Footloose Dance-Off! | The Umbrella Academy | Netflix 

ive replayed “protecting our honor, bro” probably a dozen times now because of the enunciation and face he makes at the end

I think it's also that this is all what Diego wanted to happen that really makes it.

I feel like Diego saying "Oh shit we are really good at this!" Is because he probably does the footlose dance to relieve stress so he is both happy & surprised that the Umbrella Academy can all dance well with each other. Sadly it was just a hallucination.

I dunno...5 leaning into the single leg triple jump with the typical scowl is pretty great

Klaus and Ben’s jam gotta be up there

I've been a fan of Robert Sheehan ever since I saw him on the show "Misfits". His casting as Klaus was a great move.

The exact same opinion here as yours. Klaus is the most innocent character in this group. Silly and quirky.

GET EM' LUTHER!

1000% Agreeeddd.... and actually i started to like vanya/victor... every character get better in every season... cant wait to see more

It’s funny that I as a 39 year old man that has never been drunk or even drank alcohol nor done any drug that’s a controlled substance due to seeing my older siblings battle addiction absolutely love Klaus and is my favorite.

this

Same

Headcanon accepted! 😍 Klaus would LOVE to know that and would PLEAD with Diego to do the dance with him. 😍

Everything about Diego is adorable.

He probably got from his mom

He was the best dancer in season 1 albeit his moves were out of date

Ikr

SAME

Totally caught of guard lol

Haha me too

I thought Marcus had some type of rhythm power (via telepathy and/or telekinesis) that allowed him to manipulate those around him, possibly more stronger the more people there were that also made him (and those he so chooses) stronger the longer the hold.

Thought the same

I thought the Sparrows weren't fighters but dancers in this universe haha that this is how they fight. Fay is my favourite, I love her fashion and her power.

@@disneyqueen6319 what if they just dance with the criminals until they have a breakdown and give up themselves

@@chirit0z yesss I would have loved that and it makes sense in the Umbrella Academy universe.

You know weird thing that just came to my mind, didn't they also start metaphorically all dancing in the first season after the funeral? Kinda a cool callback

@@artistaro5335 i forgot about that, i think you're right, huh

He saw the potential for 6 new siblings. And wanted that family.

Also he knows all the moves he has to to have this hallucination

Can we just point out that the lady saw five kissing a bit there Delores.. does that mean that Diego was dancing while they were all just stood there and they accepted it 😭

Just like "dance-off bro" - Peter Quill

“Oh shit we’re really good at this!” 🤣🤣🤣

While watching this scene I actually turned to my gf and said "aww I fucking love this show" 🤣🤣

I can’t get over the fact that five is 58 years old and dancing to the song

@@gianagarcia148 he killed it too🤣

Right? I had absolutely no problem nor did I require any suspension of disbelief that this is how they would have resolved a conflict amongst themselves. To be honest, I was kind of disappointed that it wasn't!

SAMEE

OMG.... So that was what is was! Loved it.

Lord

Bro for real. I 100% thought this was actually happening

Well, they basically stole that angle from the original dance sequence from the “Footloose” movie. 😂

@@shannonhughes203 Oh I see! Well then, credit to the movie and a great homage to the original scene!

​@Shannon Hughes I was just about to comment this. I'm like "I know this from somewhere!" xxx

REAL

Same though so perfect

"Oh sh*t! We're really good at this!"

Real dance off but no organised choreography whatsoever. Just a complete shit show.

And a dance with mom!

Considering how much he breaks it down in the first dance of the first episode of S1, i don't doubt he secretly likes dancing

I think they need to somehow resolve the apocalypse via dance battle sometime

I've watched this scene three times now and just now caught this. It is hilarious and just shows how many takes they did on this one scene alone. At 0:00 Klaus has his jacket and hat on. At 1:52 one of the Sparrows is wearing Klaus's hat. At 1:56 Klaus throws his hat in the air. At 2:00 Klaus is back to wearing his hat. And at multiple cuts within the scene Klaus is wearing his jacket and then not wearing his jacket. In the last dance off portion of the dance, they take shots out of sequence. Cast have switched positions in the ring and Klaus is again with and then without the jacket.

My first thought was Marcus had some kind of dancing related power since another guy with super strength is kind of lame when there's only 60 some of them in the world (or 16 in this universe?). My second thought was oh, my God, they're really just doing a dance off. Okay, I buy Luther going along with it, but when did everyone have a choreography meeting about this? Also, if I laugh any harder, I'm going to give myself an aneuryism.

@@jenniferhanses7064 i think you've already caught yourself an aneurysm.

How about Luther this season? He is doubly... TEN times more better and way more interesting this season. 😇

@@LetThatStuffGo he really had his own romantic comedy arc love that for him

It’s why him and Sparrow Ben bumped heads so hard. Lol

It wasn't even a particularly relevant detail to the rest of the season that her venom causes hallucinations, which leads me to believe they just wanted a Footloose dance battle and wrote Jayme to have that power so they could do it.

