Lindy Laura Swingin' Kitten Posts: 0	Who's your favourite dancer? I thought this might be a good one- there seems to be so many out there so give me feedback! I think that gene kelly's great (an obvious choice though me thinks).

TMBC Posts: 1	Re: Who's your favourite dancer? "Musclehead" Frankie Manning. He was just plain GONE. Other include Kelly and Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Jean Veloz, Ann Miller, Cyd Charisse, Donald O'Connor, Ray Bolger (his deleted scenes from the Wizard of Oz are amazing), Dean Collins, Cab Calloway, Jimmy Cagney, The Nicholas Brothers (tap like you've never seen)...and Lee Press-On, perhaps the finest break-dancing swing band leader alive.

lindydivaus Posts: 11	Re: Who's your favourite dancer? Exactly! And I got to dance with him a few years ago. Yes, I have pictures. Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Christopher Walken (I kid you not. The man is a hoofer par excellance!), Buddy Ebson, Eleanor Powell, Cesar Romero (check out his dance scenes...there's a particular one with Sonia Henie I love, also he dances with Betty Grable in "Springtime in the Rockies")... And many more!

fume hood Posts: 4294967295	Re: Who's your favourite dancer? All lady members of the Carolina Shag Hall of Fame. I study those tapes endlessly. Jackie McGee, Lila Munn, Ellen Taylor, Weezie Carr and many whose names I don't even know. I just memorize their steps.

Miss Bunnypenny Posts: 0	Re: Who's your favourite dancer? My favourites would have to be Fred and Ginger (of course) and without doubt, I wish I could tap like Eleanor Powell - I wish I could tap! Her hula dance in Honolulu was fab!

[snapback]41997[/snapback] I just finished re-reading their biography, "Brothers in Rhythm". Fayard (the elder) is still with us! He'll be 89 on October 20, 2005. Harold died in 2000, sad to say.

I'm so used to doing it, that I have a hard time dancing with other people now.
