I Feel Like Dancing!!

At the start of that video, you see Christina Aguilera singing: "Candyman." Here's the full version.
Have you ever wondered why Christina is seen in triplicate?
Could it be that Candyman has been reworked from something more famous?
 

Fred Astaire's tap shoes (For practice)​


"This pair of brown suede tap shoes worn by Fred Astaire date from the 1930s. We are still working to determine exactly when and where they were worn. Several biographers of Fred Astaire have noted his perfectionist tendencies. He reportedly practiced, practiced and practiced again to achieve his fluid, elegant dance persona. These well-worn shoes bear witness to this effort".

Best tap dancer and drummer in the world​

Eleanor Powell and Buddy Rich should have done more things together. A stunning tap dance routine.
"According to Wikipedia Fred Astaire was somewhat intimidated by Eleanor who was the only woman capable of out-dancing him. He was quoted in his autobiography as saying, "She 'put 'em down like a man', no ricky-ticky-sissy stuff with Ellie. She really knocked out a tap dance in a class by herself." BTW, her husband was Glenn Ford".
 
I bumped into a couple I'd not seen for 40 years. They never had any children because dancing was their passion, I noticed they had both lost a leg.

"Jim and you too Jean, I was so sorry to hear about your accident, and worse, that it put a stop to your dancing", I said.

"Thank for your kind words, Tim, but every Friday night, we still go to our local 'hop'." :LOL:

Adrianne Haslet-Davis has been inspiring people from all over the world with her resilient recovery from the Boston Marathon Bombings where she lost her left leg below the knee. She has had an outpouring of encouragement from the amputee community asking her to dance on a generic prosthetic, in hopes that they too can be inspired to dance. While most of us would use "I have two left feet" as an excuse not to dance, Adrianne and her partner Artsiom Chapialiou are here to prove you don't even need one left foot to really shake things up! Adrianne Haslet-Davis is a professional ballroom dancer whose world came crashing down when she lost her left leg below the knee at the Boston Marathon Bombings. She has made the long journey back to the dance floor with her partner Artsiom Chapialiou and hopes to inspire other amputees to dance as well.

Dance Me to The End of Love... Leonard Cohen

elderly-couples-in-love-54-57f4e75301522__605.jpg

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love

Let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
 
The band isn't playing but the dancers are dancing :unsure: 🎶 :giggle:
