Presenting a young Peter Martins, Twyla Tharp and ’70s NFL icon Lynn Swann in Tharp’s Dance is a Man’s Sport, Too. (And thanks to our sister publication Dance Magazine for sharing it!) Swann is known for taking ballet classes to improve his vertical jump and agility on the field. In this clip, he shows off his leaping prowess against Martins, who of course went on to direct New York City Ballet. Who has the better ups?

“Dancing with the Stars” premieres tonight at 8, with a promising lineup of contestants, including athletes, singers and even Bill Nye the Science Guy! Swann’s former team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, plays at 8:40.
