I am really not surprised. Back in the day, if you wanted to get into acting, you had to know how to sing and dance. In fact, Morgan Freeman was told to learn how to dance though he has done very little. He danced for a short time in Million Dollar Baby. Just so he could just once in his career

James Cagney started out dancing in a chorus line on stage. That's where he met his wife. Before he became famous for his gangster roles, prior to YDD, he danced in a few of his early movies.

i've always loved that movie! and i absolutely love his dancing. also, there was an autobiographical movie about eddie foy, maybe, and that part was done by bob hope. cagney had a short spot reprising his cohan role, and the 2 of them have a dance competition on the tabletops. that's the only thing i remember about the movie, but that was great 🙂.

@aspasiaaria853 3 ай бұрын

Cagney was a dancer, and did make films where his own dance style was featured. For “Yankee Doodle Dandy” he said in interviews that he very carefully studied the footage of Cohan’s performances to learn the man’s signature style-which required adapting to Cohan’s psychology as much as his physical movements.

I am a theatre snob. For me, there is a difference between moving well and being a dancer. Patrick Swayze was a dancer. Catherine Zeta-Jones did musical theatre in London. Christopher Walken started off as a dancer. Check out the movie Pennies From Heaven. Hugh Jackman also started off in musical theatre. PBS stations aired his Oklahoma several years ago. Tom Holland did Billy Elliot in London. You can find videos of him doing ballet online. I consider these people to be dancers, not people who move well. There's nothing wrong with moving well; moving well is great. If there was a dance audition for a show; many of them would get cut. But if the audition was for actors who can move well, they'd get the job. My opinion, of course.

Kate Hudson's mom, Goldie Hawn, was a dancer, for a while in Vegas, before she was a famous actress. I loved Cinema Italiano in Nine so much I just kept playing it back over and over again. One of my favorite dance numbers ever. It is sexy and has great energy. The male dancers are hot!

For once, I agree with number one!! I really expected it to be John Travolta, which would have been irratating, since we always knew he could dance.

He was an actor before he was a dancer. He should have been #1.

We didn’t know he could dance until Saturday Night Fever. He never danced before that. Didn’t study dance his entire life before SNF. What a disappointment he wasn’t even mentioned.

Charlize Theron, Penelope Cruz and Catherine Zeta-Jones all trained in ballet; not surprising they all can dance😄. It would be fair to divide "dancing actors" into two categories: those who had professional training and those who didn't - the latter would be true surprises.

I can't believe you didn't mark Tom Holland's Umbrella as #1... I remember watching it pretty close to when it was first ... 'streamed'(?)... When he came out and did that dance it was just unbelievable. He put everything into that. It wasn't just a dance it was a fantastic performance - the water raining from the ceiling, kicking up the water on the floor, falling into the water... Even even just the fact that he starts it with singing in the rain and then completely flips the entire tone of the performance is awesome because it's so unexpected. Starting out in the dark suit and flipping to being in a... Corset? But he never acted like it was a bit. He took it completely seriously from beginning to the end and through all his energy into it it was just amazing.

I feel much the same about the Gere performance but what about Renee Zellweger in this movie? She was astounding and didn't have the same dancers background as Zeta Jones. I heard she trained like a trooper and she made it fly in my opinion.
