That's what I call real tap dancing with real tap shoes. I'm a tap dance teacher and have been for quite a while. I only comment is women should wear a slight heel or mid heel when tap dancing. I actually have custom shoes made that have a 3 1/2 inch heel And enormous tap in the front for a loud sound but so many times when you watch these films from the 1930s and 40s they don't have taps on their shoes so how do you know if they're really tap dancing or if the sound coordinate what they're doing it's plugged it's plugged in later Like lip syncing. It's not right and people who say they didn't want the floor getting scratched these floors aren't getting scratched there's no way to judge. How could a tap answer is when they're doing it in sneakers with these girls you can tell how good they are and they are good.

These are my uncle Darwin daughters I remember watching this I was in elementary ❤

Eleanore Whitney, the talented tap dancer and actress, was born on April 12, 1917, in Cleveland, Ohio12. Unfortunately, she passed away on November 1, 1983, in New York City only 66 years old.

Is Bonnie on the right? She was 11 then born in 1944. I can find no info on Maxine Grossman and Mickey mouse club. Sadly Bonnie died of throat cancer.

Beautiful !!!!!!! If they were 11 then they are now about 89 in 2024❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Whatever happened to this girl? I had a huge crush on her when I was a kid watching The Cosby Show.

I be the poster could have identified which was which, and who the older person in between was.

I’ll be glad once The Mickey Mouse Club will one day be in The Public Domain despite the fact that I have to wait 27 more years for that to happen🙄

I wish that she was triplets.

Let's go cuzzo

I remember her. beautiful girl and got all her real hair and its long too which is rare in blk communities

I didn't know she had such a nice butt.

Lovely lady!

너무 이쁘고 매력있어요 춤이 예술입니다❤❤❤

She's fun to watch!

Late 1970s.

Inesita and I are friends. She’s now 100 years old but looks much much younger. She still dances and still performs and still teaches flamenco in Los Angeles She’s absolutely amazing

more likely to be Jean Black (singer and tap-dancer)

Is she still getting residuals?

I always love the tap dance numbers

I’m pretty sure my dad was in the episode trying to find the full version of this

Ah, what fond memories this brings back! Along with La Sheba the belly dancer, Mysterious Manley the magician, and the disco-dancing quadruplets known as "The Clonettes."

My dad made that floor... :)

Great ass. Was she dancing? Sorry. Didn't notice.

Does anyone know what the name of this piece of music is? BTW, I love this clip of Elinor Donahue's dancing!

¡Que hermosa!

Fully enamored seeing her for the first time (in my late 70s) in the premier season of The Andy Griffith Show. I was very sorry to see her leave. I'm now doing a deeper dive into her professional life and my admiration deepens. Adorable and talented.

I found her on tiktok lol

Poignant that these two highly talented girls had unknowingly missed three buses. By the mid-1950s tap was on its way out, rock music was about to oust the jazz-swing that better suited movie dancing, and the Hollywood musical was becoming a casualty of the resultant splintering of audiences. Disney's early embrace of TV contributed to that, btw. Had the young ladies been born 20 years earlier, they might have enjoyed stellar careers in the Golden Age.
