Charity and Landon Anderson come from a family of dancers that have set fire to many stages. Yet, when the siblings combine their skills as a duo, it transforms into another level of dancing magic.
During the United States National Amateur DanceSport Championships, the Andersons put on a spell-binding performance to the song, “You Say.” In fact, their routine impressed judges so much that Charity and Landon were named the 2019 National Cabaret Champions.
It’s a flawless dance act that’s been stealing people’s breath.
There have been many families to reach success because of their shared talents – and not just The Osmonds or The Jackson 5.
More recently, The Willis Clan became a worldwide sensation as a country music (and dance) group, while Julianne and Derek Hough enchanted crowds as sibling dance partners. Even brother and sister, Alex and Maia Shibutani, are an Olympic ice-skating duo.
As with the Andersons from Utah, a close bond can be seen through all of their spectacular performances.
Both Landon and Charity have had separate paths as accomplished dancers over the years.
According to the Charisma Dance Studio site, Landon “holds national titles in hip hop, contemporary, and ballroom at both National Dance Conventions and Ballroom Competitions,” and has appeared on So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars, and more.
In 2018, Charity competed on NBC’s reality TV show, World of Dance. She and her childhood dance partner, Andres Penate, even became finalists during the season. They even performed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show below!
The crowd was in for a special dance like no other when the Anderson siblings took the floor as a duo.
Charity was wearing a flowing white dress, while her brother Landon looked dashing in black. With Lauren Daigle’s song, “You Say” in the background – the pair soon had everyone’s jaws on the ground with their routine.
Their movements are smooth, captivating, and utterly flawless.
Together they spin across the dance floor and even perform complicated moves like when Landon hoists his sister into the air.
At one point, there was even a tiny mishap with Landon’s belt, but he didn’t miss a beat. He can be seen throwing it to the side all without interrupting their routine.
The dance is full of such passion and grace that it’s very emotional to watch, especially in connection to the song. On top of that, there are certain moves that have viewers awestruck.
Since the video was posted on YouTube it’s been watched more than 230,000 times by people all over the world. One person from another country commented:
“…your ideas are always so harmonious! and in my opinion this main thing in art and show. its created the feeling as if you were on ice, you glided so smoothly, circled, walked, as if youre be on skates! and so in all your ideas for dancing, there always remains an aftertaste: “wow!”
Another commenter put it a little more simply:
“Absolutely fabulous… tears of joy. Amazingly breathtaking. Thank you for sharing.”
It’s not surprising that the brother and sister duo took home first prize for their dance performance. Hopefully, there will be many more to come – and we’ll surely be watching!
