Someone has to put this “Child” in a corner.
A drunk dance teacher redefined “breakdancing” after landing terribly on her head while trying to recreate the iconic rise of Baby and Johnny from “Dirty Dancing” with her boyfriend.
“Everything went so fast,” said 25-year-old Millie Slennett of the bone cracking that has gone viral since then.
“I didn’t have my professional cover,” the Sydney, Australia native told Kennedy News. “I drank a few drinks – but I think having something in my system may have helped me fall, because I was a little more relaxed.”
The boogie started after Millie challenged her 19-year-old sister Rosie to a dance in their family’s garden. They wanted to see who could better replicate the flight sequence from the 1987 film “Dirty Dancing,” in which Patrick Swayze’s Johnny lifts Jennifer Gray Baby’s head above the 80’s hits. of my life” .
Millie was confident that she and her boyfriend, Conner Justin, 6 meters, “had him in her bag” because she was a dance teacher and her sister is just a fashion designer. Her brother’s attempt was also “terrible,” according to Millie.
In the 23-second video filmed by her sister, things started promising, with the dance professional jumping into Justin’s arms, then lifting her above his head so that she was parallel to the ground.
“I thought I caught him,” recalled Millie, who also hosts the podcast “The Dance Pod,” about her not-so-triumphant moment in the spotlight.
However, their recreation spoils after it spills over the beauty’s shoulders and lands on her head, causing her neck and body to bend violently, like a folding chair.
“I kept trying to lift my legs higher and then they got over my head,” said the choreographer, who practices various dance sequences at home with Justin. “It went from good to no in about 0.3 seconds.”
“I’m so lucky. It could have been so much worse … I could have died.”

At that moment, Rosie stopped filming and her family rushed to see if Millie could still move her limbs.
The woman’s improvised stunt was later reported to the hospital, where CT scans showed that she miraculously escaped any damage other than bruising. After analyzing the images of the accident, the doctors were surprised that it could not work at all.
“I know I’m so lucky. It could have been much worse, “said Millie. “I could have broken my neck or damaged my spine. I could have died. “
Instagram viewers were equally shaken by the way she managed to get out of the stunt unharmed.
“WOW !!!!!! I’m glad you’re fine, this is so extreme,” exclaimed a relieved commenter on the saga that causes “Unbreakable”.
Another wrote, “Omg Millie, my toes have gotten fat, my belly has turned upside down. I close my eyes. Frightening!”
However, the shocking video would have upset Millie’s father so much that he vowed to delete it from the phone.
As for the dance routine, Millie said she “wouldn’t recommend trying it after a few drinks.”
“Definitely try it in a pool or something first.”
