Fred is who made me first want to take dancing lessons when I was 4. My grandmother tried to teach me very basic dance techniques in my mom’s house and once she thought I had some potential, she started paying for my ballet and tap classes. I’m 36 now and still making the majority of my living off dancing lol Thank you Fred ❤

[@foofookachoo1136]

Good for u!!!

[@Tally-vision]

and Grandma ❤

[@merryworld4776]

That is very cool! Good on ya! I love dance.. started tap at 3 & ballet at 5 until 10 years of age. Stopped when my mom became ill.. she was my classes scheduler, coordinator & chauffeur. It was not a priority then I suppose. I'm nearly 70 now but once a dancer, always a dancer. 💃💃💃❤

My Mom was a Rita Hayworth look-a-like. She and my Dad (a Naval Officer who survived Pearl Harbor) married in May 1942 after 2 months of “courting”. (There was a war on, you know). They are both gone now but this little clip reminded me of their times. She loved these old classic movies! Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻

[@LendallPitts]

My story is somewhat similar, except my mother was actually a dancing girls in several of the Ginger Rogers/Fred Astaire movies. Odd things is my father gave Ginger Rogers her start in show business as a singer in his jazz band in Texas.

Better than Ginger?

[@kristireynolds5234]

​@@user-mc5ch1rs4dactually, yeah. Ginger was a better actress than dancer, but they had great chemistry together which sold tickets, obviously she could dance as well, but Rita was a trained dancer since she was young and before ever acting. I believe he said she was his favorite and the most fun to dance with, and he danced with a few other incredible trained dancers

[@franciscagarciagarcia9857]

Si,yo también leí eso, y que Rita aprendía rápidamente los pasos,era buena actriz,buena bailarina y también muy guapa y atractiva.

RITA vino Argentina, ya estaba enferma, tendria 60 años y después la cuido su hija q tuvo con el Cha de Persia. Hasta q falleció. De Fréd no se nada. Solo se q las chicas se quedaban porque les ostentan las piernas, y las tenían llenas de hematomas, tenían q maquillarles las piernas. Cid Charisse era la más hermosa, pero era muy alta, y tenia las piernas más hermosas de Holliwood, fueron las más cotizadas de todos los tiempos.

She was underrated as a dancer and should have done far more dancing on screen. She was excellent and unlike others, what makes her good on screen, is that she didn’t look like she was trying.

[@patrickhenry2845]

Fred Astaire considered Cyd Charisse his greatest dance partner.

[@hollygolightly8048]

@@patrickhenry2845I’d like to know who considered Fred Astaire a great dance partner. So much focus on him when Eleanor Powell, Cyd Charisse, etc. were as talented, if not more so. Wonder if ol’ Fred could have danced in high heels the way those ladies did.

[@patrickhenry2845]

@hollygolightly8048 Fred Astaire had a sister named Adele. They were dance partners for entertainment beginning around the year 1917. She was considered a better dancer than Ginger Rodgers and her brother Fred. They went to England to entertain and knocked the British out of their seats with their dancing routines. Adele met a man who was a Royal there. They fell in love, married, and moved into living quarters in a Castle. That ended the brother/sister Duo. Cyd Charisse danced with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. There was no woman in Hollywood who could dance as sensuous and artistic as Cyd Charisse. I can see why Fred said she was his best dancing partner in Hollywood. Eleanor Powell and Rita Hayworth have to be in the mix, too. Unfortunately, there are no film clips of Fred and Adele dancing together.

[@Hays1423]

Eleanor Powell was his favorite, although he respected all his partners

[@gulmerton2758]

Had I been born in that era, I would have spent my life in movie theaters to watch the great movies with the great actors and dancers Hollywood used to produce. Nowadays….. nobody and no film are worth the price of the entry.

All these rhythms are taken from African culture, but again I truly don't want to take away the added style and grace Fred Astaire and others brought to it. They gave their added gift to the culture and that's what God is saying you teach one to teach another 💖💖💖🎉🎉🎉🙌🙌🌹🌹🌹

In an interview late in his life Fred Astaire finally answered the question he avoided his entire career. "Of all the leading lady dancers you performed with, who was your favorite?" Everyone assumed it would be Ginger Rogers. But without hesitation he said "Rita Hayworth". He went on to explain that with her it wasn't a job it was like breathing, she was such a natural and took so much joy in dancing. It's a shame they only made two films together.
