The Wizard of Oz is one of the most iconic films of all time. From the ruby slippers to the Emerald City and everyone they meet along the way, the songs and choreography are timeless. The Walden Grove High School dance team from Sahuarita Arizona reimagined the tale with a hip hop twist. Check out their epic performance below.
According to an article on ABC News:
The dance team’s head coach, Kristi Lopez, specifically chose songs to match the characters’ personalities. The Scarecrow dances to “Insane in the Membrane” by Cypress Hill. Katy Perry’s “Roar” accompanies the Cowardly Lion’s routine. The Wicked Witch of the West performs to Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood,” and when the entire cast walks down the yellow brick road, they’re strolling to rapper Unk’s “Walk it Out.”
“I am so proud of them,” Lopez, 31, told ABC News of her dance team. “I think the most amazing thing, what I’m most proud of, is that I am the only dance source in our little community. There is no other dance program in the school district. These kids have only ever danced a year or two or three. They work so hard. These are not professionals, that’s just a testament to how hard they work every day.”
