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.
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.👍
I think that it deserved a place in the list somewhere but, that performance is very uninspired. It is a very good nonsexual kind of example for the ages but, the black experience and that breakdancing bit was so essential to a movement that led to 1980s black experience and break dancing on the street. The hip-hop and straight experience is very real and underrepresented as far as dance choreography in modern media. Modern media did not represent black people. Hellsapoppon Is a far better dance than any of the big band boogie-woogie swing performances that I’ve ever seen. The sheer athleticism and tempo is incredible. I really wish that there had been more film recognition of non-European dance because I think the athleticism has been under rated as less then. Shirley Temple could do a good job of tap dancing for sure, but, a child and a grown ass manDefinitely deserved a place in their honorable mentions
@@erinmalone2669 I see your point but still think it's deserving merely due to the fact that Shirley Temple was only 6 years old(!) but able to hold her own while dancing alongside the great Bojangles Robinson. Also,besides being historically significant,it was an inspired dance number( Imo anyway) as well. I liked "Mary Poppins Returns" but feel it was inferior, both plot & dance number-wise to the original & that it's big dance number didn't merit a place on this list while this one did. 👍 P. S. Agree about Hellazapoppin though; now THAT'S how the Lindy Hop should be danced! 👌
@@ROBYNMARKOW Most definitely agree with you, both about Shirley and Bojangles AND Hellazapoppin. As a Lindy Hopper I can truly say that is one hell of a number!
[Reaches #2 in the countdown]
[Gets very nervous yet hopeful because *they* haven't been mentioned yet]
[Nibbles on fingernails through honorable mentions]
[Number one is revealed]
"YES! Yes! I *knew* it! Yaaaaay!" 😀🏆
Money from "Cabaret" (Liza Minelli & Joel Grey)
Stair Dance from "Little Colonel" (Shirley Temple & Bill "Bojangles" Robinson)
Yessss!
I'd argue any moving where Bill & Shirly dance!
My fave is Money Makes The World Go Around
Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey have the best chemistry in their roles and it is one of my fave duets
I was just going to mention this duet as well. 👍
I do agree Nicholas Brothers deserved the #1 spot.
#1 well deserved! I only saw it a few years ago and was pretty sure it was CGI! How could they be so in sync??? Omg!!
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.
Never been so tired from just watching a video. Hats off to these guys cause if I tried half these I would be in the ER with a broken everything. LOL
Jimmy Cagney as George M Cohan and Bob Hope as Eddie Foy in The 7 Little Foys..
I love love LOVE how many of these are tap dancing... not enough of these have been recent though. We need to step it up!
wow,, the second one blew my mind, holy hanna what energy.....
Liza Minelli and Joel Gray deserve an honorable mention for "Money" from Caberet
you couldn't be bothered to look up the names of the dancers in kiss me kate? they're actors keenan wynn and james whitmore. i think they do their own singing too.
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.
Donald and Gene were a dream cast.
Seeing Stormy Weather show up on these lists makes me love this channel even more
Shirley Temple and Bill “Bojangles” Robinson tapping up the stairs!
Emily and Lin are a fantastic double act, and I can't help but crack up everytime I hear their fab duet!
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.
My teacher : "why are you laughing?"
Me laughing because of what's inside my head : "Lin Manuel Miranda and Emily Blunt singing A Cover Is Not The Book" 😂😂😂
Haha, me too, great minds certainly think alike! 😂🤣
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.
I never realized what incredible dancer Donald O’Connor was until I started seeing clips like this.
He was absolutely outstanding... And definitely one of my favorites!
I love these non romantic dance duets and your channel is amazing!
Bob Hope and Jimmy Cagney in The Seven Little Foys.
I am glad the Greatest Showman is mentioned.
Me too. My grandson did a lip sync and dance for The Other Side for a talent show with another kid at school. I know how hard that one was for them to learn, let alone be anywhere near in sync.
I was hoping it would be mentioned.
😃
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.
