Yeah that's where they kissed and made up, so to speak, but they only went on the one ride. I've been on that specific ride as Butler Amusements was still using it in the late 90's early 2000's. What are you talking about two ganga? That wasn't the major thing in the movie! The major thing is that Sandy with the help of her friends was able to show Danny that being in love was just as important as the falling in love! The end of the movie shows us that Danny has seen that even through it all Sandy showed up to his race. He letted in track just for her. And you get the feeling that they'll all live happily ever after.
I feel like you need another list. There are so many you missed that should have been included Center Stage, White Christmas, Burlesque, Save the Last Dance and many more.
The fact that Baryshnikov and Hines are at the bottom of your list is a travesty. I get that many people haven’t seen White Nights but the combined talent in that scene is one for the ages.
I’m sorry why is White Nights at the very bottom?! This dance scene is one of the most talented dance scenes in any movie I have ever seen. I know it might not be as iconic as Time of My Life, Singing In The Rain and others but seriously? That scene is like all those other dance scenes talent rolled up into one!
I love that The Barn Dance from Seven Brides For Seven Brothers is getting the love, the admiration and respect it rightfully deserves and Michael Kidd was one of the best choreographers of all time.
Major kudos to Gene Kelly for risking a feverous temperature to film the classic dancing under the streetlamp scene. If not for his perseverance, it might never have happened.
Interesting fact about that scene. While filming that scene in particular, it was noted that Kelly had 104 fever yet he decided to do that scene in one take because he wanted to get it just right despite having that fever of 104.
Billy Elliot really is such an inspirational, yet bittersweet story. I love that Elton John was inspired to write the songs for the musical, inspired by his own complex relationship with his dad.
Yeah...my only problem with the final Paso Doble in "Strictly Ballroom" is that they keep cutting away from it! But I love that movie...grossly underrated.
Nope, nope, nope….Baryshnikov and Hines in White Nights is one of the best dance performances ever!!! Yes there are some absolutely amazing dance clips in your compilation but this never deserved to be at the bottom of the list! As a dancer myself this scene in White Nights is one of my favourite dance scenes ever. Needless to say, I am a massive fan of any dance movie…from the 40’s to current! Any dance scene with Gene or Fred (with Ginger or without) is always phenomenal. Have to disagree also with your Footloose finale…Never was so much more technical and entertaining and is still (after 30+ years) one of my go to songs for dance along with songs from Flashdance, Fame, Cabaret, A Chorus Line and some more modern movies.
@@danamartinez7840 Scent of a Woman, for all its brilliance, wasn't a dance movie. Thus it didn't qualify for this segment. If they ever do the best dance scenes from non-dance movies, that one will have to be in there!!
As a former dance teacher this was a great trip down memory lane! Excellent list! My faves: "Rich Man's Frug" from Sweet Charity, "Broadway Melody/Gotta Dance" from Singin in the Rain, and "He's a Dream" from Flashdance.... oh... and "Cool" from West Side Story!
I agree with others that White Nights should be much closer to the top. Not only is the movie a nail-biting, great movie, but helloooo. BARYSHNIKOV?!! One of the best, if not the best, dancers in history. And Gregory Hines also was at the top of his game. Yes, I definitely enjoyed Grease, Footloose, and Dirty Dancing, but if you're focusing on dance, then focus on DANCE. And I highly recommend anyone reading this to somehow watch White Nights. Quite a thriller about a Russian defector who gets caught back in Russia and his subsequent second escape.
Baryshnikov in Turning Point, All that Jazz scene with Ann reinking and Joe’s daughter, the last dance of Center Stage, cafeteria scene from Fame, hard knock life from Annie (1982), the audition scene from A Chorus Line- Girl in Green.
I did the whole ending Footloose dance scene for a talent show at school in the 3rd grade in 1984. I choreographed it into a routine that incorporated the dance moves from all the characters into a one person dance myself. I got 1st place at the talent show!
OMG you missed almost all of my favorites: - The DTV audition finals in Girls Just Want to Have Fun - NUMEROUS scenes from CentreStage - The dance class, The scene from nutcracker, the final scene - the nightclub scene in Save the Last Dance - The Showcase scene from Honey - Numerous scenes from Work It - Dance Academy the Movie Plus a few on your list: - Step Up (the original) - Flashdance - Fame