The art and music production on this show is 90% of the reason that intro song too amazing

@@spookymanlistens I mean… all the better tho. Footloose Dance Battle is an automatic plus.

@@spookymanlistens i totally agree. They definitely worked backwards on this one.

We need to appreciate that they must have put a LOT of work into that scene! So yes, they picked great, hard-working actors.

The pure joy in his expression to the look of legitimate distraught that he didn't actually get to have a cool family dance battle

You could see tears forming in his disappointment LOL - poor Diego!!

Snap Back to Reality!

"Why would you give me this hope only to tear it away"

@@cinm4517 poor buddy lol

Well it was fun seeing him on the road trip it was so sweet

... there was a lot of sceptic hesitation at first! :))))

@@marycrawley3828 I think it was just a wave of confusion.

💀💀💀

Let's not even get started on Allison here. Seeing her dancing around with her siblings and being genuinely happy is like therapy. Edit: I said this before that episode where she rumoured Luther. Ew.

True, it's time to let our siblings be happy for once, especially since they've been through so much trauma already.

I didn’t like this scene when I first watched it but know with context I love it

@@dont.say.alec. right, first time watching it yes, second time no. She deserves nothing🥱 after she sa’d Luther, she can rot, ew.

@@dont.say.alec. exactly. Allison just looks like she’s having the time of her life and I feel awful because of everything she’d gone through and goes through this season

No comments?

When I was a little girl, I would insist on dancing to this song every Sunday and kick my church shoes off at the wall…and then get in trouble for that. Lol

Agreed, I honestly think just the act of five dancing makes this even better.

The season 1 dance felt pure adlibbed. Season 3 is well choreographed and many of the actors appear to be fulling enjoying themselves. I can only imagine how awkward it was to learn this over zoom during the lockdown. But man, it just doesn't seem like The Umbrella Academy without one dance scene every season.

@@superdave8248 in season 1 they were just told to dance like no one's in the room

Totally fit for Luther as well ;)

Honestly the only one different I think would be 5, and even thats a stretch. Theyre all so ridiculous which is why I love them lol

Klaus looked like he was having an absolute blast the whole time.

1:27 cracked me up

For being only 18, that kid is going places. What a phenomenal actor.

What happened to the guy at the end? Was he imagining the whole thing? Did he realize that the dancing thing wasn't working? I haven't this show.

@@cashewnuttel9054 one of the girls from the sparrows’ power is to make people hallucinate, so the scene was actually all just in Diego’s mind.

@@joethehatter her power is also related to what the people's fears and dreams are. So for Diego this means all he wants deep inside is for the families to get along and be happy together

@@cashewnuttel9054 One of the members of the sparrow academy's powers is to make people hallucinate their dreams & fears. In this case Diego wants both parties to be happy & get along with each other which is why everyone in the Umbrella academy has some nice & happy expressions on their faces, it may also be how he views each of the members on the Umbrella Academy. Since Luthor talked in a himbo voice when Diego asked what are they doing so he may see him as the big dumb brute of the team & like the commenter said even in this goofy scene Five is still looking serious so Diego may still view him as the same hard ass.

Klaus reminds me so much of American Dad's Roger. No surprise that they even have the same voice in german voiceovers.

Damn no comments lol?

@@bobbyfischer9927 well now you’re the first lol

@@yorak13 I guess so hahah. 285 likes without a comment is nuts

Yes exactly just like season 2 calling five sick son of a bitch where the hell have you been

that says a lot about third season...

Diego is J D from Scrubs.

That's the final scene of the show. Dance off to save the world

@@Vicky-uv8ri underrated reply

@@Vicky-uv8ri I think he's a combination of JD and Janitor!

Oh no, ive been laughing and wheezing so hard at all the comments about this being Diego's deepest desire and this comment just phrased it in a way that hit home. Oh noooo 😭🤣 now im crying and laughing

If only this could have been the worst thing that happened in season 3 😭

I really love how Sparrow Ben and Klaus got to have a sweet moment, makes me miss their old interactions.

Omg yes 😆

I miss the old Ben, but him and Klaus were always meant to be close

Funny thing is Christopher is actually able to be a Disco Ball

It’s pretty awesome

🤣💀This is why I love Diego.

Yeah when it happened i was like WTF there is no way but then i was like aww i wish this was real cause i knew it wasn't real 😂😂😂

Same! I thought I was tripping 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@nurseaylla Lol they were tripping

I feel like they forgot and lost what made the first dance sequence...special?

This season was the best I JUST LOVE IT TO FUNNY TOO.

OR MAYBE THEY ARE PAID???!!!!!

