Travis Kelce learned a few new dance moves while filming “Grotesquerie.”
His co-star Niecy Nash shared a video on Instagram Friday of the cast and crew busting some moves on set of Ryan Murphy’s new horror series in order to inspire new touchdown dances for the NFL star.
The Emmy-winning actress captioned the post, “Don’t be fooled by the video…. We are working hard for @ryanmurphyproductions In between shots is another story 😅”
Nash then tagged Kelce and wrote, “@killatrav our crew has got your back!😂🙌🏽”

In the clip, the “Reno 911!” alum asks the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, “OK, so, you’ve seen many things that you could do. What was a stand-out? What was your fave [dance move]?”
Kelce, 34, then responds with a laugh, “Man, I can’t even tell you what half of them was called, but I might have to hit the ‘Lil’ Kim,’” referencing the dance Nash, 54, did in honor of the rap superstar.
The football player then proceeded to do the dance while his co-stars encouraged him, chanting, “Ey!”
Kelce added in the comments section of the post, “😂😂😂 Im goin to be showing out this year!! 👏🏻👏🏻.”
It was revealed earlier this week that the “New Height” podcast host will be starring in the FX series.

Sources told Deadline Tuesday that Kelce was going to be making his acting debut on the show, and then Nash shared via Instagram later that day that she was “on site” with the pro athlete.
“Guys, guess who I am working with on ‘Grotesquerie?’” the “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” star cheekily asked.
Kelce then chimed in with a big smile on his face, “Jumping into new territory with Niecy!”
The FX series, which also stars Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville, will reportedly premiere this fall.

Since the Super Bowl champ is busy shooting his new show, he has been unable to join his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, on her Eras Tour, which resumed earlier this week in Paris.
However, Kelce made sure to send his support for the pop superstar, also 34, via social media.
“[Let’s f–king go]!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻,” he wrote under a post Swift’s lead guitarist shared Thursday.
The Grammy winner, for her part, has also proved she is thinking of Kelce while she’s on tour.

Swift performed “So High School” — the song she wrote about her beau — while in the City of Love, and she and her dancers incorporated their own version of the “Swag Surfin’” dance into their choreography.
In January, the “Fortnight” singer went viral when she and pal Brittany Mahomes did the same moves while watching Kelce and Patrick Mahomes play during a Chiefs game.
It’s unclear if Kelce will join Swift in Paris soon. She is scheduled to perform at the Paris La Défense Arena through Sunday before continuing the international leg of her Eras Tour in Sweden next week.