Great selection! Another one I couldn't stop thinking about was Shirley Temple and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson tapping on the stairs in "The Little Colonel".
White knights should be higher then number 30 that dance scene is amazing footloose should have been number 1 Sasha Ramos and Danjus dance should have been number 2 I also think Kevins bar dance and magic Mikes it raining men should be on here
The Flashdance scene inspired me to get ankle warmers and tape my feet like her character did in another scene,. but my dancing was more like a drunken clown. XD
That they included Rocky Horror's Time Warp in this list... is perfect. It's probably the only dance on this list that most of us have tried to do; and the fact that we even made the attempt shows how influential it is.
I appreciate that Strictly Ballroom, Billy Elliott, Breakin’, and 7 Brides for 7 Brothers were all included as they would typically be overlooked movies when compared to the classics. My biggest issues with the list is I think Cell Block Tango should be in the top 10, Saturdays Night Fever should be in the bottom 10, and the fact that Center Stage’s last dance was not on the list at all. It should have taken the place of Black Swan at the least.
I remember the first time I watched Moulin Rouge. When El Tango Roxanne came on I was spell bound the entire scene. The dancers had such beautiful choreography and passionate and intense dancing it’s mind blowing. When the scene had ended I was left with tears streaming down my face and my mouth open in complete shock and adoration for the power, heartbreak, intensity and pure talent in the dance scene
I can think in a few Fred Astaire dance routines that are pretty spectacular. Puttin' On The Ritz from Blue Skies. Top Hat, White Tie and Tails from Top Hap. One for My Baby in The Sky is The Limit. Or maybe I Wont Dance from Roberta.
I know it's more modern, but "The Other Side" from 'The Greatest Showman' was a pretty good dance scene....and the bartender (and choreographer) did amazing in it too!!
Moulin rouge was so amazing to see in the theater. I highly recommend seeing Baz lurhman in the theater any time he releases one if you like dance and music.
Some incredible footage included above - I'll never forget some of those iconic dances - the finale in Step Up, Singing in the Rain, Cheek to Cheek, Strictly Ballroom, Dirty Dancing - etched in my memory for all time - brilliant! Just letting you know though - the particular version of Mein Herr from Cabaret that you have included above is performed by Liza Minelli and not Sally Bowles. Thanks for this compilation - love watching these old incredible performances!
Do the Right Thing: Rosie Perez’s powerful dancing during the opening credits The Wiz: After Dorothy defeated the Wicked Witch, the workers (or slaves) literally took the weight of the witch’s tyranny off their shoulders. Plus Micheal Jackson!
WOOHOO!! I AM SOOO GLAD YOU INCLUDED THE BARN DANCE!!! One of my favorite dance scenes of all time!❤ I love the Mary Poppins dance, my kids and I would always start dancing along with them. I do wish you included one of Vera Ellen's performances, especially the yellow dress dance from White Christmas, I think it was with John Brascia. Absolutely amazing, she was an incredible dancer!
I’ll always love the step in time seen from Mary Poppins, a scene from one of the greatest movies in cinema history, filled with special effects, dancing and overall sense of excitement and wonder an incredible moment you wish would never end and it just keeps on going and going and going and when it stops it just fades away
There are so many fabulous dance scenes that it's hard to mention them all. Fred Astaire did some amazing dance scenes in many of his movies. Thanks for sharing these wonderful dancers. ❤😊
I'd add the Modern Love dance from the Korean movie Swing Kids to the list. The expressions of a myriad of emotions from frustration to longing to joy & the way it's edited to cut between the two dancers.....it gets me every time. 👌 The whole movie is phenomenal, btw, with lots of excellent tap dancing.
From the list I’ve seen Black Swan, Strictly Ballroom, An American In Paris, Moulin Rouge, Cabaret The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Fame, Billy Elliot, Flashdance, well with Grease I missed one musical sequence, I’ve seen Mary Poppins, Footloose, Saturday Night Fever, Dirty Dancing, West Side Story and Singin In The Rain.
I can’t believe jump and jive was #16! I would have put it in the top 3. Also, in Flashdance the water dumping on her dance is more iconic than the final dance. You showed a lot of great performances but I don’t agree with your order or your choices. However, even if we expanded to 100 top dance scenes it would be too few.

