Wow! As for the movies, impressive cane work, dancing down stairs without breaking their neck, and moonwalking down stairs. As for the video, someone has seen a *lot* of the dance genre of movies. What, no 'Flashdance' or 'West Side Story'?
Thanks for sharing that. Absolutely perfect way to illustrate how great the talent used to be... and still is in some cases. Really enjoyed that. Mahalo
Ah, I've watched this so many times I've lost count! Fantastic job putting that together. I think I have on DVD always every film shown in the video. Grand stuff. I appreciate that there are quite a few clips of my favorite dancer in the the video, Eleanor Powell, one of the greatest tap dancers I've seen. And the three Berry Brothers are amazing, my God those splits, it hurts just to watch!
Saw Eleanor Powell in a couple of these clips. When I discovered all the great movies from the 1930s and 1940s, while in college, Eleanor popped up in a lot of movies that I saw on the UHF channel showing afternoon movies. She was a great dancer. Unfortunately, it's a name you never hear anymore.
Uptown Funk seems to be a staple at wedding dances these days. I've dance to it many times...but NEVER like this! WOW! Makes me want to run out and see all these old films again. And again.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant!!!! I don't know how he did this but I do believe it took a lot of work on his part? Beautifully done!
