Best Dance Number in a Musical

...what is your favorite?

I would have to say (since I am a big fan of fosse)

Dancin' Man-So intricate. Seems simple, but very hard to perform because it is so precise.

Steam Heat- I like the choreography. Plain and simple.

Steam Heat!!!! And seeing Joyce Chittick dance that number makes me want to dance again more than anything!

Younger Brother- I LOVE Crazy For You!!! It is one of my favorites. I have to find a way to get my hands on the PBS version of it!

I love Steam Heat and All That Jazz... and as for the more "modern" Broadway, the choreography to "You Can't Stop the Beat" is rather impressive.

I give my vote to 'You Can't Stop the Beat'. It's so powerful and amazing when you see the whole cast dancing their asses off.

Before I ever saw the show, I told my friend Candice (Dynamite) that I loved YCSTB on the cast recording. She told me "Wait until you see it live!"

Boy, was she right!

Would you consider a ballet as a dance number? Natalia Makarova and Lara Teeter doing George Ballanchine's original choreography to Richard Rodgers' "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" from On Your Toes.
