Clearly no one there is familiar with Eleanor Powell's dancing. If you were, you would never have chosen "Hey Babe Hey". Not only is it the worst song Cole Porter ever wrote ( though The Ritz Roll and Rock is a close second), there is no real dancing( unless you think watching James Stewart attempting to tap dance is entertaining . It's not).

The Hula dance by Elenor Powell in 1939's "Honolulu" deserves a spot on any "best of" dance list. Her tap number with Gracie Allen was very entertaining. Astaire actually said that Powell was "the only female dancer who's talent intimidates me. She can pick 'em up and put 'em down as good as any man." Higher praise doesn't exist in that era.

Buddy Ebsen could be called an 'anachronism' because he danced like no other way back in the 30's and 40's. In later years, he excelled in Westerns like MGM's Northwest Passage TV series; From the dancing upload, it is apparent that James Stewart had two left feet. Hilarious in a word. Ginger & Fred were impeccable in 'Swing Time'. Vera Ellen in White Christmas. This dance sequence was fusion at its best with a little bit of ballet, soft-shoe, jazz and interpretative dancing all rolled into one. I wonder who Vera's partner was. He was superb. I loved his pant and matching shoes that helped to enhance his intricate foot-work. Ann Miller, that lady with the most gorgeous LEGS in Hollywood was electrifying in her dance numbers from Small Town Girl and Kiss Me Kate. I swear no other Hollywood actress had thighs and calves like our gorgeous Ann. Fred & Eleanor Powell to this day are unbeatable with their Begin the Beguine number from Broadway Melody of 1940. I mustn't forget to mention our sweet Debbie Raynolds, Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor with their Good morning number from Singing in the rain. Great and neat synchronized footwork. Those were the days and years with real champs!!!

@@LynneConnolly Lynne (if I may): I think we can avoid a nasty battle; after all, we’re both hysterics for tap dancing. I didn’t mean to imply that Astaire was second-rate, just that his roller-skate dance is not among his best outings. (My favorite Astaire/Rogers is Pick Yourself Up.) In the sub-genre of “tap dancing on roller skates” I know of only three entries: The Astaire/Rogers (oops to us both--it’s from Shall We Dance, not Top Hat), the Kelly (Always Fair Weather) and Donald O’Connor (I think it’s from a film called I Love Melvin and I’m guessing that he cheats with fake skates when the going gets rough). But it’s the Kelly that really takes the cake. We are so lucky to have films of all four of these dancing titans!--Andrew

Fun Fact: Animators for Jerry the Mouse in 'Anchors Away!' didn't realize until the sequence was finished that they hadn't put in Jerry's reflections on the floor to match Gene Kelly's, so they had to go back and add them. Fun Fact: The Nicholas Brothers' jump-splits are echoed by the Genie and Aladdin at the end of the live-action version of 'Friend Like Me'.

I would vote for Gregory Hines in The Cotton Club. Especially the dance hear the end that shifts back and forth with scenes of Dutch Shultz being gunned down. It is mesmerizing!

Ann Miller is so underrated - she was one of the great dancers of Hollywood’s heyday. And you are so condescending towards her, esp in the Small Town Girl sequence … “Miller had no one to feed off” she didn’t need anyone to feed off! Most of her really memorable numbers are solos- she didn’t need to be propped up by some man!

At 11:36, Ann Miller tap-dances very fast which is what she was known for. In an interview many years later she admitted that the tapping sound you heard from the screen during that dance was not done from when she was dancing on the screen. She said the floor was too slippery so that the sound you heard was dubbed in from her dancing on a different stage at a different time. She was known for the commercial for Campbells soup, where there were HUGE Soup cans which she tap-danced on top of. It was really something to see.

Cagney mentioned in his autobiography that he told them he could tap and then learned how after being offered the role.

He did say that, but it’s been refuted by many people that knew him.

Thank you for adding some fresh dances to the usual mix such as Eleanor Powell/James Stewart/& Cast in Hey Babe Hey from Born To Dance, Richard Gere's solo tap dance from Chicago, The Condos Brothers, and Julie Andrews/Mary Tyler Moore from Thoroughly Modern Millie (in the honorable mentions). As usual 30 dances are not enough--you will next have to go to 100.

The Jumpin Jive splits on teh stairs was a single scene because it was so strenuous. The rest is filmed in he usual way with multiple cameras and dollys and a bunch of takes. At one point you can see their direction marks and scuffs from previous takes on the floor.

Great choices of some rarely seen numbers well done I know movies have moved on from the all singing all dancing films. How many of todays actors would be able to keep up with these dancers.

Job well done. I would like to ask that you allow tap performance to speak for itself. You could have made 6 videos with you speaking of the performances in between. Tap is the dance everything else flows around.
