Sometimes the melody of a song inspires us to move in the most unconventional of ways. That’s exactly how creative dancer Patrizio Ratto felt when he heard a fun little tune on the piano recently.
The melody appeared to send electrical shockwaves rippling through his body.
His whole dance to the simple piano song was caught on camera and something you definitely need to check out. It’s pretty crazy to watch.
The song begins with just a few basic notes, and instantly, Patrizio’s body is compelled into movement.
His right arm shoots up into the air and starts to twist and turn in all sorts of unorthodox positions.
“Let the music take control!” the video is titled.
Soon, his other arm gets involved too. It shoots up in the air as well in a jerky movement that is somewhat robotic in nature. The expression on Patrizio’s face appears shocked about what is happening to him.
Then, the music really gets going and that’s when the real chaos ensues.
His body goes wild and it’s both hilarious and mesmerizing to watch. Patrizio is such a talented dancer.
The piano tune itself sounds like some sort of symphony written by Beethoven, although it is unclear as to what the actual name of the track is. It is an incredibly familiar melody nonetheless.
Another interesting part of the performance is that the person playing the piano is never really acknowledged. The pianist remains just out of sight of the camera and all we can see are the player’s hands fast at work.
However, at the end of the video, a big surprise is revealed.
The pianist decides to show himself, and much to everyone’s amazement, it is none other than Patrizio!
In some sort of cool video editing trick, he made himself both the piano player and the dancer in the performance.
First, Patrizio the dancer bows to the camera, and then Patrizio the piano player jumps into the shot and gives a big smile and flashes the peace sign at us.
We had to do a double take when we saw it. The first thought that popped into our mind was that maybe Patrizio has a twin, but the video description states otherwise.
“Patrizio Ratto playing with the music (playing piano and dancing),” the video description reads.
It is a pretty neat twist in what is already a very unique performance.
The commenters on Facebook were noticeably impressed too.
“OMG awesome talent!” one user wrote.
It also turns out that, yes, Patrizio did, in fact, appear on America’s Got Talent recently as well.
On the show, the Italian man did a similar style of performance that also completely shocked people. Just like his Facebook video, Patrizio’s America’s Got Talent act was one part piano, one part dance, and another part utter insanity.
No one could believe what was happening, and if one thing is for sure, it’s that this won’t be the last we see of Patrizio Ratto. This is one man who definitely has a long career ahead of him as an entertainer. We look forward to seeing more of Patrizio’s crazy antics as time goes on.
