Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: those Oompa Loompa’s really knew how to do good cartwheels!
the tango in Scent of a Woman
So many dance movies so little space. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in Swing Time, Gene Kelly in Brigadoon and Xanadu with Olivia Newton John. Baryshnikov and Hines in White Nights. Truly awesome RENT, and My Fair Lady. Not to mention the animated features of Cinderella, Cats Can’t Dance, and Fantasia I and II! All time favorite has to be “A Chorus Line!” However, I could go on for pages and pages naming favorite scenes from a multitude of wonderful movies. Even Star Wars had a dance scene in the Catina!
My favorite would have to be step up, i didn’t realize how many different types of dance there were till i watched that movie. its the first movie i saw with channing tatum in it too and im a huge fan of him mainly from his character on step up. i love the story lines to how someone with nothing can accomplish there greatest dream if they work hard to, and anyone can fall in love no matter your background.
Dirty Dancing most definately!!!!!!!!!!!
Dirty Dancing!!!
Singin’ In The Rain, Donald O’Connor doing Make ‘Em Laugh.
Mary Poppins when they’re dancing on the roof tops….sorry….had to go “old school” lol. Even though this movie was made before I was born…it was a favorite when I was a child. You can’t beat the singing and dancing….great choreography
When Anna dances with the King in ‘The King and I’ any version, I love how he is so awkward but learns quickly and sweeps her off her feet!
Slow Dancing In The Big City
Loved Dirty Dancing
“Shall We Dance” with Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez.
Who knew Richard Gere could bust a move :).
The original Footloose with Kevin Bacon.
Foot Loose
FAME 1980 (original)
I loved Flashdance and the storyline about a female steelworker trying to make it big in the dance world by having the guts to try-out for entry into a prestigous dance academy,
DIRTY DANCING (BEAUTIFUL AND SMOOTH)…
Dirty Dancing for sure!
Footloose
Original “Footloose”!
Mary Poppins-Dick Van Dyke is fabulous.

Grease – because my daughter watched it so often – it brings back good memories
Seven Brides for Seven Brother’s; In my opinion it is one of the best musical’s ever made. Great visuals too.

footloose.It was a real underdog movie!
Shall we dance.
Dirty dancing
Coyote Ugly!
Not really a dance movie… but I like the dance routines at the end of all the Shrek movies. lol
dirty dancing, footloose, grease..
No contest, White Knights. The blending of two totally different dance styles into a beautiful dance scene is magic for me. I have to force myself to concentrate on either Mikhail Baryshnikov or Gregory Hines. I usually end up watching the main dance scene 5 times everytime I watch the movie.
Dirty Dancing :)
Mary poppins <3
