I liked Electricity from Billy Elliot. Those boys can dance!

In Mary Poppins, the chim chim chimney dance was amazing. And Bert going upside down tapping was incredible!

I have this strange fascination with Mimi's dancing during "Out Tonight" in RENT. It's how I grade my Mimi's most of the time.

As far as repeating things:
-All That Jazz
-America
-Music and the Mirror

"You Can't Stop the Beat" from Hairspray and the Finale from 42nd St. Kinda surprised people haven't mentioned it much...in the revival it was absolutely breath-taking I thought.

I'd go ahead and just say anything Michael Bennett

"Oklahoma?" - Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
"Nicest Kids in Town" - Hairspray
"It's Your Wedding Day" - Wedding Singer
"America" - West Side Story

Gotta love them all, even if they're not on my list. Classic or not, it takes so much to make a dance number special and work really well. I think everyone (not here) underestimates the talent of a dancer, especially the critics and the average theatregoer. They think that dancing is a couple choreographed steps that anyone can do if they're taught it. WRONG! Long live dancers. :)

"Beat Me Daddy Eight To The Bar" from BIG DEAL and "It Don't Mean A Thing" from SOPHISTICATED LADIES popped into mind right away but there are WAY too many to list.

WOSQ thank goodness you said it- there really cannot be a better piece of choreography/ dance drama/ pure broadway, 5-star, no question, jaw-dropping, floor-wiping tha 'Who's That Woman?' in Follies.

I'm putting my fingers in my ears and going 'Lalalala' loudly, because I really won't hear otherwise!!!!

Second choice- way way back- Bye Bye Blackbird.

Love to all.
