The Nicholas Brothers didn’t just dance in Stormy Weather (1943). They rewrote what audiences thought was physically possible!

Fayard and Harold Nicholas combined tap, acrobatics, and perfect timing into a sequence that still feels impossible more than 80 years later. Leaping over each other, dancing across pianos, and finishing with their legendary staircase routine, they performed every move for real. Fred Astaire later called it the greatest dance sequence ever filmed, and it’s easy to see why. Some performances age. This one just keeps raising the bar.

“Maidens Typical of France” and the brief but electrifying can-can numbers performed by Juliet Prowse just before the police raid the nightclub in the 20th Century Fox film, Can-Can (1960).
Though it lasts only moments, this was Prowse's first film appearance; and the arrival of a new major dance talent is instantly announced.

A fascinating footnote: during production, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev visited the set and was shocked by what he saw, condemning the film as “immoral” and declaring, “The face of humanity is prettier than its backside.” Shirley MacLaine later joked that he was probably upset because the dancers were wearing underwear during the can-can. The incident generated nationwide publicity for the film.

Juliet Prowse "in the buff" as Eve in #Time magazine in 1975. This was a promo for the 1975 #Fashion Awards which aired on ABC in March and where Juliet's montage to fashion started with Eve #dance

@PieterVand37940 I live in Cape Town and go to theatre monthly. Big shows, dance productions, smaller one (wo)man shows at Artscape, Theatre on the Bay, Baxter, Starlight (old Fugard), and the Cape Philharmonic at City Hall. We have a lot of talent in SA & it's also cheaper than tickets overseas

The Garden Route has officially been ranked the world’s best road trip

Scoring 90.6/100, it beat iconic routes like Route 66 and the Amalfi Coast. A big win for South African tourism!:

Juliet was a #dancer at heart! Trained as a ballet dancer, she turned to modern when she was told that she was too tall. This photo is from her nightclub act in the early 1960s showcasing her classical ballet roots #ballet #dance

@yomgqashiyo If a business lasts for 50 years, is it a failure?

@afneil Maybe court cases over Iraq?
- Rose Gentle's son, a Brit soldier was killed in Iraq
- Claims by Iraqi Civilians - Eur Court of Human Rights said UK had legal accountability for actions
- Iraq Inquiry - concluded war not justified, peace options not exhausted, intel flawed

@MrMatthewTodd The British media is just horrible! Once I realised how differently they reported on the same thing but was super positive about Kate and super negative about Meghan, I couldn't unsee the bias. If they want to villainise you, they will: https://t.co/75Ctiv9zPP

Thanks Rob Kelly and the Fade Out podcast that starts with my aunt Juliet's last film Who Killed Teddy Bear? This quirky film covers taboo topics for the mid-1960s and is a dramatic role for Juliet. Her obsessed stalker in the movie was Sal Mineo

Brings me great joy as DJT has bullied his way around the world! A YoY increase of 10% as #SouthAfrica’s farm exports hit $15.1bn record even as US shipments slump #Agriculture https://t.co/s3zOLIP3es

Theres a very long list of US products that cannot be sold in the EU thanks to EU regulations. Since the favorite pastime of the Trump regime and every US oligarch is now to demonize EU regulations, I thought it would be very much worth going through some of those products.🧵