The dance from Napolean Dynamite, and M3gan
@@ben-neon19 the Napoleon dance was so relatable. 😆❤️
The final dance of Vanessa Williams and Chaen from the movie "Dance with Me"!❤👍

A lot of things in this list is a travesty. Best dancing stuff is all the 80s dancing movies.
@@osculimso, all those 80’s movies are awesome!
@@signergirl1 exactly 80s were the decade for movies. No other era comes close.
Soooooo boring is why
Came here to say this!!!!! They were brilliant!!!!!

BIG MISTAKE!!
In the bottom??
wtf
This should have been at the top of the list! You left a lot of great dances out!!!!
Absolutely
The dancing in White Nights by the two lead dancers is my favorite! I love to watch M.B. ballet dance!
I love that The Barn Dance from Seven Brides For Seven Brothers is getting the love, the admiration and respect it rightfully deserves and Michael Kidd was one of the best choreographers of all time.
I love that The Nicholas Brothers and their phenomenal dance is getting the love, admiration and respect it rightfully deserves.
Agree about the Nicholas Brothers. But seeing a bunch of white swing dancers was BS when there is so much footage of iconic black swing dancers.
Major kudos to Gene Kelly for risking a feverous temperature to film the classic dancing under the streetlamp scene. If not for his perseverance, it might never have happened.
Gene Kelly in Singing in the ring is one of the greatest scene of movie history
II like the scene where O’Connor and Kelly are dancing in the speech coach office
Interesting fact about that scene. While filming that scene in particular, it was noted that Kelly had 104 fever yet he decided to do that scene in one take because he wanted to get it just right despite having that fever of 104.
That’s a fact! Amen!
How is Center Stage not included? The final dance scene is iconic!
🎉
Yes! I expected it to be in the top 10. They were actually ballet dancers in this movie and not actors with doubles doing the actual dancing.
I agree, that's one of the best dance movies there is
Absolutely i was waiting for it!
Billy Elliot really is such an inspirational, yet bittersweet story. I love that Elton John was inspired to write the songs for the musical, inspired by his own complex relationship with his dad.
Thanks for putting "Strictly Ballroom" into this segment. It's a great movie.
Alex's audition dance gives me chills everytime.
OMG’´´ Michael Baryshnikov is incredible!
❤ Absolutely
Michale
I love Gene Kelley! The dance he did with Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu was just awesome
I have watched it so many times.....I think I know it by heart! But just can't do it the way they do!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
One of my all time favorite movies!! It had AMAZING dance sequences! Can’t believe it didn’t make the list!😢
@@kimberlymacandog7616

You forgot The Dance of The Red Shoes and Gene Kelly dancing with Cid Charisse in Singing in the Rain. Iconic.
You can't have a Top 30 without 1) Hellzapoppin' 2) Every Little Step 3) Rize.
Dance scene from Scent of a Woman where they danced to Por Una Cabeza. One of my favorite dance scenes ever
I was looking for this one!! Unbelievable they didn't put it on the list
@@danamartinez7840 Scent of a Woman, for all its brilliance, wasn't a dance movie. Thus it didn't qualify for this segment.

No mention of Donald O’Connor, Make ‘Em Laugh from Singin in the Rain movie. He was outstanding
Ginger Rogers' gown during the Cheek to Cheek sequence is iconic. It was so beautiful and swirled around perfectly. I love that gown!
She designed it.

"Singin' in the Rain" is such a great film!

OMG you missed almost all of my favorites:
- The DTV audition finals in Girls Just Want to Have Fun
- NUMEROUS scenes from CentreStage - The dance class, The scene from nutcracker, the final scene
- the nightclub scene in Save the Last Dance
- The Showcase scene from Honey
- Numerous scenes from Work It
- Dance Academy the Movie
Plus a few on your list:
- Step Up (the original)
- Flashdance
- Fame
I like the dance scene on Napoleon dynamite the best.. ❤
Completely overlooked: the final showcase in Centre Stage. It was iconic and should've been included
Nobody puts Baby in a corner!
I think "make'm laugh" from Singing in the Rain should be on top
Great selection! Another one I couldn't stop thinking about was Shirley Temple and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson tapping on the stairs in "The Little Colonel".
Cinema's first interracial dance scene
Yes! That's a great one...even more impressive is she was so young.
I enjoyed several of the dance scenes from 'Burlesque' !!
Everything old is new again from All That Jazz has a special place in my heart...
White knights should be higher then number 30 that dance scene is amazing footloose should have been number 1 Sasha Ramos and Danjus dance should have been number 2 I also think Kevins bar dance and magic Mikes it raining men should be on here

