Thanks tucsonsky and homedoggy. I really enjoyed the entertainment!
Ditto...what Kenyon said. I enjoyed both of the videos very much. However, those old musicals with all the dancing are just really up my alley.
Blood pressure went up a bit there.Thanks to you both.Good start to the day.
Or...if you like the Ramones
barzonymous, that was an excellent video....loved it!! And, homedoggy, your video was hilarious!! Great way to start my Saturday. Thanks to both of you.
Mr. Bojangles (yep, the one Jerry Jeff Walker wrote the song about) and Shirley Temple from The Little Colonel .. .. ..
Thank you. Fred and Rita dancing together is an obsession. She's not singing, but those all all her steps.
And then there are the Nicholas Brothers...
This is dancing don't you agree?
barzonymous, that was spectacular with Rita and Fred...and if she wasn't singing that song, that was some first-class dubbing for that time period. I loved the Nicolas Brothers, too. What wonderful energy. I just simply love the talent all of these dancers show. gmaterre, what a lovely surprise. I wasn't really aware (or didn't remember) that Bob Hope and James Cagney were such great dancers! Thanks to both of you. I'm enjoying the living daylights out of these videos!!
as long as we're in the burlesque era .. .. .. from my fav musical of all time, Gyosy .. .. ..
oopsy, spelled it wrong, LOL, Gypsy, like these kings .. .. ..
Natalie Woods dancing? How about this?
what if Cleopatra was a break dancer, hmmm .. .. ..
That girl has some mighty fine moves. She must live in front of a mirror perfecting that!
This is probably a dance team most of you don't know-but watch how strong he is and how balletic she is. Georges and Jalna. This is a scene from a Jimmy Stewart movie. She was Native American -they were married, opened their own dance club and were amazing:
Dancing. Such a great talent. School dances when I was in high school already had moves that required little effort (perhaps the exception being break dancing, but whether it is really dancing is a debate for another time 😒). Real dancing is something I wish I could do. Took beginning American Ballroom Dancing in college with dismal results. But my love for great dancing is neverending.
dance is simply the movement of the body with rhythm, u don't need music, u don't need a partner, and u sure don't need to do 15th century euro-centric movements to qualify as a dancer .. .. .. u don't even need feet .. .. ..
I absolutely knew James Cagney could dance like that, but Bob Hope is a revelation. I know he danced a bit, but not like that.
absolutely fascinating revelation, like finding out the world isn't flat .. .. .. roflmao
don't sit on the sidelines and wait, participate, radiate!!!
I appear to have fallen madly and gladly down a rabbit hole where Fred Astaire is concerned-here with the sublime Cyd Charisse.
Two masters of dance merging styles in a brilliant dance sequence:
i streamed Frasier this summer, from first episode to last, this is my favorite scene .. .. ..
in paso doble, the lead (Michal Malitowski) represents the bullfighter, his partner (Joanna Leunis) represents the cape .. .. .. often u will see lots of flash and glitz in these dances, but here, substance and creative expression rule .. .. ..
just for fun!
Great fun @tucsonsky - the mix of styles
ok everybody! it's ur turn to dance!!! here's some music so u can "do anything that u wanna do but let's dance!" .. .. ..
tucsonsky, you are a hoot! 😂 Thanks for the memories.
Nothing like a tango
psycha-diddly-delic baby! have a groovy sunday!
jabba, this is for u and ur beautiful friend Kirra
i'm deeply sorry for ur loss
it's a new day, a new week, and i'm getting ready for it with a new way to warm up!
Who knew that following the pleasures of Greenfelt - what a great adventure you would lead me to, tucsonsky. Thank you for starting Let's Dance. With various clicks, I also viewed, contortionists, gymnasts, Cirque de Soleil, America's (and Britain's) Got Talent, etc. Hope you can find the 80 year old lady and her partner dancing. Incredible!
Yesterday, MSN had a feature called "The Best Dance Scenes in Movie History". Enjoy.
life is indeed an adventure, Kenyon, what a privilege it is to meet a kindred spirit .. .. .. and thank u for leading me to 80-year old Paddy who says "as long as people enjoy what we do and we can bring them pleasure" .. .. .. that's what its all about, yee haw!!! 🤠
beautiful!
Alfonso Ribeiro aka Carlton from 1990

Great stuff, from a kinder and gentler time in our lives. Thanks!!

I can't believe we didn't have this dance posted earlier. It's a cult classic.
love it, @gmaterre
Thanks @homedoggy.

Stole this from a link to what you posted, @homedoggy...

🎉 Happy Birthday Bruce 🎉 spark 'em up, yee haw!
Phyllis Hyman & 3-time tony award winner Hinton Battle (scarecrow in The Wiz) do-wa-do-wa-do-wa-do-wahhhhhh!!!
no mirrors involved in rehearsing this dance .. .. ..
a pioneer of American modern dance, Martha Graham's choreography still feels new more than 100 years later .. .. ..

Let's have some real, old fashioned fun. How many have seen folks dance with small tables as a partner? And of course one can only do that in a Pullman Car to the sounds of Grocho Marx's most famous song.
I am a big Busby Berkely fan. Also love the movie "Tap"
from one azgal to another .. .. ..
How about a water ballet folks?
That is beautiful...
let the silliness begin .. .. ..
namaste
It's not everything, but it is a wide variety of great movie dances.
That was so fun! Thank you.
Oh yes! That went down well with my porridge.Thank-you both.Another good start to the day.Play on!
nigel may have eleven, but this kid, seriously, are you nuts?!? .. .. ..
Such talent. His life turned out so sadly.
it depends on what u wanna focus on .. .. .. all things considered, i think he had a great life, he got to do what he loved, explore his creativity to the max, fulfill many dreams, and made a fortune doing it .. .. .. to this day he has billions of fans around the globe, his work continues to influence dancers, singers, and song writers and will for generations to come, i should be so lucky LOL
I think of how much he loved his children and how he's missing them growing up. Family is such an important part of this life, and I think he knew that.
ok, back to the ball, shall we dance?
Halloween dance
Super cute homedoggy. I'd never seen Beetlejuice. Now I know I must.
howdy sierrarose! ur new profile pic is adorable, something about the colors and playfulness of it reminded me of this performance from the Dancers Association of China, enjoy!
"look ma, no hands!!!"
HOLY SMOKE!!!!!! Tucsonsky, I just saw that with my own eyes and it's still hard to believe. WOW!!!!
she was on Dance Moms, her name is Lilly and she scored a perfect 10 for that performance, i would have given her 11!
@tusconsky The Chinese Swan Lake was fantastic. The athleticism is amazing! I get tired just thinking about it.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
jabba...I'd forgotten how great this video, and Michael Jackson, were. Thanks. And a Happy Halloween to you, too.
this is Jerome Murat and La Statue
I hadn't seen anyone do the Nitty Gritty in 35ish years. Thanks homedoggy.
join me now as the "Skank That Big Fat Butt Away Tour" continues with Reel Big Fish .. .. ..
tusconsky -- La Statue was definitely clever! I never saw it before. Thanks.
This group is so incredible it's hard to pick just one of their videos!
this avant garde piece merges costume and lighting into the dance, i find it stunning .. .. ..
Happy Halloween everyone!
All my joints are protesting after that one.What a show!
I know how you feel!
I want to know how that door closed.
It's not Halloween without a dancing skeleton.
Or a group of dancing skeletons
What a show.Another good start to the day.Just nice to have a smile.Makes all the difference.I do like the dancing skeleton.Nice one.
now this is what i call the tango, muy bonita .. .. .. Juan Vargas y Paulina Mejia
