Eleanor Powell had to be the strongest female dancer I've seen. She was the "Lucille Ball"of dance. Miss Powell was willing to do anything,even dangerous moves, to be the best dancer possible!

There are several nifty compilations of Ellie- she inspires them. Speaking as the world's #1 EP fan, this is as good as any on KZbin: expertly synchronized, intelligently organized to bring out one facet after another by grouping similar moves and expressions. Bravo! Ellie was more proud of her balletic abilities, spinning and turning, than of her tapping speed. And her athleticism also derived from her early aspirations to ballet, though she worked acrobatics into her routines more fluently than some posing assoluta of the Bolshoi ever did. Glad to see glimpses of the often-overlooked 'There's a Strange New Rhythm in My Heart' from Rosalie, including her farewell kiss. The only omission is 'Pinball' from 'Sensations of 1945', the apogee of her aggressive, swinging side. Some people object in principle to compilations from the Golden Age being set to contemporary tunes. I doubt Ellie would have minded. She was always abreast of musical trends, and her son Peter played a part in getting rock and roll off the ground! These mashups are introducing younger generations to the CGI-free virtuosity of the dancers who made musicals immortal between 1933 and c. 1957. They are old Hollywood's most precious legacy to us.

Very nice! My mother is in many of these routines...particularly visible spinning the rope in the scene from Honolulu. She was Powell's stand-in,

@@SaxonBrack by the time we were old enough to care, she didn’t seem to want to talk about it much. She’d been out of the business a long time by then, and life hasn’t been easy after our father was killed.

As a tap dancer she was easily Astaire's equal, but as an athlete, she was second to none in Old Hollywood! Amazing :)
