There are a bunch of good ones from CATS, especially all the dances that the white cat Victoria does.

I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

I LOVE that Dance Break from Mamma Mia. I also love Cassie's dance break in "The Music and The Mirror" from A Chorus Line, as well as every dance break in 42nd Street.

I would love to design the lighting for the Jellicle Ball in Cats! Great oppurtunity to use intelligent lights.

It's not on Broadway, but "Be Our Guest" in Beauty and the Beast at the Kennedy Center was amazing! When I saw it, it got a standing ovation (something I've only seen once in the middle of a show).

I love the dance breaks throughout 42nd Street.

Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.

The 5 second dance break Angela Lansbury gave herself during A Little Priest is by far the most original dance break ever.

BSoBW2: I punched Sondheim in the face after I saw Wicked and said, "Why couldn't you write like that!?"

It was an entire dance number, and some of you are going to groan, but I loved the Speakeasy from Thoroughly Modern Millie.

You know it and you want it... you just can't believe you've got it.

The Jellicle Ball from CATS is the best. Enough said.

The opening of 42nd Street gives me goose bumps everytime
I also enjoy the dance breaks during Springtime for Hitler in The Producers along with Stro's ingenius scene changes
Jellicle Ball is a huge DUH
Snuff that Girl's dance break is hysterical
And since my favorite show right now is Avenue Q, I have to add how the puppets dance during the "da da da da da" part in It Sucks to be Me and Princeton's dance with the moving boxes during Purpose always put a smile on my face

I also love their cute little circle dance during 'It Sucks to be Me,' but I wouldn't really consider it much of a "dance break."
