Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell

C'mon teddy, that was you there with Fred

With a little smoke and mirrors, some bad lighting, a stunt double, and some of the stuff that this guy is on ---> to give to the audience...........I can appear to dance like that as well!!!

Fred, I think the *stunt double* gave you away!!!     that emo ----> is frightening!!!! 

Boo!!!!  ..............................................................................

Ive always marvelled at Eleanor's dancing, I first saw her in 'born to dance' with jimmy stewart,... she just took my breath away, and her huge tap dance at the end was just stunning....... the greats where just that, the greats....i still love b&w movies the best....they basically are the bulk of my dvd collection.

they just make it look like a walk in the park... .....thanks for that teddy....

I wish I could 'float' and have the grace of a Fred Astair....but lead balloons rarely do....

Ah well...

Thanks tbc for the fantasy!

I'm glad everyone liked this bit of nostaligia!!!

I can do that, but I just keep moving to the left.  Something about my feet I guess.  Oh and I'm about 130 pounds heavier than Fred.  Oh and I can't tap dance.  Oh and I can't breathe.  Oh shit.!

That's what would happen to me if I tried to get back into dancing.

Back in 1992 I was the United Kingdom Alliance Medalist of the Year (ballroom) but the years since have not been kind...

I have the same problem.  My trousers have no ballroom.

I know the feeling, 1992, I was a renegade millionare, jetsetting the world doing underwear modelling jobs for the fun of it... wow.. whatever happened to me???

Ah, but yours sounds like fantasy, whereas mine was reality

I got medals for Irish dancing when I was 7

We had to perform at Town Hall, for school, thank goodness I barely remember it.. I need a memory eraser, you should have one of those thing's handy Fuzzy

I danced in front of 5000+ at Blackpool's Winter Gardens, three times:- 1992 UKA (winner - partner Gaynor 3rd in her competition), 1992 IDTA (finalist - partner Rachael DNQ) and 1993 IDTA (finalist - partner Rachael DNQ).

For the 1992 UKA I was already have problems with my feet, dancing with three injections in my left foot. A mixture of dancing in agony and a lack of a good partner meant a downhill slide and eventual retirement.

I miss it, sigh.

Awesome Fuzzy, sad that you had to quit though.

There was only about 200 at the Town Hall, thank goodness   and now I'm a head banger.. go figure

   hmm.... your slice of the market shrunk?......

Darlin', the days of uber tight wranglers are over(unless you are on the rodeo circuit). Let the boys breathe!!!!!
