During a performance inspired by Disney’s 1992 Broadway production of Newsies, Pasillas, who was front and center among the ensemble dancers, suddenly slipped and landed on his behind. But rather than let the fall throw him off, he quickly recovered, lifting his leg into the air and making the unexpected move look almost intentional.
In his Instagram video, Pasillas laughed about the moment before showing followers what the choreography was actually supposed to look like.
“This is what I was supposed to do,” Pasillas said before jumping into the air, spinning around and landing on his feet.
He then reiterated, “The show must go on,” while continuing to laugh about the accidental spill.
And clearly, viewers were just as impressed with his recovery as he was amused by the whole thing. Several commenters even admitted they hadn’t realized anything went wrong.
