Harry became a superstar for his singing talent, but is he actually a good dancer?
While dancing is subjective, most people agree that Harry Styles can dance relatively well. He can be seen dancing on stage in every performance.
Harry is no expert dancer, but he proves that he can let loose and express himself with his dance moves. He does not take dancing too seriously and likes to have fun moving around on stage or in a crowd.
Harry Frequently Shows Off His Moves
Harry Styles’ fans know that the superstar can dance. Numerous videos show the singer shimmying or strutting around on stage along to his songs.
However, Harry does not attempt many advanced moves on stage. Without doing anything too elaborate, he shows his energy through moving and jumping around.
Harry’s on-stage dancing is certainly in a rock style with bold movements rather than the smooth flow of hip-hop. Seventeen Magazine reported that his stepping to the beat resembled a “little jig.”
Harry also likes to just have fun with his dancing. In 2020, fans caught him on video getting down and enjoying himself in a nightclub.
Harry is No Stranger to Choreography
As a professional singer, Harry has plenty of experience performing pre-choreographed moves. With his band One Direction on The X Factor, Harry had to learn a dance and perform it successfully to advance to the next round.
One Direction did not include choreography in their usual performances, but the boys broke this rule to accept a fan challenge and dance the Macarena.
Harry also picked up a bit of choreography to join Lizzo on stage in 2020. The two singers danced in sync, stepping side to side and waving their arms around through a lively performance.
Harry Gives Serious Dance Styles a Comedic Twist
Harry Styles can be seen dancing in pseudo-proper styles as well, but he usually laughs his way through them. In 2012 he accepted a fan’s dare to ballet dance. He delicately twirled and leaped around the stage to pretty piano music.
Harry also tried to do a serious dance when he started ballroom dancing with Niall on stage in 2013. Their form was commendable for a minute, but everything went awry when Harry tried to lean in for a dip. Niall dropped him and the boys tumbled to the ground, eliciting roaring laughter and cheers from the audience.
Harry received some useful dance lessons in 2014 while in Argentina. Members of the Rojo Tango show gave One Direction a Tango lesson after the show, but photos demonstrate that Harry couldn’t keep a straight face and goofed off during the lesson.
Harry attempted to learn to partner dance again in 2020, this time with James Corden’s parents giving him a salsa lesson. He linked up with Mr. Corden for a little bit of salsa dancing, shaking his hips with every step.
Harry Isn’t Afraid to Get Steamy
Fans go berserk over even the briefest clips of Harry doing a sensual dance. At the 2013 Teen Choice Awards he accepted a dare to twerk, giving a few booty pops before sitting back down. The audience cheered and the video of his twerking garnered over one million views.
Fans also caught Harry grinding on a friend at an Ariana Grande concert in 2019. Videos of his sensual dance moves quickly went viral on Twitter.
Sometimes, Harry Lets Others do the Dancing
Harry was delighted to see fans’ parents dancing to his music. The superstar liked many of the videos on Twitter, showing his fans that he notices their Tweets and enjoys seeing their parents groove.
Harry brought two lucky fans on stage to dance with him. The fans held a sign that said “let us dance with you,” and Harry obliged by inviting them up for a song.
Although Harry is not known for his moves, he has shown that he knows to dance. Without doing anything too complicated he can express himself to music and have a little fun, too.
