Dancing Thom Yorke praised by British Royal Ballet

by Anne T. Donahue

You’ve got every reason to be jealous of Thom Yorke‘s sweet, sweet moves now that Wayne McGregor, choreographer for the British Royal Ballet, has come forward praising the Radiohead frontman for his “incredible” dancing skills.

According to Music-News, after checking out “Lotus Flower” on YouTube, McGregor gushed that he thinks Yorke’s seemingly improvised routine looks “absolutely choreographed,” and that after looking at the comments, “it’s really interesting, the debate that it’s caused.”

The choreographer then went on to bring up the question regarding the video’s authenticity, claiming that regardless of whether the moves were improvised or the result of a Black Swan-esque regimen, “they’re all questions of authenticity we’re engaged in all the time.”

Said Yorke to himself: “It’s MY turn!”
