I came across this clip on imgur and it got me thinking about other dance scenes that made me smile:


The film 'Pride' is about the LGBT movement helping out the miners in Wales when they were striking.

As this forum won't allow me to post more than two media clips in one post, I'll post a follow-up.

'The Intouchables', a French film about a disabled man who needs a full-time carer and some company:

This one contains a spoiler for Clerks 2 in case you haven't already seen it and intend to (what the hell have you been doing since 2006?!?)

Rock Steady Crew (in blue) vs NYC Breakers (in red) in Beat Street. Dude at 4:17 is especially impressive.

There are quite a few in Xanadu, but one with Olivia and Gene Kelly stands out.

Also a dance-off in Earth Girls Are Easy.

And another in Once Bitten.

Speaking of Gene Kelly dance scenes could be a long talk.

Don't watch the following if you haven't seen Napoleon Dynamite and have it on your list of movies to watch before you die. It is what "makes" the movie.

Plenty of dance if you can stand Wacko Jacko.


True story: I "discovered" MJ during my teens coz I thought his album cover for Blood on the Dance Floor looked rad. Listened to it on repeat for days afterwards. This album is his best, most under-rated work. It made me watch all of his other stuff but seriously, all his previous work lacks what I would call some unique funkiness and "maturity" of sound. I mean, listen to an uncompressed version of this album on a good sound system and just marvel at how instruments come together one by one and bring his songs ALIVE!

I think it's a visual trick and that "person" is a pre-recorded image.
There is clearly some sort of visual trickery going on with the dancer holding something and lights just being above his head spinning, but it's clearly a real person dancing and then 2 more afterwards lol. Just search for laser light dancers on youtube and you see some others. A group was on AGT as well but not sure if any of those people were the same ones in this video.
