Wednesday April 30, 2008
Categories: Movies
Dancing has always been a movie metaphor for celebrating your spirit and following your dreams. I think that is why shows like "Dancing with the Stars" and even the cheesy ones like "So You Think You Can Dance?" are so...

dirty dancing
Wish I could dance that good!!! I would make a movie also!!lol
my favorite is Scent of a Woman. The Tango scene is beautiful forever!!!!
SurprisedAmerican in Paris,King &I, And Charade and Oklahoma & wasn't acknowledged.
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers had a good dance sequence!!
I love the movie Strictly Ballroom!!! You have good taste! Here are two more: The dance scene between the orthodox and jewish men in Fiddler on the Roof. And you can't beat any dance scene with Dick Vandyke in Mary Poppins!
my favorite is the very romantic but at the same time, sensual dance between Maria and the Captain in Sound of Music
I enjoy, and agree with, all the movies you've listed above...but my kids and I really enjoy the dance solo on Napoleon Dynamite! And there's one that was on UTube awhile back of a guy who did a dance timeline...it was brilliant! Check it out!
"Flashdance" and "Rent" are two of my favorite dance movies and neither one of them made it to the top 10 list! I guess I have no taste or could it be the other way around?!? Anyways if you like dance and musicals check out these two, they both put a little bounce in my step! "Have a Terrific Day"!
How 'bout the Russ Tamblyn scene where he dances on shovels...or Donald O'Connor's "I Can Dance" scene...or anything with Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse, Donald O'Connor, Dan Dailey, Fred Astaire, Adele Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Buddy Ebson, Sammy Davis Jr. ... MikeB
These are all great! There's one I really liked called "Dance With Me" with Vanessa Williams and Antonio Banderois, I think, I can't think of the older lady in it but she said "I want to do that", a he danced with her.
Why didn't you include "Flashdance'? Flashdance was a very inspiring fictional story for many dancers and the general public not to mention a great soundtrack.
where is saturday night fever that one is my favorite of all time
I think STEP UP, SAVE THE LAST DANCE, and FLASHDANCE definitely deserve a place on your list. These movies are very inspirational, as the main character triumphs at the end with some awe-inspiring moves!
I teach Ballroom Dance professionally and one additional movie is "Take the Lead" it is based on a true story about Pierre Dulaine!
Amazing and fabulous!!! Keep dancing everyone or start dancing!!
honey should be on ur list
