Was it the greatest?

I had the "Top Hat" DVD on the other night and once again marveled at Fred and Ginger and their great routines.
Afterward, I wondered if there had ever been a better dance scene filmed than "Cheek to Cheek" in this movie. I know there have been numerous memorable moments in Astaire, as well as Gene Kelly, films.
But this dance, in particular, is one that stands for the ages.
Anyone else have a favorite?

dhene. Gene Kelly and Vera Ellen "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue ". Can be found on the film " Words and Music " Rogers and Hart music throughout. Also the dance scene from Carousel, towards the end of the film.

Polished, I will have to watch for those. You must have a video vault of dance routines and instructional videos? You recommend good stuff. When I am teaching a wedding couple their first dance, I often pick up on parts of routines I see in films or in competitions. It works quite well. But just the easier parts of the dance, of course.
