Rita was great, but relative to Astair, none can’t compete. Astair was so natural.....’course, he didn’t have a woman’s posterior to take through the motions.

That was fantastic, thanks!

Parts of it struck the spirit of a modern day flash mob performance. Flash mobs are not nearly as glamorous and talented, but some of the joy of flash mob performances appear to be a shadow of those days when Hollywierd had some joy, talent and class.

She started out as a dancer. Both of her parents were professional dancers, her mother with the Ziegfeld Follies and her father with his own Spanish dance studio. Think her father's father also had a dance studio in Spain. (Been quite a while since I watched a documentary on her life, but I think I'm recalling that correctly.)

She always exuded such joy while dancing -- a pleasure to watch.

Yes, Rita was the most natural and exuberant of the Hollywood dancers....she could keep up with Fred Astaire. I think he had to slow down with everyone else.

No one like Rita! Thanks so much.

Here’s one I like, similar but different. Michael Jackson pays homage to Fred Astaire. They had a mutual admiration society. Here a clever fellow puts them together onscreen:

Nothing keeps the body in shape like being a professional dancer and being good at it....I’ll be she danced or practiced 8 hours a day....
