I cannot believe nearly 99% of these wonderful dancers are tapping it out in heaven! What fantastic memories these bring. At 66 yrs old, I can remember most of these movies. Just think...the new generation should watch and respect their elders to be sure..don't they wish they could be as cool as their Grandparents & Great Grandparents were???!! Next time they knock the "Boomers"...just watch this and realize these people looked better than them, danced better than they ever could begin and they are the "Boomers" Grandparents here!!! GREAT VIDEO Thanks

[@brucestaples4510]

I totally agree! The editing and synchronization of song to movie is amazing...right down to hand claps and knee references ( "knee" is sung and dancers are either going down to or getting up from their knees). I can't dance for spit, but I sure do love watchin' folks that can do it well!

@@floppypoppylopyupasopymopy7015 - I too, sadly, have to agree...we just see too much of what you speak to. So much has been turned on its head. People scorn the very things that makes America beautiful, hopeful and appealing in exchange for doom and gloom, bad attitudes, self hate and everything Negative - it's all we see day in and day out and it's all very depressing.

This was just the movies, there wasn't quite so much class in the reality of making some of these movies.

[@auntymammalia9384]

@User Name One would like to think so, but, not so much, especially for actresses. I have to disagree about the good manners, thing, as well. Good manners were for the righteous and all the rest were curs. When movies and then tv came out, the vaudville business just went there. Up 'til then, vaudville was just a continuous on the road circuit, and ain't nothing classy or mannerly about that life. They put on a good show, though, for their righteously good customers, and that carried on into forties and fifties video.

The selection is a wonderful flashback to my early movie vewing years. The Donna Reed frame is genius. The technical achievement in this video is one of the best I have ever seen of these old movie dancers to modern music mashups. Amazing syncing of words/music matching. I binge watch these kinds of vids, with lots of stop action studying the form and the astonishing choreography of the dancers. Mind blowing really looking at some (all?) as still photos. Wow!

The work of searching the old movie / music / dance scenes to get these perfectly coordinated - well, it’s nothing less than brilliant!

[@newtonandrade7977]

Footloose is 2 movies the story is same but the cast is different I'm lucky to have both the DVDs and I never get tired of watching them

[@thunderanderson]

We are so lucky to live in this time

[@universalassociates6857]

If youtube gave awards for best videos in various categories, this video should be nominated. And all of the great achievements in film that you crafted together always be recognized and appreciated.

[@cindyp9857]

I love watching people dance together. These dancers are awesome and just wanting to express themselves while entertaining us.

[@amandaalgee2995]

The timing of “I’ll hit the ceiling” with Fred Astaire was pure magic!

[@oldfan1701]

You did an INCREDIBLE job with picking those scenes and placing them so they match the music perfectly.

[@poppykoch9085]

Genius editing - so good to see the golden age of Hollywood again that I grew to love because of my dear Mum and Dad wrapped up in a movie and music of my era!

[@telocity]

You all probably caught this right away. But 2nd time watching this I noticed a lot of video clips matched the words. Like "spin me round" guy spins girl around, "knees" clip of dancers on knees, guitar solo has clip of girl dancers looking like their fake playing a guitar. Just astonishing amount in details in making this video. Wow, thank you!

[@joubertp16]

And almost every second they seem exactly on time! Amazing.

[@rexcasperdog]

Just Watched it for about the 5th time in a week. Still amazed. I would pay a lot of money just to get a DVD Or Blue Ray disc to watch on my TV. Simply the best.

[@fatmasglobal]

Yeah it's so good.

[@cdjhyoung]

I've watch a lot of this kind of mash up. but this is by far the best composed, best executed one I've ever seen. I was really worried Gene Kelly was going to be missing, but no, there is was near the end. Mickey Rooney really could dance, he doesn't get enough credit for that talent. And the entro-outtro of the broken record was great.

Find out how to mirror your device on a tv. You should be able to put this up on your tv.

What an era we have been fortunate to live, I consider myself very lucky. Did a lot of dancing through the years. Thank you

[@lizacapinpin7904]

I loved the way these dance movies were put together with it's timely beat of FOOTLOOSE music 🎶🎶🕺🕺🕺💃💃💃. Amazing beautifully made. Made my day!🕺🕺🕺💃💃💃🎶🎶🎶

[@stevenspaziani9159]

They sure could dance back then and they all had a big smile on their face.

[@Laura-6887]

With lots of energy

[@joubertp16]

And moreover they ALL seem to be on time, which is very rare with those compilations because it is so difficult to synchronize so many different extracts. What a masterpiece !

[@池田和仁-c6d]

編集の天才や！楽しく視聴しました、ありがとう。

[@philp3512]

Love it!!! Other than every dance that Fred and Ginger ever performed on film, the Mambo from West Side Story is probably the best cinematic dance scene ever.

[@ROGER2095]

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, dance competition between the Pontapee brothers and the town's men before the barn raising.

[@User31452]

FABULOUS and one of the BEST montages I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And speaking as a dancer, maybe if more people danced, the world would be nicer place, because you just can't be mean when you feel the joy of dancing!

