6 danses

One of my stated recreational interests is dance, specifically classical ballet.

In general, there are about 6 dance sequences that I'd say (off the top of my head) are great fun to watch, in terms of escape/entertainment, cleverness and/or talent:


1. Kitri's Entrance
(from the ballet DON QUIXOTE - American Ballet Theatre version)
This excerpt is outstanding, in that Cynthia Harvey (dancer in pink) is performing LIVE onstage.
Brilliant!

Meanwhile, all other preferred dance clips referenced here are from films or miniseries & were edited in some way into their current forms.



2. Crown Inn ball dance: Emma Woodhouse & Mr (George) Knightley
(from the BBC 2009 televised version of Jane Austen's novel EMMA)


3. "What a comforting thing to know"
(from the Cinderella-style film SLIPPER AND THE ROSE)


4. A dance/song sequence at an Amritsar party
(from BRIDE AND PREJUDICE;
alternate clip here)


5. "That's how you know"
(from ENCHANTED - seriously cheesy though)
=> go to 1m03 for best results


6. An opening-credits street dance
(from one of the AUSTIN POWERS films)
=> go to 1m34 for best results


Sorry if this wasn't interesting enough for you..!
