<p>This is a clearer version of that wonderful clip Mathmom posted of the Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers dance sequence from the movie Hellzapoppin’; it’s just the dance part, without the musical sequence that comes before it:</p>

<p>It’s really one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.</p>
<p>LOVE the Kurt Browning dance - what a great stage!</p>
<p>And talking about dancing while sitting:</p>

<p>I was a big fan of Will Rogers. Great clip. Beautiful timing.</p>
<p>That Hellzapoppin dance was out of this world. Amazing.</p>
<p>Thanks for both clips.</p>
<p>Amazing is right, Donna - how did they DO that? Fantastic.</p>
<p>I remember that number from “Will Rogers Follies” when it was performed on the Tony Awards years ago. What a showstopper. </p>
<p>Two more clips from Kurt Browing:
[Kurt</a> Browning “Brickhouse” 1997 - YouTube](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube) This is one of his signature numbers - “Brick House.” The clip is from his winning performance at the 97 World Professional Figure Skating Championships. He was somehow still doing the number in 2009!</p>
<p>This is a great one, too. The ending is priceless. [Kurt</a> Browning 2000 Ice Wars - Rag-GIDON-Time (Clown Number) - YouTube](<a href=“Kurt Browning 2000 Ice Wars - Rag-GIDON-Time (Clown Number) - YouTube”>Kurt Browning 2000 Ice Wars - Rag-GIDON-Time (Clown Number) - YouTube)</p>

<p>Happy 100th Birthday Gene Kelly</p>
<p>Thanks for the reminder, lololu. What a gift he was to us. He could even dance on roller skates: [Gene</a> Kelly tap dancing on roller skates - YouTube](<a href=“Gene Kelly tap dancing on roller skates - YouTube”>Gene Kelly tap dancing on roller skates - YouTube)</p>
<p>A few fun facts about him -</p>
<p>He had a degree in economics from the University of Pittsburgh.</p>
<p>He had a complicated relationship with Stanley Donen, with whom he started out in the chorus on Broadway and eventually co-directed “Singing in the Rain” and “On the Town.” How complicated? Well, Donen’s first wife (he had five) became Kelly’s second - that’s complicated. </p>
<p>Kelly was said to be fiercely competitive in all things, including charades! We miss you, Gene.</p>

<p>Note there is a tiny bit of nudity around 6:24 and 8:20.</p>
<p>Happy Birthday to Gene Kelly.</p>
<p>Tsdad, I like your videos. </p>
<p>Roy Scheider did a great job in All That Jazz.</p>
<p>I never saw that clog video so it was kind of cool.</p>
<p>I really like the clogging video. Everyone seems so happy. The girls are really adorable, and the older boys all look like Jerry Lee Lewis clones.</p>
<p>Nobody has videos to share? </p>
<p>What is wrong with you people? :)</p>
<p>I love Ana…my wife would be ok with it. lol</p>

<p>not crazy for the video------but the music is exquisite Ombra Mai Fu (Handel) mezzo: Cecilia Bartoli</p>
<p>You are right about the video, and right about the music. </p>
<p>Beautiful music.</p>
<p>Nice thread, dstark.</p>
<p>For the tap lovers among us:</p>
<p>[Too</a> Darn Hot - Ann Miller](<a href=“Too Darn Hot - YouTube”>Too Darn Hot - YouTube)</p>
<p>This is one of my favorite Olympic moments ever. Michelle Kwan had been favored to win gold in 1998, but was knocked down to silver, in what seemed like almost a fluke. Coming into 2002 as the 6-time American champ and 3-time world champ, she was heavily favored to finally win the elusive Olympic gold. But it wasn’t to be. This is her beautiful and heartbreaking exhibition skate, the next night. </p>
<p>It’s the best video quality I can find; there are several other videos with the American commentary. The crowd reaction speaks for itself in any language:</p>
<p>[Michelle</a> Kwan - Fields of Gold (2002)](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)</p>
<p>Michelle did not win a gold, but she is golden. Beautiful skater. Ten years since Salt Lake…hmmmm</p>
<p>My uncle was a huge fan of Ann Miller. I did not understand this at the time. 
Ann Miller is fantastic, but the way that dance was filmed was awful. Too many head shots. Let’s see more feet…and legs.</p>
<p>I can’t remeber if this was already posted, but I love this…so too bad. :)</p>
<p>Figure skating is too heartbreaking. My girls and I cried both times Michelle Kwan lost.</p>
<p>Best Ann Miller number ever (I think): [Prehistoric</a> Man - YouTube](<a href=“Prehistoric Man - YouTube”>Prehistoric Man - YouTube) She is probably the only woman in history who could have made that dress work. Great dancing. And I love the look Gene Kelly gives Frank Sinatra when Ann says “I really love bear skin.”</p>
<p>She worked well past the time other actresses from her era had retired. Remember her in the soup commercial? And she was in “Mulholland Falls,” too!</p>
<p>I forgot about that dance. Ann Miller was fantastic. And you can see her legs and feet. :)</p>
<p>I would love to see “the Ballet” from that movie. I can’t find it. </p>
<p>I like this. A little slower. Lol</p>
