“I was born with a couple of left feet, and I didn't even know how to walk, let alone dance,” Frank Sinatra said. However, Anchors Aweigh (1945) would require him not only to dance - but to dance alongside the great Gene Kelly. “It was Gene who saw me through. We became a team only because he had the patience of Job, and the fortitude not to punch me in the mouth because I was so impatient…. Apart from being a great artist, he's a born teacher, and he taught me how to move and how to dance…. I couldn't dance exactly like he danced so he danced down to me. He taught me everything I know.”
“I became a dancer in self-defense. I was doing a comedy monologue and didn’t know how else to get off, so I danced off. I’ve been dancing ever since – but I’m still a comedian.”—Ray Bolger.

For the famous "U Can't Touch This" dance scene, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu wore heels so they could fit in the same camera frame as Cameron Diaz, who performed the routine barefoot
La sombra de lo que fuimos
El hombre sigue caminando hacia adelante, pero su sombra recuerda al niño que nunca dejó de ser
Los años pasan, pero los sueños de la infancia siguen caminando con nosotros.
La vejez es solo la sombra que proyecta la juventud cuando camina hacia la luz
