The "Super Freak" dance from Little Miss Sunshine. It's such a wonderful way to show how the characters have changed through the course of the movie, and I don't think I've ever seen anybody have that much fun dancing as those five people.

Whitey's Lindyhoppers in HELLZAPOPPIN' (1941).
The most explosive dance number I've ever seen. (It starts about 2:30 in)

There are SO many great ones to name.
But the one I always come back to is "Begin the Beguine" from Broadway Melody of 1940. Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell. Perfect set, perfect costumes, perfectly filmed. A perfect tap number from a pair of perfect dancers.

Posted: 12/23/07 at 9:43amI'd say Moses Supposes from Singin' In the Rain is my favourite.

Posted: 12/23/07 at 9:47amBegin the Beguine is as great as most of that film is lousy. That's pretty damned great!

- Ann Miller doing "Modern Man" in On the Town
- Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer doing the Ländler in "The Sound of Music" (so simple, yet so sexy)
- Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers doing "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" on roller skates in Shall We Dance.

*The dance at the gym-- West Side Story
*Cooper's Ballet-- Center Stage
*The entirety of The Company
*Make 'Em Laugh-- Singin' in the Rain
*I can't remember the name of the song but it's from The Band Wagon with Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse. She's wearing a white dress and I believe they are in a park. It's absolutely gorgeous.

-The American in Paris Ballet from An American in Paris
-The Broadway Melody Ballet from Singin' in the Rain
There's a lot I am not certain of...

Oh my God, I just saw the clip for "Good Mornin'" in SINGIN' IN THE RAIN and I think I counted about 7 or 8 cuts in the whole sequence. That is pretty impressive for a musical number, especially such an incredibly elaborate one. Today there are about 8 cuts in a 20 second timeframe.
Apart from some mentioned on here, "Make 'Em Laugh" from SINGIN' IN THE RAIN is one of my favorite dance scenes from a movie musical. Donald O'Connor is just too good.
