Keyworker Jade Bucknall proved she’s still got the moves after recreating an adorable dance tribute to Madonna that she made when she was six.
The 24-year-old was having a clear-out of her old possessions when she stumbled across a box of camcorder videotapes.
One of them was a clip of her younger self dancing to Madonna’s video for the theme tune of the James Bond film Die Another Day.
Jade, of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, has now recreated the routine and filmed herself dancing alongside the throwback video.
Since they’ve been posted on Facebook, the videos have been viewed, shared, and liked more than 10,000 times by people worldwide.
Jade, who works in a hospital operating theatre, admits she was obsessed with the movie when it was released in 2002.
With extra downtime in lockdown, the family decided to go through all the tapes – recorded on a camcorder.
Jade said: ‘I was getting pretty bored during lockdown so my mum and I decided to have a clear out.
‘We were going through a box of old video tapes and came across six of me when I was a kid.
‘I was absolutely obsessed with Madonna’s Die Another Day.
‘I’d watch the music video and copy the routine and asked my mum to film me doing the dance on a proper old camcorder.’
Jade added: ‘I just thought it would be fun to recreate the dance routine and put it online so I did and the response has been amazing.
‘I took snippets of it and posted it on social media and it got a load of likes.
‘I’m not great at editing and technology but my dance teacher tends to do lots of edits, so I picked up a few tips off her when I put the old and the new footage together.
‘It took some time but I did it.’
Jade continued her love for dance into adulthood but decided not to pursue it professionally.
‘I chopped and changed in adolescence, I began studying dance full-time.
‘I got a job in the operating department at the hospital, which I’ve been doing since I was 18.
‘I was at a dance academy in Leicester but you had to look a certain way rather than being judged on actual dancing ability, so I fell out of love with it and got my old job back at the hospital.’
