Outstanding. The only thing that could make it better is going with a top 20. I love anything to do with musicals; Gene Kelly has long been my favorite, so it was very cool that he and Donald O'Connor got two nods. The Nicolas Brothers were totally brilliant, and that number definitely deserved the top spot.

I'm certainly not a dancer & barely know my left foot from my right. What always makes me gasp in amazement is when dancers just stop in mid-air. I'd love to know how the dancers seem to defy gravity. They remain, stalled in mid-air, like dancing Marionettes whose strings give them the power over gravity.

I don't know that 'Begin the Beguine' counts, since Astaire and Powell were playing a romantic couple? For Astaire, you might try 'How can you believe me when I say I love you' with Jane Powell from ROYAL WEDDING - sort of romantic lyrics, but bitter, and the characters they played were brother and sister

Fosse was sensational at choreography and a great dancer. But next to Tommy Rall. no, it's no contest. Tommy all the way! If you look at Tommy's portfolio of work, it is absolutely amazing. In fact Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire both commented how amazing Tommy was and called him one of the absolute best.

One of the reasons these scenes are so spectacular is that they were danced with virtually no editing. I cannot bear the chopped up editing that is found in movies and TVs today. Except for not including Shirley Temple and Bill Robinson I agree with all of your other picks.

I cannot believe you had the chance to showcase the only scripted movie musical dance duet between Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, The Babbit and the Bromide from Ziegfeld Follies, and you completely blew it. Not even an HM? Truly a missed opportunity.

I'm so glad you included the Alley Dance in this. I was just thinking about that scene today for some reason. Since it's from such an obscure and underappreciated musical, I'm glad that you recognized how great that number is.

Amazing. It seems like all the good ones are from the past but the White Nights duet Prove me Wrong is one of the most fantastic dance duets in the last thirty years. I wish someone would duplicate it. Could it be duplicated?

I believe that Who's got the pain works because of the inside joke. Verdon and Fosse were married at the time (I think. Although there was nothing romantic about the dance, it works because of how well they worked together.

Love these picks but Shirley Temple dancing w/Bill Bojangles Robinson in The Little Colonel should've been picked not only for the great dancing but the fact that it was the 1st integrated dance routine ever done on film.

Fosse and Verdon. what exactly is wrong with Hollywood musicals. SHE looks like mirror image of HIM. Two gay guys! At least when MacLaine does Verdon or Verdon doing Fosse she imbues it with a certain femininity.

Please look up the Ziegfeld Follies Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire worked together one time, in this movie doing a number called the Babbit and the Bromide it rivals many of the numbers on this list

The second clip, I would have lasted about 2 seconds. I think that is one of the most amazing dance scenes ever. The speed, the moves, and maintaining the synchronization with all the dancers.

I cant believe that with both Tommy Dahl and Bob Fosse in Kiss Me Kate, not to mention, Anne Miller, you only picked Brush Up Your Shakespeare and made it an honorable mention.

9 out of 10 are the most perfect choices. Not sure what I'd replace that Chicago number with though. Maybe Money Makes The World Go Around from Cabaret.

I would personally add something from Shirley Temple. They may not have been the most amazing overall, but considering her age, they were fantastic

The dance from Damn Yankees reminded me of the GREAT dance routine in Pajama Game called Steam Heat! The shortened Chicago clip didn't do it here.

Moses Supposes is my favorite dance sequence from any musical. It normally gets ignored on these types of lists. Thanks for including it here.

Why did you feel you had to tack on the more recent movie entries? Mary Poppins Returns? The more recent ones are just pretentious trash.

If You Could See Her Through My Eyes from Cabaret: Joel Grey and a ballerina in a gorilla suit. The last line of the song is killer.
