The Thriller dance is cool!




Obviously Dirty Dancing Final Dance It's all about the lift!

and from Grease 2
Cool Rider
Let's Bowl
Reproduction (they don't really 'dance' but it is choreographed



Okay I saw a movie within the last year about a brother and sister who share an apartment and the two are so close that it screws up most of their relationships. I can't remember who was in it or what it was called so I can't find the clip (it was just an okay movie) but the film opened on the Bro/Sis dancing only when you watch it you don't know they are related they have such amazing chemistry that you think they are dating... anyway that was a great dance scene.

Love the Dirty Dancing finale ; I think it is my all time favorite

But Gene Kelly dancing in anything is quite memorable, and I love it when he is dancing with Jerry (the mouse) in Anchors Awayhttp://www.videosift.com/video/Gene-Kelly-Jerry-The-Worry-Song-1945

it's a bit lame but it cracks me up at the end of the movie The Replacements starring Keanu Reeves as a replacement football player during a player strike.  at the end the entire team dances the Electric Slide to  I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

I agree about the final dance scene in the movie "Footloose"

I also liked the first dance session that Baby attended in "Dirty Dancing"

I really liked the dancing scene in Boyz In The Hood when they were having the back yard barbecue

I really liked the dancing scene where Wesley Snipes gets down in "New Jack City"

Finally I liked the dance scene at the prom and the final dance scene in "Grease"


Oh yeah, forgot about "Saturday Night Fever"; That had alot of good dancie scenes.

the movie is Reckless starring Daryl Hannah & Aidan Quinn dancing at a High school dance. Aidan gets fed up with the slow dance song & changes it to the kick ass Never Say Never -- Romeo Void. He's got the classic early-mid 80's dance style down pat, totally spazz'ng & it's cool  8)    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkrzWjr99e0

"An American in Paris," with Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron and Cyd Charisse provide very memorable dance sequences. I can never take my eyes off of them when they start dancing. I also love the dance scenes during "West Side Story." I think those were choreographed by Jerome Robbins.
