Re: Funky old dance routines...
I liked the dance numbers. The music was not my cup of tea though. This video has sent me down the "rabbit hole" and now I'm watching many more dance compilations. I guess there are worse things to be doing during a winter storm stuck inside though

Re: Funky old dance routines...
It's funny, I was hoping that was the video you were about to show! I showed it to my students at school as a way to trick them into learning about anything with historical context. Notice how many of those dance routines featured Fred Astaire? Almost as many shots of Gene Kelly. My FAVORITE part is near the very end at the 4:30 mark. It looks like I need to find "Panama Hattie" and watch it. I don't know HOW those guys didn't split themselves right in half. Incredible. No CGI!
