Dancing with your dog should be in the Olympics. These two could have won the gold medal.

As a kid I was in a group tap-dancing in shows. I've always loved it. Drove my mom crazy tap-dancing on the sub-floor in the basement. It's a lost art.

Feats of precision, athleticism, and coordination like this are seldomly seen in movies today. Young audiences would have their minds blown.

Movies today get 3-second cuts. This artistry doesn't exist anymore, sadly.

Kudos to TCM for including Eleanor Powell in this year's Summer Under The Stars and introducing a whole new audience to this gifted woman. I myself knew very little about her until watching her this summer. AMAZING dancer and a truly beautiful & charming lady. The dog in this clip is just too adorable ❤

It was absolutely amazing! I think the dog should also garner a tile on the Walk of Fame.

Absolutely adorable! Super dancing from Eleanor--who always makes it look so easy--and her dancing partner Buttons. Eat your heart out Simon Cowell. Now I see where all the dog acts on BGT and AGT got their routines.

I love this clip. I don't know who trained the dog (it's a Parson Jack Russell Terrier) but they did a magnificent job.

@juliag.5114 3 ай бұрын

Eleanor trained the dog herself!

@koshersalaami 3 ай бұрын

@@juliag.5114 I verified that. The training may be even more impressive than the dance, and the fact that it was done by a dancer rather than by a professional trainer is incredible.

Eleanor Powell was magnificent, but the dog was phenomenally trained. The "don't work with kids and don't with animals didn't apply here, it seems." I had a dog 25 years ago who was absolutely brilliant but would only do a trick if he felt like it. Even a treat couldn't convince him...

Looks like a Jack Russell which can be temperamental 😂

@SarahRenz59 3 ай бұрын

According to the video description, the studio couldn't find a dog who could do the required tricks so Eleanor Powell got the dog and TRAINED HIM HERSELF. Amazing!

@joyceadams5765 3 ай бұрын

@juliag.5114 3 ай бұрын

MGM couldn't find a properly trained dog for this sequence, so Eleanor Powell bought Buttons from a prop man and trained him herself. This scene was shot in her own living room because it was where the dog was used to doing all the tricks.

Eleanor Powell is absolutely amazing! And Buttons the Dog is so cute! I wonder if Buttons was a beagle? It wouldn't surprise me a bit though because beagles are so smart!

@LLewis-vu9qf 3 ай бұрын

No, that's not a beagle. It appears to be either a Jack Russell or a Parson Russell terrier. It could be a Russell cross with something else, definitely a terrier though.

LOL true, buts its not like they gave a shit about animal treatment in movies back in 1941 😂 she could of been dancing like that and kicking the dog nonstop and no one would care lol

@LLewis-vu9qf 3 ай бұрын

@@SpoobyMUFC-- Eleanor would care. The dog was in the wrong place twice: her pantaloons hit his face during a spin; she almost hit him as he passed behind the couch while she vaulted over it. Accidents do happen and thankfully all was well in the end. That was a pretty impressive leap by Buttons as she caught him.
