Professional dancer Oti Mabuse explores the extraordinary people who have changed the course of dance. Matthew Morrison talks to Oti about his dancing legend, Gene Kelly.

Actor and dancer Matthew Morrison joins Oti Mabuse to talk about his dancing inspiration. 

Matthew starred in the Broadway production of Hairspray but he is best known for his role in the global hit TV show Glee.  Matthew sang and danced in a variety of songs on the screen, just like his dancing inspiration who also sang, danced and acted on screen years before him – Gene Kelly. 

Gene Kelly has been championed as an innovator and he starred in some the biggest Hollywood movies of the 1940s and 1950s. With archive clips and the help of film historian John Kenrick, we delve into the illustrious career of this iconic performer. 

Oti goes into the dance studio to encapsulate the dancing style of Gene Kelly and dance teacher Claire Miller puts her through her paces.
