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.

They didn’t show Christopher Walken’s dance routine from the movie Hairspray.😢They also didn’t mention Hugh Jackman’s role in the musical Oklahoma.

Charlise Therone was the only surprise out of the actresses amd actresses. I'm surprised John Travolta didn't make this list. He had only been known on tv for Barbarino on Welcome Back Carter, before he crashed the big screen! Interesting . Most these talented actors and actresses are well rounded talent. Most can sing as well. Hugh Jackman has a gorgeous voice. He did the stage version of Oklahoma long before his movie career.

I first saw Walken dance in Pennies from Heaven with Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters. Walken dances on a bar in suspenders and a tank top undershirt. Very sexy stuff.

Was a requirement for all the Golden age movie stars to be able to sing & dance. And they did it beautifully! Look at all the old musicals from the early years ❤❤❤❤

We underestimate what these actors can do, so many had already trained as children - the guy from scrubs really was the one that surprised me ❤

From #20, I was waiting for Christopher Walken as #1. After all, he was a dancer before being an actor, even if his roles didn't often allow us to remember this fact.

Good lord, yes. Everyone should find his “Let’s Misbehave” from “Pennies From Heaven.” What a talent!

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.

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.

😂 This video is funny! Of course they can dance these routines! They were taught how to do it. That's what choreographers do. They teach people how to dance (aka dance instructor, dance school). It not like they are breaking out impromptu in your local bar/pub! They are trained entertainers and pretty good at it! 😉
