I'm in the process of creating a montage of great moments of dancing in television (sitcoms, award shows, commercials, talk shows, game shows, etc.). I would love some suggestions! I'm looking for anything from classic tv to contemporary and serious to hilarious.
Accompanying YouTube clip is appreciated!

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

High School Musical, anyone? Yeah... I didn't think so. It was worth a try, though. And I know I got the dance along edition. I'm aware that HSM in general is truly terrible, but I love the choreography.

We currently have a show airing on BBC1 called 'Lets Dance for Comic Relief', various UK celebrities are dancing well known dances for charity.
The two links below are comedians from the UK and are NOT known for dancing but just watch how well they perform these classic routines. They do not play it for laughs but play it very straight and boy do the laughs come!
Two classics listed below:
Keith and Paddy doing Dirty Dancing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KJuTHnt2Ao
Rob Webb doing Flashdance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtanRbYazR4
These would fall into the HILARIOUS section, let me know your opinions!!
(Edited to correct links!!
