This dance sequence goes so well with so many upbeat numbers. It's so great to watch over and over. Sadly, that world, that talent, that entertainment is long gone.

@ststephen1231 Her teacher and dancing partner was her dad, Eduardo Cansino.

[@Unknownlll123]

I thought she was only an actress. 😊.

[@jayeclements6452]

It was pretty common in this golden era of movies 1930s/40s for actors to have all the skills. Joan Crawford, James Cagney, Lauren Bacall, Mickey Rooney, (obviously) Judy Garland, Donald O'Conner and our own John Mills all started as 'song and dance' people. The contract system at the studios in those days made it almost impossible to refuse to do a movie the studio told you to do so the actors had to be prepared for dramatic, comedy or musicals. Interestingly, Ginger Rogers won her Academy Award for a dramatic role, not a dance movie, so it worked both ways.

[@lynnbaker6331]

Her uncle in Spain operated one of the finest dance schools in Europe.

[@annettepora8091]

Rita started as a dancer. I've read Astaire picked her best as a dance partner. She certainly matches him step by step.

[@kevinwaters5872]

Normally your eyes are fixed on Fred when he is dancing. But Rita really matched him step for step here , and let’s face it , she would be eye-catching just standing still. What a brilliant clip.

I love the greasy rotund Argentinian leading the band with nearly imperceptible hand movements - takes the cake. According to Hollywood folklore, a screen test report on Astaire for RKO Radio Pictures, now lost along with the test, is reported to have read: "Can't sing. Can't act. Balding. Can dance a little." I knew that Fred's name was a fiction and I'd assumed that was because of an overtly Jewish name But such was not the case. Astaire of course - sounds like - to the stars. He was of German /Lutheran extraction mainly. Oh, and I think he can dance. TE. Fidler NzL

@@edmart8891 No the dance sequence comes from a film, but the name escapes me at the moment.

FANTASTIC!!! Thank you, Roman Bellic, for sharing this wonderful video. Fred and Rita look like they are having so much fun dancing effortlessly to Jackie Wilson's uplifting song. I smiled throughout the entire video. PEACE to ALL ... and STAY SAFE and HEALTHY.

Wow! Rita was something else!🙂👏👏👏

No wonder why Fred Astaire became one of Michael Jackson's inspirational choreographers. Because he was such an incomparable dancer.

Just as well we have ears AND eyes ! How else could we have appreciated this excellent marriage of the dancing of Fred Astaire & Rita Hayworth from a 50s movie to the brilliant soul singing of Jackie Wilson's 60s hit. A Double Whammy never tasted better 😊🎉❤ And boy, those two shimmied their way like Strictly could do with a tribute.

My mum has passed away years ago she's always with me and I'll tell you she was the greatest dancer of a lady
