Spectacular precision and even more complex leg variations with this earlier interpretation appropriated and redefined in Our Favorite Son.

What a FANTASTIC Clip! And those LEGS❣️🥰
What an outstanding Choreography!

[@BalletBabyBoy]

Absolutely FANTASTIC! I see where Tommy Tune got "Our favorite son" from in Will Rogers Follies. Can only imagine how many rehearsals it took to learn this.

Awesome love 💕 it

I wonder how many of girls in this film are still alive. If they live somewhere today, they must be over 110 years old!!

[@ron101346]

If any were still alive, I hope they won't wear those outfits when they visit!

I know you posted this comment 5 years ago - but these girls copied the same routine and are very much alive!

Amazing ... dancing in a chair ... ❤

I could have kept up with this routine for at least three seconds.

Ah the origin to the choreography to our favorite son

[@hawkmaster381]

Beautiful legs! Proof of God. That took planning.

[@richardhewitt1648]

Mesmerising. As a non dancer I do not know how they learn a routine like this. 🦘