@@kurtisdeakin That's their bonus.

@@kurtisdeakin if u watch behind the scenes videos they all really enjoy each other

You should give it a go. There is another dance scene in season 1 ep 1 thats pretty good too. The show is amazing w/ alot of heart.

@@homelander3950 it also seems we get the benefit of all the actors being truly comfortable with their roles now. They feel so much more genuine then they already were before.

@@homelander3950 it also seems we get the benefit of all the actors being truly comfortable with their roles now. They feel so much more genuine then they already were before.

Yet .he REALLY EMPATHIZES THE BRO PART…and it is perfect because he normally wouldn’t say that ..so you KNOW that it is DIEGO’s HALLUCINATION and LUTHER IS TALKING THE WAY DIEGO WOULD. SUCH A INCREDIBLY CREATIVE SHOW! The music is always catchy and the stories always keep you interested and you can totally forget about the outside world or your problems as this show is so completely unpredictable, and engrossing! SO FAR the DANCING SCENES IN EACH SEASON ARE STELLAR..YOU DONT think they can top it..BUT THEY SURE DO! Can’t wait for Next SEASON.!

yeah, I just love the moment when five claps. I can't stop rewatching😅

Aidan studies the comics and source material and goes METHOD with Five who has the DNA of hundreds of serial killers in his DNA strands. Brilliant actor and he nails this character.

​@@user-vs5pb1fy4r I'm right there with you

"i spend FORTY-FIVE YEARS trying to stop the APOCALYPSE and i will NOT be beaten by a SIMPLE DANCE BATTLE" is something that i can see five saying, and oh god this would make a glorious scene.

@@user-vs5pb1fy4r timestamp

Favorite line of all 3 seasons

“Get him Luther” “oh shit we’re really good at this” are also close contenders and all are in the same scene 😂

Idk man, “Get em Luther!” Had me laughing too.

What season

The fact that is what you most desire makes it 1000x better

Kinda shows that deep down, he's a huge softie and actually likes nonviolent ways of solving things (and footloose apparently)

@@alfredohumberto2222 was that ever stayed in the series? I don't recall.

To me, ig the reason why he had a hallucination of everyone dancing is because he is probably the only one in the family who can actually dance XD

@@charliegraham2789 i think it's just assumed considering five's hallucination is reuniting with delores

At this point he isn't thinking about the briefcase (they haven't realised yet what's going on). Putting aside that it was only hallucination, I think that five fully commited to kick sparrow's butts in every challenge it would take.

@@UndeadChris you do realize it was only Diego who was hallucinating, right?

@@seeyouinhell8961 You realize, that I have written: "Putting aside that it was only hallucination", right?

@@seeyouinhell8961 you do realize he literally said that

He didn’t actually dance

for real it's hilarious

same

He’s JUST now realizing he’s a good dancer at that point? What about the first episode?

I know it’s so good

@@loganpasion276 Well, being good dancing by one's self is different than dancing as part of a group.

True

Fax

Is your pic Lily Collins?

Damn you! You beat me to it.

I love that we’ve all just come to accept and appreciate that fact.

The expression of a man who has had _multiple_ dance battles.

It's also implies that his deepest wish is to have a big silly dance party where all his siblings are completely on the same wave length

Five dances like a grandpa and I appreciate that acting from aiden

i didn’t question this scene until i realized five was taking it seriously and i was like “oops gotta be a hallucination then”

5 dancing is hilarious because of the personality of his character in the show

“Oh shit! We’re really good!”🤣🤣🤣

And as we see Five hunging and kissing the air, people act out their fantasy... so Diego danced all by himself while the others were just standing there or fighting, (the show, shows him in the same spot from the beginning so i think diego controled himself while hallucinating... but still fun to think about)

​@@femke6313 I imagine he was tapping his foot along to the song subconsciously ☠️

His knees!!! LOL

FR 1:10 is really addicting idk why 😭 i loved the way he danced though

@@Ticamo77 his knees are like a separate entity lmao

@@fullmovies9024 the 8th sibling

@@sanrio144 It's cuz of the sound of the little baby clap he does.👶👏

I would love for the cast to do an interview and be asked how long it took them to get the dance scene down. From what I understand they had to work on this over Zoom due to the quarantine. Can you imagine how difficult that was? You have no way to coordinate the rhythm since nobody is in the room with you. If your timing is a second or so off, it isn't obvious over Zoom.

@@superdave8248 They did do an interview discussing this scene

@@onlinefool9931 where I can find it.

