Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were spectacular! 🕺💃🔥

They were second to none! "I did everything Fred Astaire did, only backwards and in high heels." ~ Ginger Rogers

Shore.

🤣🕺💃

Amazing! Fred Astaire was a perfectionist and supposedly very hard to work with. 😉

Really? Well people at high levels are typically difficult people as well. 😂

Learning the steps is relatively the easy part, but its the way thats its danced is so very good. Great timing, great synchronicity, their bodies and souls so full of rhythm, they actual feel the music. Wonderful.

Astaire is the greatest dancer ever

Donald was my AA sponsor and those other people Gene and Debbie were over his house in the palisades, the place that had no water in their fire hydrants. So my favorite dancers would be these 3. This is the coolest people I ever got to know through.Donald O'Connor

He was so fluid!

So smooth

What happened to actors with actual talent like this?

@KathleenWinche3 Last of the REAL entertainers !!

Back when actors had skills and not political opinions

They always looked like they were having so much fun 🤩

Look at those moves 🕺💃🫶

And what is as equally stunning, is the choreography of the camera crane movements. Which were done without any form of video assist for the crane operators.

Eleanor Powell was great too. Gene Kelly could tap wearing old-fashioned roller skates . Bob Hope and George Burns were great too, and James Cagney also. Donald O’Connor as well. Love 30’s/40’s dancers!

Ha ha. I scrolled quickly past & at first I thought it was Don Knotts!

This is what real artistry looks like.

Love them much ❤️

My humble opinion , I thought Gene Kelly was better than Fred

love this one, they're havin' a blast! my fave is their 'dance lesson' from "Swing Time," (1936)... Ginger is Spectacular.

I wonder how long it took them to learn that routine?

Absolutely magnificent 😮‍💨🕺💃🫶

Yes they were!

Fred Astaire’s first screen test: Can’t act. Can’t sing. Can dance…a little. 🙄

@KathleenWinche3 classy if you can stomach a musical classic watch singing in the rain, funny, amazing, dancing, Debbie Reynolds married to Eddie Fisher, Carrie Fisher‘s mom who played Leah in Star Wars Donald OConnor speaks for himself And Gene Kelly, who initially thought dancing was sissy st 8

When entertainment was about talent! ❤️

"Bouncin' the Blues" is the best number in their only Technicolor film ("The Barkleys of Broadway"). Female lead was supposed to be Judy Garland, after the success of "Easter Parade," but she was on shaky emotional ground, so it ended up being the big reunion of Fred & Ginger.

They were brilliant together!

Gene Kelly danced. Astaire floated.

Ginger Rogers was also a great actress.

I do that everytime i go to beach after forgetting how hot the sand is. Joking aside that is some talent

They sure were. And those were such popular movie stars!

The best

It's not a great movie with the silly accents but the dances were nailed. Opening dance on first take
