Washington Post Dancer Blake McGrath missed his flight after creating an airport dance. It sparked a TikTok trend. Blake McGrath has danced all over: in his living room, on the lawn, in local grocery stores, on concert stages, on television sets, in the movies. And, perhaps most visibly of late, at the airport.
A professional dancer for decades, McGrath felt inspired when he got to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport last year for a work trip. He remembered a friend’s dance at an airport years earlier, so he decided to try his own, set to a clip from a “really dramatic song”: Celine Dion’s “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now.” His assistant filmed it for social media. The 20-second video went viral, with millions of views.
