Lee From Steps Has Revealed Where The Iconic Tragedy Dance Move Actually Comes From

Nineties kids are in a for a surprise. The iconic Tragedy dance move, that we all perfected as part of our birthday party repertoire, was inspired by another one of our favourite childhood gems - Home Alone. We know, it's a lot to take in. The move, which involves vertical hands on either side of the head, was actually inspired by the Home Alone poster which features a young Macauley Culkin with his hands slapped on either side of his face. That's according to former band member Lee Latchford-Evans, who set music website pop justice straight in the comment sections of a post about the moves, as the eagle-eyed folk at Cosmopolitan spotted. Pop Justice had written: "The original dance routine for Steps' Tragedy did not involve the vertical hands we now take for granted. Instead, it consisted of a single hand raised to the forehead with its palm out, in the manner one might associate with a 1940s Hollywood actress attempting to portray grief or a minor headache. How different pop might be now had the dance routine not been revised." However, Lee was having none of it, and commented: "Unfortunately not true, it was actually taken & devised by our choreographer from the 'Home Alone' poster". Two of our childhood faves collided in such a beautiful way and to think we never knew!
