The iconic performance of “Step In Time” featuring Dick Van Dyke from Disney’s Mary Poppins (1964) is a timeless classic, blending energetic choreography and catchy music.
In the scene, Van Dyke, as the cheerful chimney sweep Bert, leads a lively group of fellow sweeps in a high-energy rooftop dance. The performance bursts with unbridled joy as the dancers leap, spin, and kick across London’s chimneys, their synchronized movements echoing the rhythm of the energetic tune.
Van Dyke’s charisma shines as he leads the charge, his boundless energy and comedic timing perfectly complementing the athletic choreography.
The set design is equally striking, with the London skyline creating a magical yet gritty backdrop. The smoky chimneys, dim lighting, and whimsical effects transport viewers into a fantastical version of Edwardian London.
When the iconic scene is reimagined on stage, it evokes both joy and a deep sense of nostalgia. Derek Hough and the legendary Dick Van Dyke teamed up for a breathtaking rendition of “Step in Time” from Mary Poppins, creating a moment that left fans buzzing.

Another chimed in, “I’ve rarely seen a more thunderous reaction from an audience all of a sudden. Even I got chills when I saw him show up and the crowd went absolutely insane. Let’s give our legends their honor while they’re here with us.”
