Baker became a big star in Paris and later became the first black woman to star in a major motion picture. She was a wonderful dancer. something he also showed to a great extent in Princess Tam Tam from 1935, but today we want to highlight his brilliant

solo

performance in Zuzu in the film Baker performs a kind of partner dance, but with his Shadow instead of another person, his incredible flexibility and agility bring a sense of joy and playfulness to the dance, making it a pleasure to watch, thank you number nine, if only my friends could see me now, sweet charity, all I can say is wow, let's look where I am tonight.

I landed, man, right in a jam jar, what? a sacred cow ensemble If there's one thing we remember Bob Fosse for it's his strangely angular and completely fascinating choreography, while there are plenty of Ensemble numbers on Sweet Charity that demonstrate his movement design prowess, it's a smaller number the one that has us absolutely captivated. I would never believe it, I would never believe it, but I would never believe it if my friends could see me now. Shirley MacLaine dances raggedly around the room. There's plenty of knees, hips and elbows as Fosse requires McLean's sense of levity combined with Fosse's.

The expert direction creates a solo performance for all ages. Hey girls, look, it's me, charity number eight. Miss Turnstiles, ballet in the city. If there is a

classic

al Hollywood dancer, we wish God a little more of her. I'm Vera Ellen, yes, you with her sharp movements and her flamboyant personality. and a million watt smile, she was one of the best, she proved it tenfold during her lost turnstiles, she dances around town while Gene Kelly gives her an illustrious introduction via voiceover. Vera Ellen dances through numerous settings and genres, she is a fragile flower. like a creature, an older child, what an athlete, while there are a few other participants in this routine, the way she makes this a solo feat is undeniable, from ballet to arts, soccer to sprinting .

Miss Tourniquets can do it all, wow what a girl, hey cut that. Well, come on, let's go to number seven. I have to listen to that village girl. I guess you could argue that Ann Miller isn't dancing alone here considering disembodied hands playing instruments make good dance partners. Miller, a small-town girl, plays a Broadway diva named Lisa during the unique performance of I Gotta Hear That Rhythm. She begins on stage alone, bathed in a spotlight. As the music speeds up, she begins to hit the stage at breakneck speed. heart, then the camera pulls back a little bit so you can see that she's actually dancing through the band, the band of hands, so to speak, this is such an innovative dance and one that Miller performs perfectly, number six, I I stay with Tallulah Ship Ahoy Ship Ahoy has one of the most inventive plots of the musical genre of the 1940s, it stars Eleanor Powell as Tallulah, a dancer who works as a smuggler on a cruise ship while believing she is working for the United States, the audience learns that she has actually been recruited by the U-M Nazis, yes, you.

She heard us right, it's definitely a strange plot twist for a musical comedy, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have some good moments from her in one of the best dance numbers in the movie. Powell shows us all how she really was one of the best. Recorded responses of her time, she is soft and powerful, but she manages to inject light humor. Wherever you go, thank you number five, a change of clothes. Silk Stockings said that Charisse was one of the most captivating dancers to ever grace the silver screen through numerous partner dances with the likes of Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, she won our hearts time and time again, they are also worthy of immense praise for her solo outings, including one in silk stockings, but she draws you in and obviously there must be scientific reasons, oh there are reasons, but they have nothing to do with it. that she has to do with electromagnets Cherise played a Soviet agent who falls in love with dancing and also with Astaire Steve Canfield.

In one scene, she begins to lightly dance around her room as she changes from her drab government-issued clothes into a beautiful dress. Charisse doesn't speak. but she doesn't have to, she imbues every movement with life and happiness telling us so many things without saying a word foreign number four too hot Kiss Me Kate and Miller started when she was just a teenager performing a brave solo Dance In Radio City Rebels, however, As she matured as an artist, her talent only grew brighter from a sensual beginning. Miller gradually turns up the heat in this number with smoke practically billowing out from under her furiously slapping shoes moving around the apartment like nightclub performer Lois Miller.

He is all dazzling charisma and sizzling rhythm no corner of the stage remains untouched by his virtuoso dancing and even during his brief cool down his feet maintain their dizzying rhythm out of frame in the end we all have a fever and the only cure is Moore and Miller the foreign number three Lola Wants Damn Yankees with the 2019 series Fosse verden Musical star Gwen Verden has had a bit of a resurgence in popularity lately, that's just as well because Verden with her unique approach to dance deserves all the hype she can get. She gets a little bit of brains, a little bit of talent with an emphasis on the ladder, one of our favorite green performances of hers came in 1958 where she played the devil's right hand man in Damn Yankees.

Lola is such a lively and sensual character that Virden brings to life in the number Which. Lola wants, so far waits, that's you, huh, that signature Fosse choreography with all the sharpness and weirdness it implies makes this seduction all the strange burden it undertakes and delivered a performance that absolutely went down in history. It was always what I was looking for and your heart and your soul is what I came for fascinating number two The rhythm lady, be good when it comes to being cool Eleanor Powell had it at Spades in 1941 The lady be good, she wasn't even the star of the film and still topped it today. one of the film's signature dance sequences, the mesmerizing Rhythm Powell takes her tapping skills to the next level.

It starts off slow, but the dance quickly takes off as she shows us everything she has in her repertoire for most of the dance. It's just Powell on stage with a piano it takes real confidence to go on stage alone and Powell had the skills to keep us begging for more foreign music our top pick here are some honorable mentions Leslie Carroll in An American in Paris Leslie Calhoun makes her way dancing across a rainbow of colors Citrus in party girl, a party girl in fact Ruby Keeler on 42nd Street everything Ruby Keeler did was indelible Ginger Rogers in Follow the Fleet Rogers doesn't need a look to shine Rita Hayworth on her feet in the earth Rita is the star of this audition I needed goddess and the goddess comes out of nowhere I wonder who she is before we continue.
