One of the dancers who did the live Grammys As It Was performance with Harry, explained that they had a major technical error during the performance on live tv. As soon as the curtains opened and the table began to spin, it started spinning backwards. So after a week of rehearsing an entire choreography going in one direction, they had to quickly adapt while on stage on live tv and do the entire dance backwards!!

I think this explains a lot about why Harry was so visibly nervous and appeared thrown off at the start of the song, as well as the criticism that the choreography didn't appear to be well rehearsed. Because it wasn't. They literally had to improvise and do it all backwards on the spot. Things like this happen with live performances, it's how it goes. I personally think they all did an incredible job given the technical error, including Harry! I loved this choreographed dance, and I hope he does more dances on stage like this!
“…even if sometimes the world turns backwards…” ❤️
Yoann Bourgeois is the creator of the dance routine on the spinning platform. He’s a genius and it’s amazing what he does. Go give him a shoutout if you can! He deserves it!
I have been talking to a friend of mine about how I see HDB as someone very affectionate physically towards his friends, and also how I assume that Jean and Harry had times of partying together a lot, and parties with Harry means dancing but they said "...I can't really see this" so this happened.
