Your favorite movie dance scene . . . .

[Anonymous]

Inspired by the great soundtrack thread, here's one of my favorite movie dance scenes from Palm Springs. The choreography and the interaction between Cristin Milioti and Andy Samberg are perfection.

Other than Dirty Dancing, I could watch this on a loop - it gets better and better!

The best performance dance scene (so just a straight performance, not part of the plot) is the Nicholas Brothers doing the Jumpin Jive scene from Stormy Weather. The bit where they jump over each other into splits on the stairs is completely insane.

For a number that is part of the plot, I personally have to go with "Cool" from the 1961 West Side Story.

There are way, way too many to list. Pretty much any Fred Astaire solo, the finale of An American in Paris, Make Em Laugh from Singing In The Rain, Cell Block Tango from Chicago, I'm Just Ken is hilarious choreography.

And don't forget Bollywood classics like Chaiya Chaiya (the one on the train).

Thank you for posting the Nicholas Brothers link! Amazing. Read too just now that “Fred Astaire famously called the Nicholas Brothers' "Jumpin' Jive" dance number in the movie Stormy Weather (1943) "the greatest movie musical sequence he had ever seen" and "the greatest dance number ever filmed". I am so glad I have now seen this!!!!

Supposedly this was improvised and not supposed to be in the movie.

"The story has been passed around for decades, but as the tale goes, the two were just warming up before filming. However, director Emile Ardolino was so enamored with the playfulness of the crawl that he incorporated it into the final film. And thank the cinema gods that he did, because it's one of the greatest examples of on-screen chemistry ever captured."
