It's a work of art. The microphone does the splits with him. It's so perfectly executed, it looks like the footage goes in reverse.

Yep thats an amazing piece of P-Danceart

.

But i'm also impressed with this slidingsplit all over the stage

But really that whole microphone thing he did in the 80s, where he tipped it out, then tapped it back in w/ his foot, and twirled it around his leg, etc.

Can't stop watching...

I wince just looking at this! AND in high heels to boot (no pun intended).

But also with the one leg guitar playing

Faster than a cat jumpslits

His poledancingskills

His Inthafacecameraslidings

His Pianosplitjumps

His spinszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

And let's not forget The famous Oak Tree...

His finest ultimate seductionmoves

And no one can compete with this badass pimpwalk!

Can I go on....

Undeniably slick, but not the type of moves you’d attempt in a club after a few drinks. The “Wooden Leg” on the other hand…

Uh, that's the wooden leg. Jerome mocked the Oak Tree in this vid, then they chopped that tree down. And did the wooden leg.

Yaassss. Undeniably my new favorite thread.

That neck snap is on point. It almost looks painful.

great clip. I don't care what anyone says, the Game Boyz era was Prince at his peak as a showman and dancer.

Dang, I was going to suggest it was at the MTV Music Video Awards, when he was laying down, came up into a split, rose and slung the yellow cloud around to the front, leaped off the riser, and nailed the opening riff to "Gett Off".

But THIS is just flat-out awesome! Thank you for posting it!

The tree may be chopped down but the wood's still there. Especially the 3rd leg.

I so wish I could have afforded the car to go see him do these dance moves back in the day...

Thank you. This type of visual is so helpful to many of us here on the org!

Prince literally gave his whole body to us...

Agreed, lrn36. The showmanship is incredible.

Yes, in terms of choreography, physical fitness and timing, that’s probably true. One thing that I liked about the young Prince over other dancers of the time though (you know who I mean), is that he had a looser, funkier style, closer to James Brown. I liked the fact that he wasn’t afraid to inject humour into his routines and act the fool (as Miles said, Prince = James Brown + Jimi Hendrix + Charlie Chaplin).

I like the freaky "Hot Thing" set from the SOTT movie.
