In Peru, a growing trend is transforming traditional funerals into festive celebrations through "dancing undertakers" (los portadores bailarini), offering a cheerful alternative to solemn mourning.

Just missed Clive Barnes' birthday, and am missing his writing, e.g. "Miss Makarova who as on the first night flashed imperiously as the Firebird [below], was partnered by Fernando Bujones in “The Corsair” pas de deux. They go well together and her insouciant cheekiness and his rabid athleticism made this duet most exciting." @nytimesarts 4/30/1977 @ABTBallet

🇨🇮 Meet the Zaouli, one of the hardest dances in the world. A centuries-old tradition from the Guro people of Ivory Coast, always performed by men. The footwork alone will break your brain.

The legs don't lie.

The talented James Cagney dances to “Give My Regards to Broadway” in the Best Picture nominee “Yankee Doodle Dandy” (1942). The movie explores the life of George M. Cohan.

Gwen Verdon’s “Whatever Lola Wants” in Damn Yankees (1958) is the reason to see the whole movie. Bob Fosse gave her the steps and she made them legendary.

But… does her mischievous, seductive energy here work on Tab Hunter?

If you’re curious, the film speaks for itself.

🎹✨ Harpo Marx Meets Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 – one of the most dramatic, fiery, and technically dazzling piano pieces ever written.

Harpo’s silent genius turns this virtuosic masterpiece into a hilarious, unforgettable spectacle, blending sheer musical brilliance with comedy. 😲🎶

One of the most electrifying musical numbers ever filmed: “Be a Clown” from The Pirate (1948).

Here, Gene Kelly dances alongside the legendary Nicholas Brothers - a groundbreaking moment, as it marked the first time black performers were shown dancing together with a white star in a major Hollywood musical. Their chemistry, athleticism, and sheer joy make this sequence unforgettable.

At the time of its release, however, this very number was cut from screenings in Southern U.S. states; an unfortunate reminder of the segregation era and how even extraordinary artistry was shaped by racial barriers.

The routine strongly echoes in “Make ’Em Laugh” from Singin' in the Rain (1952), performed by Donald O'Connor. The similarities in choreography and comedic beats are striking, though the composer of the original song, Cole Porter never raised any public objection.

A joyful performance, a historic milestone, and a telling snapshot of Hollywood’s past.

James Cagney dancing to “Give My Regards to Broadway” in Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) isn’t just a great performance—it’s a complete reinvention.

Known for playing tough gangsters, Cagney stepped into the role of Broadway legend George M. Cohan… and owned it.

No flashy perfection. Just sharp timing, pure energy, and undeniable charisma.

At the height of WWII, it wasn’t just entertainment—it was optimism, pride, and a reminder of what America felt like at its best.
