More Video Fun with Sluggy

Since yesterday's post with the clip from "Kiss Me, Kate" was so well received, I have another one for you today.

My blogging buddy over at I'M SO PRETTY I FART FAIRY DUST mentioned her love of the classic film "Singing In The Rain", so I went digging for a clip to share from that film.  Here is a neat one and probably one you haven't seen very much, if at all.
Everyone knows the "Singing in the Rain" Gene Kelly number and the Donald O'Connor "Make Em Laugh" showstopper, but how about the one I found?

I just love Mr. Kelly and I stand in awe of his abilities, especially since I studied tap dancing.  It may look easy but tap takes incredible Balance to do it well.....something I wasn't born with, balance.lol
I also took lessons to learn how to roller skate and earned a Badge for it in the Girl Scouts.
Yes, you could say in my younger days I was "Hell on Wheels".....lol

As some one who has tap danced and roller skated, I will tell you that the following clip is tremendously impressive.....

  1. Amazing! I had a friend, in college, that "dance skated". Well she regular skated, too, but she wa a pretty impressive dancer on those things, too.

  2. I put Kiss me Kate on my Netflix queue. Thanks for ideas. I meant to watch these movies some day but never got around to seeing the classics.

  3. Wooo Hooo! I am a former tapper too! I once had to see an orthopedist for a soccer injury and he scoffed at my choice "not much future in that, huh?" Well, in college, I got a part in any musical I wanted because I could tap.

    Get a few drinks in me 25 years later and I'll do a time step or two!!!

    Gene was best of all...
