The Atherton family majorly upped the ante for living-room dance parties during Sunday night's Stronger Together, Tous Ensemble Canadian broadcast benefit [3]. The group of talented dancers — composed of Cirque du Soleil artists Kevin, Andrew, and Gasya Atherton and their kids — teamed up to share a mesmerising at-home performance for the live-streamed fundraiser event, which was held to honour coronavirus front-line workers and fundraise for Food Banks Canada.

To kick things off, identical twins Kevin and Andrew [4] joined forces to fluidly nail various acrobatic moves in tandem, and Gasya (Andrew's wife) hand-balanced on stilts with her daughter, Kamali, casually clinging to her back. Their grand-finale move was by far the cutest and most impressive, though. Gasya was carefully standing atop a stilt with her son and daughter doing leg holds nearby when Kevin's baby son, Luca, attempted to do his very own leg hold (keyword: attempted). Watch the Atherton family crush their entire routine above — in matching outfits and jeans, no less.