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…
I just watched that clip a couple of hours ago! Never even heard of it previously.
"Moses Supposes" is my favorite dance sequence from any musical. It normally gets ignored on these types of lists. Thanks for including it here.
I would personally add something from Shirley Temple. They may not have been the most amazing overall, but considering her age, they were fantastic
Wow number 9 is so fuckin mind blowing, wish I could do two or three steps at least.
Should've been 20. Could've watched 50!!!!
You definitely got #1 correct!!
I think we need to have a part two on this!
Kelly and O’Conner are incomparable. Truly two Alph male dancers matched to a tee.
Dancers in movies these days : Look I kicked my leg up real high!
Dancers in movies back in the day : So How’d my 18 flips backflip split look?
I'm glad I'm not the only one underwhelmed by what passes for choreography today.
very very great epic fun list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever ❤ please do more videos like this one please 😊
Glad to see Fit As a Fiddle get some recognition
Emily Blunt and Lin Manuel at their finest
Long live the Queen Emily Blunt ❤️👑
110% on 1st place!
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.
Thank you!! I cannot believe this has been missed off many of their dance lists…
@@jaimesheehan6795 this was their absolute perfect time to mention it but they had to do two songs from Singin’ in the Rain. (Don’t get me started on their Judy Garland top 10… 3 songs from Meet Me In St. Louis??? OMG havE you seen all the MGM musicals like I have?!) Sorry … I digress.
Really missed the chance to finally spotlight Babbit & the Bromide. I’m so disappointed.
I could not agree more… Ziegfeld Follies is one of the most incredible movies full stop (I used Judy’s piece as a performance for 12th grade drama) but Fred and Gene are just a dream in their duet…
So disappointed more people don’t know about it
My personal favorite is "Ring-a-dem-Bells" in Funny Face!
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.
This was good.
Chicago Nowadays, hot honey rag” comes to mind. I never felt such girl power!!!
Zazz - the prom
I wish you would show these dance numbers in their entirety, they are too good to m;iss!
"Mandy" from White Christmas.
I can’t 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.
But if I recall none of them had a duet dance. The closest would be Tom Dick or Harry , but that was a quartet
Tommy Rall
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
The story of 'Broadway Melody of 1940' is about the competitiveness and mutual admiration of professional dancers, not a romance like Fred's with Ginger. BM40 ends with Astaire reconciled with his partner George Murphy and Eleanor between them, not with a Fred-Ellie clinch.
So I think it is reasonable to include the tap duet here, especially since it is a 'challenge' dance rather than a smoochy one. The two are competing, amicably but unmistakably.
Jolly Holiday from Marry Poppins.
The nicolas brothers were amazing
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?
hello Mary popins
Though short and almost a throwaway number in the movie “White Christmas”, the Abraham number is stellar and worth a mention!
Bop to the top. High school musical
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.
The answer to the question of "Whose got the pain" was Bob Fosse at that time also- he has nerve /disc damage in his back, and was in a lot of real pain, which he never showed while doing this dance.
@@bubblemum Thanks for the inside scoop. I was lucky enough to see Verdon, Rivera, and Orbach in Chicago. I was already a Fosse fan.
The first professional stage production I ever saw was "Pippin." I was in New York visiting my grandfather. Seeing Pippin turned out to be a pivotal moment in my life.
At that time I was a student at a prep school in New England. I was doing pretty well there even though it was a completely different world from my segregated public school in Birmingham, Alabama. I threw myself into taking advantage of all the school had to offer.
Before going to visit my grandfather, I had auditioned for a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. One of the other students trying out told me that I had no chance because there were no black people in England back then. One of my "friends" had advised me to take voice lessons offered at the school to get rid of "my raspy negro voice." I told my step-grandmother about this. She was really angry. She told me that I should go see this new musical.
I saw this black guy (Ben Vereen) in total control throughout the whole play. A play based on European history. Seeing him command that stage taught me to never believe anyone who told me that I couldn't do something.