Every dance scene in Tap was great (it even featured a young Savion Glover)!
I'm glad Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers aka Turbo is still being recognized for the iconic broom dance. Also RIP to Ozone.
Singing in the rain is the most iconic dance ever. I've actually sung in the rain; I nearly ruined a good suit, but it was worth it. 😊🎉
@tylergoodman3560 I loved the little easter egg they threw in Robots 2005 when Fender was singing.
@@Slayde.Wilson It's been ages since I've seen that movie; Thanks for the memory. 😊🎉
@@tylergoodman3560 your welcome
@@tylergoodman3560 Same here. It was one of my favorites as well. I bet if you watch it again. It will probably look different to you
White Nights was an amazing movie!
Oh my gosh! I can’t believe you included the barn dance! I loved seven brides for seven brothers!!
Fred Astaire dancing on the ceiling in Royal Wedding was groundbreaking.
I remember the first time I watched Moulin Rouge. When El Tango Roxanne came on I was spell bound the entire scene.

I liked most of the choices but no The King and I? Tsk tsk.
'Hair' the Movie -&- Jesus Christ Superstar are truly missed .. !
Legit started watching and went “Paso Doble” from strictly better be in here…. And there it was!!! Thank you!
Singing in the rain is a classic
White nights should be top 5. And nothing can compare to Singing in the Rain by Morecombe and Wise!
I can think in a few Fred Astaire dance routines that are pretty spectacular. Puttin' On The Ritz from Blue Skies. Top Hat, White Tie and Tails from Top Hap. One for My Baby in The Sky is The Limit. Or maybe I Wont Dance from Roberta.
The last dance from Save the Last Dance
Every scene from West Side Story, (the original) is impressive, I know is not a dance movie but still is impressive.
They may not be the greatest but they’re worth checking out. Elvis Presley dancing with Ann Margaret in viva las vegas and his dance in jailhouse rock
Good morning from Singing in the Rain is so good too.
I really loved this movie. John Travolta got the moves in Saturday Night Fever.
Where is the final dance from Center Stage? One of my all time favorites!
I know it's more modern, but "The Other Side" from 'The Greatest Showman' was a pretty good dance scene....and the bartender (and choreographer) did amazing in it too!!
I totally tried to master the choreography for Fame, Flashdance and Chorus Line.
Awww I was hoping be happy from summerstock would make it. I love judy garland in that one!
And where si final dance from "Center Stage"? It should be on your list
That's what I came to ask
"Ain't My Kind of Hype" literally turned me into a dancer. Mad respect for House Party.
How is White Nights at the bottom???!!!!
It's RICH MAN'S FRUG (FROOOG)
The Grease dance scene in the gym is much more iconic that the ending dance scene.
There's so many that you guys missed..
Save the Last Dance
Dance with me
Napoleon Dynamite.....😮
Strictly Ballroom is my love!
The lift in Dirty Dancing always gives me chills!

You forgot Save The Last Dance and Center Stage!
Staying Alive (1983) John Travolta, Cynthia Rhodes & Finola Hughes
Moulin Rouge & Singing in the Rain & male duo dancing together were great. What about West Side Story & Saturday Night Fever= 2 greats
Wonderful dance by Gene Kelly Singing ♥️ in the Rain. Brings back memories of the walks my family took through city blocks to visit relatives.😊
Ann Reinking! Always a queen.
I loved Danny and Sandy in Grease.
Nice list!
But what about staying alive...?
That Travolta is beyond great 😉
I was thinking the same!
Great pick for number one. Amazing selections that taught me earlier. Bob Fosse is my hero. You hit all the notes.
There are so many fabulous dance scenes that it's hard to mention them all. Fred Astaire did some amazing dance scenes in many of his movies. Thanks for sharing these wonderful dancers. ❤😊
Solid list. I like the Shake Your Tailfeather dance sequence from The Blues Brothers
I did a dance recital routine to that song as a kid, and our group got a standing ovation for it!!
WatchMojo needs to go back and watch Footloose. No ban was lifted. The kids had prom near town only.
White Knights, Flashdance and Tatum Channing no contest for the rest of whatever you got.
Jumping Jive should be much higher than 16.
Elvis dance in jailhouse deserve to be on the list too
Where the iconic dance from the movie "Pulp fiction"?
I'd add the Modern Love dance from the Korean movie Swing Kids to the list. The expressions of a myriad of emotions from frustration to longing to joy & the way it's edited to cut between the two dancers.....it gets me every time. 👌 The whole movie is phenomenal, btw, with lots of excellent tap dancing.
