“Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can!” Like dancing! Wait, what? Apparently, Spider-Man star Tom Holland can dance! Last year, Tom broke the internet after he posted clips of himself dancing.

Yes, even stars have hidden tricks up their sleeves, or rather, developed talents and pᴀssions that go unnoticed because of what is currently bringing them fame.

Back in the days of Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth, being a triple threat — singer, dancer, and actor — was a goal and a source of great envy for actors and audience members alike.

Those practices were, and still are, preserved in classrooms and theatrical stages everywhere, still well-known culturally and sought after skills by many.

But, unless you’ve seen a screen actor sing and dance, chances are you don’t know they can until you see it — or in Tom Holland’s case, post it on social media!
Tom Holland has a legit dance background

Tom might be best known for his role as Spider-Man in the Marvel Superhero films, but his first big role as an actor was not on the big screen — it was on stage!

And this is thanks to his roots as a dancer.They spotted Tom at the Richmond Dance Festival performing with his dance class when he was just 10 years old.

When he first auditioned for the role, Tom was also accomplished in acrobatics and street dance. However, he was advised to take ballet lessons before he could perform the role of Billy in the musical.
Tom went viral with his dance to Drake’s “Controlla” in 2019.
If you don’t believe the words on the page, there’s plenty of video evidence that proves Tom’s trained background in dance.

In 2016, a video surfaced of Tom Holland dancing to a remix of Drake’s “Controlla”. It did not receive the initial attention it deserved. It wasn’t until 2019 when a since-deleted tweet from @PopCraveNet brought it back to the forefront of social media: “A 2016 video of Tom Holland dancing to a remix of @Drake’s “Controlla” has gone viral and it’s absolutely everything.”

If you are a Spider-Man fan on Twitter then you must have caught a glimpse of Tom working those hips. Soon after, Twitter saw an influx of other videos of Tom dancing, and fans had quite the field day. “Those hips don’t lie” seemed to be the quote of the day.
