Did you see this? A video from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has blown up online after showing a group of dancers performing their routine right through what appears to be fresh horse poop. The footage, already viewed millions of times, shows the dancers smiling and kicking their way through choreography as they step directly in the mess left behind by the NYPD mounted unit.

The Clip Everyone Is Talking About

People online cannot believe it. Some viewers are praising the dancers for staying professional, calling them “troopers” and “the definition of the show must go on.” Others are slamming parade organizers for not clearing the route first. One user wrote, “Those poor girls… this should NEVER happen in a parade this big.” Another added, “How was this not cleaned up? This is nasty.”

No Answers Yet From Parade Officials

So far, neither Macy’s nor the NYPD has commented on the video or explained how the cleanup may have slipped through. It’s also still unclear which dance group was involved or whether they realized what they were stepping in during the performance.
