Sufjan, Lord Of The Dance

The folks at Vulture brought cameras to critically acclaimed Adz salesman Sufjan Stevens’s recent dance rehearsals in preparation for his pair of upcoming, tour-concluding Prospect Park shows. What? Oh yeah, Sufjan’s live show now features intricate dance routines, and these Brooklyn shows are going to expand the ones you may have seen over this tour’s 60-some-odd shows to date. This is because dressing up like a bird and playing every instrument known to man while also making you cry with preciously melodic poetry was not enough for one man, probably. In this clip you get to see Stevens let loose in a dance studio under earnest citations of Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and Michael Jackson as inspiration points. The Suf-troupe’s mantra? “What Would Beyoncé Do.” Watch:

The shows are at Prospect Park August 2nd (sold-out) and August 3rd (buy tix while you can).

  1. Sufjan is truely the perfect man.

  2. It’s not like this is the first time he has done choreographed movement in his shows. This seems way more awesome and elaborate than the cheerleading bit for Illinoise though..

  3. Still the hottest guy in indie. The clip above is proof

  4. He’s definitely a much better dancer than I am…

  5. So, something weird happens at 2:36 in the video. The foreground just has Sufjan, but over his left shoulder (the right of the screen) there’s a strange jump cut involving the girl in the mirror. What gives?

  6. I’m so in love with this man.

  7. What a fucking hero.

  8. lolol he comes to my job every week…

  9. what job is that?