@saiminjust search TUA reacts to footloose scene

I really did think this was real

“ protecting our honour bro

Klaus is literally down for anything. Throw ANY kind of challenge at him, no matter how bizzare, he'd be up to it. Nd I lovve him for that

Personally it threw me back to the pilot episode when Diego and Luther were about to fight, and if I remember correctly I think that Klaus tells Luther the exact same thing 🤔

omg i thought i was the only one- i was just down for dance battle season

Yeah, even if this shit wasn’t a hallucination it would fit 100% into this clusterfuck of a show!😅🤣

Same🤣

Same. I have to say I was quite disappointed...

I thought to myself: "Did they really mess the timeline that bad?" then I just said ok and was expecting a dance-off season, but I was pretty disappointed when the scene ended

@@MuffinSandwich 🤣

And the get em luther!

I noticed how he said it and now realize it was a hallucination from the beginning

A hahaha

He said “bro”, not “bruh”.

i love klauss smmm

He’s my absolute favorite.

He’s Luther’s biggest hype man I swear

Protecting our honor bro

What are you doing?

Yeah. Luther was on point. Too bad Diego didn’t know that Luther’s response to Marcus’s challenge should have been “Bring it!”...instead of…“Agreed”.

“Protecting our honor bro”

shut up lawl

EXACTLY luther proved his the number one!!

@@BananaLettuce 🤣🤣🤣

Actually, Reggie made them take dance lessons. At least that was said by Diego when he danced with Lila in the Mexican Embassy on season 2. For that reason, I also thought the dance battle was real.

"Yeah, Marcus can make people who watch him follow the choreography. Top 10 anime superpowers. I have no further questions."

Omg same

Agreed, even Sparrow Ben can't resist himself!

ikr xD

That face tho🤣 Ben was literally enjoying the moment

Even Alphonso is as well though!

I really think they all had fun doing this 😂

Tbh i only stuck around for 5 and to watch this scene, very underwhelming

Mu thoughts exactly 💯 He is fantastic and is very realistic as a 58 year old man ❣️❣️❣️ he will go far🙆‍♀️

Its easy to be a grown up playing a kid but a kid playing a grown up is hard as shit. Thankfully his face expressions & the writing make it actually believable that he is a old man in a kids body because if the show only kept telling us he was older without showing it than it wouldn't have worked as well.

I would go as far as he really carried the series. Hope he has a good agent and is getting paid. He earned it.

Bro his character is the only reason I got hooked to this show . Phenomenal actor plus I love the characters powers

I thought it was N#1's power since He was the first to start dancing

@@gustavopereira4924 mind control via flash mob would be such a good power

@@gustavopereira4924 SAME!!!... I thought tht was his power and he was doing that as a mode of distraction!!!

You got it in one

You can tell all the actors enjoyed the hell out of this. Some of them likely went into this dance kicking and screaming, but when it all came together it was perfect symmetry.

Thinking the same thing !!!❤🥹

also when Luther dances with Sloane it foreshadows that their characters get close during the season

i feel so sad for klaus like he just wants to hug ben but got punched instead

i know me too hahah

I am Klaus

me too huauhauhauhahahahhaha

That's how I cottoned onto it being a hallucination, Luther would never say bro 😆

@@himwiththehair8118 That & how Five joined the dance battle with the team without hesitating or just loudly questioning why they aren't just beating each other up.

GET EM LUTHER!!

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT I THOUGHT THE VENOM THING WAS JUST A SHITTY THING SHE DID TO BE GROSS BUT NO. BUT NO.

That would be the “blackest” superpower I would have ever heard of 😂 😂

That would’ve been one of the best super powers

i would love to have that power

I was with you till the second one. I figured the alternative was it was possibly an hallucination.

The whole show is incredibly well cast, but Robert Sheehan as Klaus is just pure perfect casting.

Bloody hell, calm down lol

You know, there are times when mere words can not explain things that we see or hear, for that matter, but this time says, keep your cock holster shut and only speak when spoken to.

I'm sorry but the 'I'm protecting our honour bro' wins it for me

it’s “get’em Luther!” small yet big difference

Especially Number Five who immediately started dancing when hes probably the first one to question them and flip out if ever this was real lmao

He doesn't want to fight, he just wants to dance to Kenny Loggins 😭

Exactly

DUDE SAMEEEE

i was literally so confused on why five immediately started dancing-

I love how the reaction is "oh, weird, Five didn't dance", like nevermind everyone else did it, it's weird because Five's doing it... Which you're totally right, btw.

@@sleepybasilAt first- Five finally decided to show some hidden talents 🧑‍🦯 After realising it - Damn that was hallucination 💔

Even when he's sober lol that's just Klaus's personality

Idk I think Luther would too

Klaus and Luther first, then Viktor (or Vanya during this) and Allison next, Then Diego, and eventually Five.

spoiler the question is then why is Diego the one having this dream

Yes

At the end of the day Deigo just wants too dance.

lol i know it's the best part.

It's my go to line now when I do something that it turns out great

Same!! It’s what makes me come back and watch this again 😂

Yes same
