Someone has to put this “baby” in a corner.
An intoxicated dance teacher redefined “breakdancing” after landing horribly on her head as she tried to recreate Baby and Johnny’s iconic “Dirty Dancing” lift with her boyfriend.
“Everything went so fast,” said Millie Slennett, 25, of the moment of bone-breaking that has gone viral.
“I didn’t have my professional cap on,” he told Kennedy News, originally from Sydney, Australia. “We had had a few drinks, but I think having a few of them may have helped me fall because I was a little more relaxed.”
The bewildered boogie began after Millie challenged her 19-year-old sister Rosie to a dance in her family’s garden. They wanted to see who could best play the high-flying sequence from the 1987 film “Dirty Dancing,” in which Patrick Swayze’s Johnny hoisted Jennifer Gray Baby over his head as he did a song from the ’80s. ” I’ve had the time of my life. ”
Millie was confident that she and her boyfriend, 6-foot-1 Conner Justin, “had her in her bag,” as she was a dance teacher and her sister was just a fashion designer. Also, her brother’s attempt was “terrible,” according to Millie.
In the 23-second video filmed by her sister, things started promisingly with the dance professional running a leap into Justin’s arms, lifting her over her head so that she was parallel to the ground.
“I thought we’d nailed it,” recalled Millie, who also hosts the podcast of “The Dance Pod,” of her not-so-triumphant moment in the spotlight.
However, his recreation twists after he falls on his friend’s shoulders and gets on his head, causing his neck and body to bend violently like a folding chair.
“I tried to lift my legs higher and then they went over my head,” said the choreographer, who practices several dance sequences at home with Justin. “It went from good to bad in about 0.3 seconds.”
“I am very lucky. It could have been much worse … It could have been dead. “

At that moment, Rosie stopped filming and her family hurried to see if Millie could still move her limbs.
The makeshift woman was later reported to the hospital, where CT scans revealed she had miraculously escaped any damage other than bruises. After reviewing images of the crash, doctors were surprised he could walk.
“I know I’m very lucky. It could have been a lot worse, “Millie said.” It could have broken my neck or hurt my spine. It could have died. “
Instagram viewers were equally baffled about how he managed to come out illustrious of the trick.
“WOW !!!!!! I’m glad I’m okay, that’s very extreme, ”exclaimed a relieved commentator on the saga evoking“ Unbreakable ”.
Another wrote, “Omg Millie, toes curdled, belly stretched. I close my eyes. Scary! ”
Still, the shocking clip meant it bothered Millie’s father so much that he vowed to remove it from the phone.
As for the dance routine, Millie said she “wouldn’t recommend trying it out after a couple of drinks.”
“Definitely try it first at a pool or something.”
