Movies: Dance Scenes In Movies That Took Your Breath Away...

[ORRFForever]

While watching Mektoub, My Love, my breath was taken away watching Lou Luttiau dance. It made me think of other movies where someone's dancing made me gasp for air...

My Top 3 :

1) Michelle Pfeiffer on top of the piano singing Making Whoopie during the Fabulous Baker Boys.

2) Lou Luttiau in Mektoub, My Love.

3) Amy Adams in American Hustle.

Honourable Mention :

Anna Paquin in 25th Hour.

That final Black Swan dance is mesmerizing.

There are actually quite a few, but more in older movies. Astaire and Rogers tapdancing is incredible. Gene Kelly, the chimneysweeps in Mary Poppins, White Nights, One from A Chorus Line to name a few. Marika Rökk had a couple of great dance scenes as well.

-The end of the Jackass movie (three I think) when they all had the top hat and canes. It was an idea I had with my friends for years if we ever got to make a movie and they pretty much did it.

-I love the satire dance they did in Blazing Saddles for the Deluise production. I know it was brief but it was effective.

-And while it's not a movie but TV, anytime they used dance on Legion whether the Bollywood scene in season one or the club battle at the begging of season two. WTF?!

I am in no way a musical or dance theme movie watcher.

But even I couldn't resist watching That's Entertainment.
Well worth checking out if that's your thing.

That's Entertainment! (1974) - IMDb

First one that comes to mind featuring the Nicholas Brothers


As adult I appreciate this scene and the era of musical films from then (Didn't care for them as kid or teen)


As a kid of course I loved this and wanted to do it like I imagine everyone who saw movie wanted to do as well

Astaire and Kelly and turn out the lights.

Elvis has a great dance scene in Jailhouse Rock. Talk about charisma--he is on a stage with over a dozen professional dancers but all eyes stay on him.

Even as a straight guy, Channing Tatum was amazing in Magic Mike - it was hard not to watch and think, "Wow! I wish I was him".

He was also terrific in Step Up and, briefly, in Step Up 2.
