Usually you hear covers of “Cups (When I’m Gone),” where people sing, clap and bang cups, like Anna Kendrick does in the movie, PITCH PERFECT. But a new video that has taken a different approach has surfaced and it’s blowing everyone away! A group of incredibly talented tap dancers dance along to this viral song in a light and fun way.
The routine was choreographed by Christopher Rice, who’s a swing in the hit Broadway show, THE BOOK OF MORMON. A lot of other Broadway performers are in this video, too.
Although tap dancing is normally thought to be an old-fashioned dance style that isn’t popular anymore, these dancers prove otherwise. The dancers all tap along to Kendrick’s song with perfectly-synced footwork and contagious enthusiasm.
Uploaded onto YouTube on Oct. 14, the video has already gained over a million views! It’s so popular that it’s even been featured on The Huffington Post, Mashableand msnNOW!
PITCH PERFECT 2 is due in theatres in 2015. In the meantime, keep your eyes out for incredible “Cups” covers like these!
