Watch Tiler Peck Recreate the Finale of Center Stage

With the shutdown of Broadway and all theatres, including where New York City Ballet performs at Lincoln Center, dancers have taken to social media to reach fans and continue to create. New York City Ballet's Tiler Peck created #MondayMovieMoves, a series of videos recreating some of the most cherished dance moments in film including Dirty Dancing, Pulp Fiction, Grease and Donny Darko. The latest inspiration in the series comes from the cult classic, Center Stage where she channels fictional ballerina, Jody Sawyer. Watch the latest installment of #MondayMovieMoves above.

"Social media has helped me feel connected with people, audiences, fellow artists and friends during this difficult time. We have all missed that human connection, and I have loved letting people in on what my life looks like day to day and the things that interest me most." shares Peck. She adds, "#MondayMovieMoves came about because I have been a lifelong fan of dance movies. These great classics always inspired me to dance, so I wanted to pay tribute to them and also keep them alive and moving forward today! Not to mention, who doesn’t want to reenact Center Stage of Dirty Dancing !? I hope that for a brief moment people are able to watch something that transports them to another time and place and makes them feel good and smile. I have always thought that dance is this universal language that has the power to move people and heal, and if I can play a small role in that, I have accomplished my purpose. "

Susan Stroman who originally choreographed the film, taught Peck the number. Featured in the video are also New York City Ballet's Roman Mejia and Christopher Grant with direction of photography by Roberto Araujo. Tiler continues to teach via Instagram and has featured celebrity guests like Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Garner, Kelly Ripa, Leslie Odom Jr., and the Rockettes.

Loved Tiler Peck's version, and 20 years later, still love watching CENTER STAGE regularly

[daniellesorensen]

I think Amanda and Ethan and Sascha would be proud. You danced that really well

[Misssuzannesasser]

Center Stage is my all time favorite movie! I’ve been a dancer and ballerina for 30 years. Sheesh Tiler’s fouettés are impeccable! 🩰

[arwenevenstar]

The amplitude and extension of the shorter male dancer is off the charts!

[technicolordreamer]

This is one of my favorite dance scenes ever! I always thought it would be so cool to dance these moves. Susan Stroman's choreography is always amazing!! I remember watching this scene on repeat as a kid. Still one of the best dance movies ever! I also loved the dance scene right before this with the song "If I Was the One." I wonder if they would recreate that as well?

Y’all can come for me!!! Do not care!!!

Love her.

[DelusionalUnicorn]

[bembolbug]

My single most absolute favorite dance number in any music related movie

[JenGelber]

The dance is amazing, so much fun. Love this scene from the movie. I’m just so mad at the stationary spotlight. At least have someone follow her with the spotlight so they’re not in the dark. (I know, random)

[TheAppolonia]

This is by far my favorite movie! Well done Tiler! This performance was AMAZING! ♥

[TalentedSGSSuzyQ]

I 💖 Tiler Peck not for just her incredible dance style, technical attack on every role that's performed ...she real not superficial, there are so many dancers in her generation whom has reached this status of dance and would strink into the floor if you would ever mention ""dance competitions""..(😏, 😂)....✨👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💖👌🏽...she owns

[cometasporelcielo]

wow! the movie was great and I loved the actress but this woman's moves are just so much more crisp and precise.

[LaurenLover]

What a great recreation, lovely execution. And it’ll definitely remind you it’s so 2000 given the song, where Centerstage sits.

[donatord]

That was exceptional and so fun. Truly a great job!

[katieowen]
