10 Actors That Are Incredibly Good Dancers

You’ve seen them act, charm, and steal the spotlight — but have you ever noticed how cool their dance moves really are? In this video, we’re counting down the actors whose surprising rhythm, charisma, and on-screen movement turned simple scenes into unforgettable moments.

We begin with Christopher Walken, whose smooth, gravity-defying routine in Fatboy Slim’s Weapon of Choice stunned a new generation of fans, before revisiting his electrifying nightclub dance in Pennies from Heaven. Val Kilmer follows with his breakout performance in Top Secret!, where he sang and danced his way into Hollywood with pure Elvis-style swagger.

Few moments in film history are as iconic as Tom Cruise’s sock-sliding dance in Risky Business, set to Bob Seger’s Old Time Rock and Roll — a scene largely improvised and instantly immortalized. Years later, Cruise surprised audiences again with his outrageous end-credits dance as Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder.

Daniel Radcliffe earns his spot thanks to his Broadway-level footwork in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and his unexpected dance moments in Miracle Workers. Rising star Nicholas Galitzine impresses with fiery chemistry in High Strung and polished stage choreography in The Idea of You, where he transformed into pop-star frontman Hayes with the fictional band August Moon.

At number five, Kevin Bacon’s performance in Footloose remains one of the most iconic dance roles in movie history. Mads Mikkelsen follows with his cathartic, emotionally charged finale in Another Round, drawing on his real-life background as a trained dancer and gymnast.

Sam Rockwell brings his signature groove to films like Charlie’s Angels and Iron Man 2, where his slick villainous moves became scene-stealing highlights fans now expect. At number two, John Travolta’s dance legacy spans generations — from Saturday Night Fever and Grease to Staying Alive, and his unforgettable twist contest with Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction.

Taking the top spot is Patrick Swayze, whose performance in Dirty Dancing wasn’t just iconic — it was personal. Trained from childhood by his mother Patsy Swayze, his dancing reflected a lifetime of dedication, discipline, and passion. Though gone, his legacy as one of cinema’s greatest dancer-actors lives on.

As a special bonus, we spotlight Austin Butler, whose transformation into Elvis Presley in Elvis stunned audiences worldwide.

Whether meticulously rehearsed or completely spontaneous, these performances prove one thing: these actors don’t just perform — they move with heart, confidence, and unforgettable style.
