dance moves and stage presents....no doubt he took some of his moves from one of his favorite artist Mr. Dynamite...The Godfather of Soul really (The Godfather of Funk) James Brown. So please give Mr. Brown credit....he was the best dancer of them all!!!! Good God!!!

[@toddbennett7157]

J.B. certainly influenced others, but both his dancing and wardrobe were better than his "singing". 😄

Yeah Prince got James on the singing but I like James’s singing. James talk-sings.

The announcer just said that Michael Jackson was a greatest dancer that's ever lived or something like that I don't believe that I think Prince is a better dancer than Michael Jackson if they ever had a dance-off while they were both alive Prince would whoop his ass on the Dance Floor Michael Jackson do the moonwalk he could do 27000 spins and do the splits what pressure do everything Michael Jackson could do and then some James brown sugar on top of that Prince with badass not that Michael Jackson wasn't Michael Jackson was awesome but Prince was the s***

Ooh come on... maybe at the first years he might be underestimated as a guitar player but definitely not bye the musicians around him or got involved with him. And soon from the half eighties he was certainly more and more recognized as an amazing guitarist

[@laydown6]

Prince was trained in classical Ballet 😆you can see that

[@Moneytane1976]

I loved his dancing, the full splits is my favourite and his erotic strip tease dances and jumps. But as we know those movements did his hips in, years to come. Dancing was yet another talent he had, but to be honest I am more enamoured with his singing, playing and stage presence than just dancing. For pure dancing I have to mention you know who - come on - none could compare to the King of Pop, just watching his sequences makes me still go wow, with Prince its like "Yeah not bad", but Michael "Holy artichoke Batman".

[@MrAntsworldofPrince]

There is no doubt that MJ was probably the greatest dancer ever which I did Mention in the video 😉 as you mention its Prince’s overall stage presence that shines through be it dancing singing or playing the instruments 😊

@@Moneytane1976 my comment was not intended to start a MJ vs P Debate, simply an observation. There’s no denying Michael’s talent , but he became a parody of himself. It saddens me that all his music has been lost to generation with media boycotting the catalogue
