Spoilers ahead!
In the third film, following a business deal that goes astray, Magic Mike (played by Channing Tatum) has to take to the stage one last time. But before this happens, let’s look at some of the sauciest dance moves from the Magic Mike franchise that caught our eyes. Get ready to be mesmerised!
Pony dance, Magic Mike XXL (2015)
In this first Magic Mike sequel, Tatum goes from welding to dancing as he performs a strip routine to R&B singer Ginuwine's slow jam, 'Pony'. The sensual routine became so iconic that Tatum's then-wife Jenna Dewan went on to recreate it in an episode of Lip Sync Battle. The song also features in the first film.
In case you missed seeing Tatum in action (which we highly doubt), this is for you:
Rain dance, Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023)
Magic Mike and professional ballet dancer Kylie Shea perform a complex and steamy number as rain falls from the ceiling, soaking the pair. As stated by Alison Faulk, who helped create the dances alongside choreographer Luke Broadlick, Tatum is the GOAT in dancing.
Lap dance, Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023)
Again in Magic Mike's Last Dance, Mike takes things to a whole new dimension when he gives Maxandra (Salma Hayek), a wealthy near-divorcee, a lap dance with moves that are sensual, intimate, and alluring.
Magic Mike is undeniably a man who knows how to put on a show.