The second thing that hypnotized me was the way Vereen moved. I had never seen dancing like that. It was sensual without being vulgar. It was meticulous, every gesture meant something. I was hooked.
I went through a phase where I tried to see (repeatedly) anything done by Fosse. I am convinced that he is one of the most underrated dancers ever to perform on stage or in movies.
Ben Vereen has been my personal hero ever since then. And, I got to choreograph a few musicals in prep school and college. Fosse's style was my inspiration.
I
@@bubblemum One more thing. It seems like a lot of talented artists' difficulty with substances can be traced to prescription pain medication.
I am not sure, but I think part of the problem back then was the way studios/record companies/producers treated talent.
"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.
I love that song. I sing it all the time and my kids (and now my grandkids) know it. If anybody happens to say "I know what you're thinking" or "if you could see it through my eyes" my family knows that I will go into this song immediately and not stop until it's completed.
Wow
I would have been crying fowl if you'd picked any other duet for number one.
Quack quack
@@yippee8570 Ya got me!
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.

#9 is AMAZING!!!! Is it a duet, though?
Yeah… feels more like a group number. It’s several “duets,” I guess. Still a group number.
I thought the same thing, but then I'd never seen it before so I'm glad it got mentioned because now I have to check it out.
Thank you for including some African American dancers in this Top 10. Too often, these compilations (not just on your channel) feature all white performers.
Hello, Arlene! Just a suggestion - you may want to change the word "complications" to "compilations".
Everything Old Is New Again is the best dance number in ATJ and one of Fosses’s best movie numbers
What about the Sisters number from White Christmas?
Friendship from anything goes
All very amazing but I just think about how they were all on speed....... they'd have to be.
You should’ve added mungojerrie and rumpleteazer
Would u mind post top 10 looks at 2021 mtv video music awards new lists from MTV awards

I vote for Constatine & #2 - Muppets Most Wanted.
You forgot Shirley Temple and her wonderful dances with Bill Robinson
For me nothing beats Crazy for You Who Could Ask for Anything More? I get tired just watching that in the theater
Someone is intrigued with Bob Fosse
Really" A cover is the book" only gets an honorable mention?!
Walk down the avenue from Easter parade
Regarding the honorable mentions: taking shots counts as dancing..?
Umm where is original Mary Poppins ?
not me waiting for sharpay and ryans I want it all to show up on here
How in the hell did a video this random become recommended to me??? 😂😂😂
Eleanor Powell didn't easily rival Fred Astaire - she outshone him effortlessly
Donald O`Connor began his career in vaudeville.
so basically bob fosse everything
How is the other side not even a number? It was one of the scenes that made me love the Greatest Showman so much and the whole Choreography was a masterpiece
What about:
.Zazz (from the Prom)
.I'm Number One (Muppets Most Wanted)
.Me Party (The Muppets)
.Bop to the Top (High School Musical)
.I Want It All (High School Musical 3: Senior Year)
Please make a list of Broppy moments, please make a list of Broppy moments, please make a list of Broppy moments, please make a list of Broppy moments...
This is an oddly specific list topic…
👶💟💖💌💌💌❤❤
No Shirley Temple?
The ninth spot deserved the first spot and spot eight didn’t deserve to be here at all.
Introducing the numbers is one thing. Blabbing right through them is another. I'm out of here!
I feel this list is a bit dated isn't it the best one to me was the honorable mentioned and hairspray welcome to the 60 was no where
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.
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.
Her job in this number was to be funny, not feminine. Watch the entire movie and you’ll see she was quite capable of oozing sexuality, which I assume is what you mean by feminine. Frankly, I’ve never considered tap a feminine dance form
@@merrymartin3335 Many if not all of the female dancers who made it had to mime the male. I love Gwen. Saw her live on Broadway!! Love her work in `Damn Yankees` and think it was a Hollywood shame for years that she had to do backup for Marilyn Monroe and others as Jack Cole`s dance assistant. Still say women who make it mime the male (often gay)
