Together, they try out for the lead parts in their high school musical, and as a result, divide the school. Despite other students' attempts to thwart their dreams, Troy and Gabriella resist peer pressure and rivalry, inspiring others along the way not to "stick with the status quo."

Can I Have This Dance
High School Musical Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine
And let the music be your guide
Won't you promise me
(Now won't you promise me
That you'll never forget)
(To keep dancing)
Wherever we go next
It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
(Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you through it all
And you can't keep us apart
(Even a thousand miles
Can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is
('Cause my heart is)
Wherever you are
It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
(Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
Oh, no mountain's too high and no
Ocean's too wide
'Cause together or not
Our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe
That we were meant to be, yeah
It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone like you (like you)
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way we do (way we do)
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
(Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
"I Don't Dance" is a romantic song from High School Musical 2, performed by the characters Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens). The song is sung in the scene where Troy, a basketball player, is invited by Gabriella to attend a game of baseball. Initially skeptical, Troy eventually agrees to attend and finds himself on the pitch, realizing that he has to dance and not hit a ball. The lyrics articulate the couple's feelings for each other while also conveying the idea that dancing together can make them come closer.
The song begins with Troy and Gabriella standing close to each other, and the lyrics prompt them to hold hands and take a deep breath, signifying that they are both nervous about what they are getting themselves into. The couple is then advised to pay attention to one another and let the music be their guide so that they can dance together. The chorus of the song talks about their feelings for each other and how unique they are. The idea that dancing together can make them come closer is reinforced in every step they take during the song.
Troy then takes the lead in the second verse of the song, making Gabriella feel safe while they dance. The lyrics also suggest that they will be there for each other through thick and thin and that they will always find each other, even if they are far apart. In the bridge, the lyrics emphasize the fact that they are meant to be together no matter what, and their love will overcome any obstacle.

Everything about this scene was perfection. The music. The cinematography. The setting. The costumes. The sophisticated choreography. The real chemistry between Vanessa and Zac.

They can make 1000 spin-offs, remakes, new series etc but NOTHING can ever top this. This feels like magic

The version by Josh and Sofia matches this as Josh's voice is better than Zacs but Sofia's voice is not as good as Vanessa
