Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell turned their wedding anniversary into an unforgettable celebration, surprising guests at the Australia Zoo with a lively jive to Elton John’s classic “Crocodile Rock.” The impromptu performance, filled with laughter, spins, and plenty of energy, lit up the stage and left both loved ones and fans in awe. For the couple, it was more than just a dance—it was a statement of love, family, and the unique life they’ve built together.
The performance began modestly, with Bindi and Chandler sharing a smile as the opening chords of the song rang out. Within seconds, however, the couple leapt into action, delivering a routine that blended playful footwork with cheeky showmanship. Guests couldn’t resist clapping along as the two twirled across the stage, embodying the carefree spirit of the tune.
What made the moment even more magical was the setting itself. Surrounded by friends, family, and, true to Irwin tradition, a few curious animal onlookers, the performance captured the essence of the Australia Zoo—the place where their love story first took root. From kangaroos hopping nearby to birds calling overhead, the wild backdrop turned the dance into a spectacle only the Irwins could pull off.
For Bindi, dancing at the zoo was especially meaningful. It’s the place where she grew up, where her father Steve Irwin built his legacy, and where she and Chandler exchanged vows years earlier. By choosing to celebrate their anniversary with dance in that same space, Bindi and Chandler paid tribute not only to their love, but also to the family history that continues to shape their lives.
Chandler, who has embraced the Irwin legacy wholeheartedly since marrying into the family, shone just as brightly during the number. Matching Bindi’s energy beat for beat, his effortless enthusiasm showed just how much the couple’s bond has deepened through their shared work, parenthood, and commitment to carrying on Steve’s vision of wildlife conservation.

For many in attendance, it wasn’t just a dance—it was a window into a marriage built on trust, playfulness, and mutual support.
Fans online were quick to share clips of the routine, praising the couple’s chemistry and applauding the way they continue to balance public life with genuine intimacy. “They’re the real deal,” one fan wrote. “You can feel the love just watching them dance.” The video quickly went viral, drawing congratulations and warm messages from around the world.
For the Irwins, anniversaries aren’t just dates on a calendar—they’re opportunities to celebrate life in full color. The choice to mark the occasion with a jive embodied their philosophy of living with wild-hearted joy, a value passed down from Steve and carried forward by the entire family.
As the night ended, one thing was clear: Bindi and Chandler’s anniversary wasn’t just a milestone. It was a celebration of love, legacy, and the joy of dancing through life—together, and with a little help from the wildlife that makes their story so uniquely theirs