[@elisabethhopson5639]

Just sheer joy to watch. Love every one of these. It makes you want to dance with all our great movie stars. Thank you so much.

[@Kelly-nm4kw]

Hello Elizabeth, How are you doing?

[@shanewall9092]

Absolutely love this! Lately I’m becoming addicted to the old Hollywood movies which I never thought would happen. Currently obsessed with Joan Crawford - absolute Hollywood royalty! I watched Mildred Pierce last week, loved it.

[@robedmonds6540]

At times O'Connor, Astaire & Kelly look like they are not expending any effort in their dancing, they float. Incredible. Excellent work, many thanks.

[@markjames8603]

Dancers at the top of their game, as you see from my profile I hail from the Rockabilly scene, 30+ years ago my pal did a dance style called the Phantom, he literally looked like he was floating inches off the ground also he and a small group of friends developed a swing dance style that through their desire to get laid is now danced around the world! Like a rockabilly STD!!🤣

[@SHALAt22]

what?

[@markjames8603]

@@SHALAt22 I think nibirulives is also making a joke about how infectious a dance style can be

[@emiliokcalvillo]

So much energy it's unbelievable talent of all these people letting loose . The creativity it took to find and put together these scenes is beyond awesome and I thank you

[@petermalkia8088]

Brilliant! It is all to the beat! All kicks, swirls, hand claps, everything goes with the music! Best that I have seen!

The Gorgeous Diane Lane Owned this Song, and Hit it way out of the Park. It truely was Magical. I was 23 years old, living in the San Francisco Bay Area at the time this Ultra Classic movie came out. O'hh what a Epic time in America to be truely Alive.."To be young"! Sadly this generation has "Nothing" that could ever compare to this early 80's Era. The World has drastically changed, and not for the better. This Song, this movie, Diane Lane.."Tonight is what it means to be young". It sure was, and so much more. 👨👩💖💕

[@careyzink]

Great stuff. When I was a teenager I was too shy to get out on the dance floor and then came the song 'You Can't Sit Down', by the Dovells. And I couldn't. Sit down. My partner and I won a twist contest and that was all she wrote. I've loved to dance in public ever since.

[@ellenamontana1352]

This is pure genius! Every word in the song matched perfectly with the clips. Must have took forever to compose!

[@elvisfan2k740]

Whoever created this masterpiece is a GENIUS!!! Congratulations and thank you!!!

[@jakewolanski2641]

From a retired musician from the 60s, you really know your beat. Amazing to get this collection of stars dancing in near perfect rhythm to the music. The most entertaining KZbin video I've seen. I even caught a glimpse of my heartthrob, Marilyn Monroe.

[@elsiemontgomery5866]

I’ve see this numerous times and I never get tired of it.

[@pjesf]

What an ⚡️AMAZING⚡️collection of moves‼️ And my hat is off to every one of those choreographers who see all of this in their heads and then bring it to life for the rest of us👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lauragriffin6512]

Excellent job. The scenes are well matched to the song. Very nice! I wish all of the old actors could have seen their dancing put to modern music.

[@TheEnajyram]

I really enjoyed this, what an impression these dancing stars made on me. At 79 years old, their names instantly came to me, how can I spot June Alyson, Mitzi Gaynor, Gene Kelly, Jane Russell, etc instantly and not remember if I ate lunch today.? LOL

[@dannydunne6084]

How can anyone not "like" this? Absolutely superb!

[@radstorm]

I bet these pioneers could still step on a dance floor these days to modern music, and the crowd would still stop and watch them in awe :o)

[@angelasneed8006]

The old movies were the best ... Actors had Real talent back then and inspired positive messages ... ❤️

[@helenakatic1690]

I agree with you 100%😀😀😀

[@spaceghost8995]

Also a whole lot of whitewashed bullshit.

[@soilofk]

And all were white!

[@nancypatricia511]

@@spaceghost8995 Yes, this video is a reflection of history where there were a lot of white people on the big screen and very few people of color. You can point that out. But why? People are coming here to enjoy seeing people from the past dance to modern music. It is actually a unifying thing. Many people from the present have not been able to appreciate that the dancers from way back before their time were just as talented and interesting to watch as dancers in the present. It is not that black dancers are not represented here. They are amazing. If Michael Jackson, whom you would agree is believed to be the greatest dancer of the 20th century, learned from and appreciated the talents of Fred Astair and Cid Charice enough to pay tribute to them in his work, then you can enjoy this video with the rest of those who are here watching simply because it is a great piece of work.

The seamless editing, the impeccable timing, the incredible amount of work that it took to produce this short video is beyond measure. All done to put a HUGE smile onto humanities face. Absolutely brilliant. Can't thank you enough. With the world spinning around with it's head up its arse what a great way to say STOP - slow down, take the time to smell the roses. Appreciate life, give thanks to God and for crying out loud - Relax. Enjoy this moment in time. You deserve it. Kudos my friend, Kudos! Job well done!

[@rosellaporro519]

Amazing editing. This lifted my spirits. Thank you. I love all these films from which these clips were taken. These musicals , these talents were tremendous and unequaled. I so wish movies would bring joy instead of sci fi, ridiculous action films comprised of CG effects with no plot!!
