astaire and kelly

Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly are two of the greatest American dancers. They have many great performances and some have become iconic to American dance over time. Awhile ago I wondered if they ever danced together during their career. Interestingly enough they only danced together like twice. They weren't so much rivals but they respected each other and sort of stayed out of one another's way. I looked up the dance they did together-I think it was on some kind of variety show special. Here it is:

It's pretty fun to watch the two greats dance together. And then I found a couple other fun ones.

And then Fred Astiaire dancing on the ceiling

Such fun combos of dancing and film technology!
