  6. I know what they say about Ginger doing everything backwards and in heels, but...damn, Fred had an incredible grace. Nope, nobody compares.

  8. Kelly had perhaps more athleticism, buy Astair can't be matched for the seeming effortless way he moved and did astounding things with his feet and body. There were so many good dancers in that era.

  21. Well done video showing stars of the past dancing to modern music. We need more feel good things to watch these days.

  22. That was really fun. When I took ballet, our teacher wanted us to be able to hear the beat in the music, so we learned a routine, and she played different kinds of music so we could dance to the beat. One of the selections was a Led Zeppelin tune, and it felt quite surreal.

  23. So the moves have always been there just needed the right music!

  24. What a fun video! I need to watch that again ...

  25. Very fun; I did enjoy ... except at the end where the men jumped from some height and landed doing the splits. Ouch. Other than that - yes!

  28. Wow! This is excellent. The dancing and the editing. came here via Andrew's Highriser.

  29. Not Ginger here, of course, but Astaire had many fine partners. My personal favorite was Marjorie Reynolds, she of the Mr. Wong B flicks (which I also consider underrated.) This dance sequence was a restoration project of the film folks in a NYC museum -- and so has become a teaching tool for would-be editors, i.e., can you spot the cuts, not counting the obvious costume changes?!

    And I'll put Donald O'Connor up against Fred and Gene in ANY category of performing: dancing, singing, and acting.
