Fred Astaire in Royal Wedding (start about a minute in)...

Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse in Singin' in the Rain...

Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron in An American in Paris (music by George Gershwin)...

excited

Fred was ahead of his time! biggrin

I've seen people on this very site brush dancing off as it's just entertainment but it's not. It's one the greatest expressions and truly a fine art.

Energy, execution.....there's nothing like it biggrin

Alls I know is thank the lawd they weren't so much as ever seen in public with Prince- otherwise they would owe their entire careers and legacy in the world of entertainment to him.
