Since movies began there has been some amazing singing and dancing going on. I love them and so I wanted to share with you some of the best movie dance scenes going all the way back to Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers!
In recent years they have made a lot of movies centered around this art, but for me some of the best moves are from the classics. So let?s take a look down through the years and see what stood out!
From the beginning of films actors and actresses have been showing off their quick moving and magical feet. One that stood out especially for me was ?Swing Time? made in 1936. The iconic couple of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers made us fall in love and want to be like them. I don?t know if anyone will ever be quite like them! Other great ones of the 30?s were ?Top Hat? and ?42nd Street.?
As we head to the next decade there weren?t as many to pick from for best movie dance scene, but there was one I liked. ?The Red Shoes? (1948) is a dramatic story of a ballet where a young girl must chose between dance or her man! Check it out!
In the 50?s, for me anyways, it was a no-brainer. ?Singing in the Rain? (1952) starring Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds was fun and the dancing and singing was amazing to watch. You don?t see those type of move anymore and it just looks so flowy and magical!
The next 10 years gave me personally two great movies where the actors prance about. One of my overall favorite movies is ?Mary Poppins? (1964) and the music, as well as the dances are awesome. Now there was also ?West Side Story? made in 1961 which will blow you away the way they move about.
The 70?s definitely had some innovative dance moves and the movies reflected that. The age of disco was alive in ?Saturday Night Fever? (1977). The lights and moves were entertaining and the cheese factor was hilarious! Another movie starring John Travolta was ?Grease? (1978) and who doesn?t love that one?!
Other than during the first days of movies, I think the 80?s had the best movies with amazing moves. And since I grew up in the decade they are special to me! I LOVE ?Dirty Dancing? (1987) and may have to call it my favorite dancing movie ever. But you can?t mention this time period without giving notice to ?Flashdance,? (1983) ?Footloose,? (1984) and ?Ferris Bueller?s Day Off? (1986).
Now into the 90?s! I would have to say I was most happy about the moves in Pulp Fiction (1994). John Travolta shows off his footwork again in a dance contest with actress Uma Thurman. It was definitely entertaining and had me tapping my foot! Also in ?Dance With Me? (1998) Vanessa Williams and Chayanne do a smoking hot dance and become the stars of the night club.
When it comes to the most recent decade I would have to say that I am actually not a big fan of the dancing films. I did watch Save the ?Last Dance? (2001) and enjoyed it, but I feel like the other ones that came after were just spinoffs. What about you? Did you like ?You Got Served? (2004) ?(500) Days of Summer? (2009) or ?Step It Up? (2009)?
Well, do any of those make you want to get on your feet and boogie? I recommend going to see any of the titles listed above that you haven?t seen to enjoy their fancy footwork. Which of these films, or others, do you think have the best movie dance scenes? Check out some other hot movies here and here. I would love to hear from you in the comment section below!
