“So here we go, weekend one of exploring and getting back in the saddle,” he wrote on top of the first dance clip included in his Stories. “I haven’t danced in years,” he added. “And dance has moved on so much since then. I decided to document the exploration so I could see it. As well and some people just thing [sic] you can dance or you can’t.”
Tatum continued, “I’m here to tell you that is not true if you want to you can move and hear the music. This is gonna be slow journey but welcome.”
In the fourth slide showing him dancing, he wrote, “Kids hear and feel the music so well today. I’ve been working at different things lately. So let’s go. Session one.”
His final slide only featured text with the words, “Sloppy floor work but was tired ahah.” He added, “I’ll probably regret in the morning. F— sake. But life always an exploration. Let’s go.”
