Favorite Dance Break?

Posted: 3/25/08 at 7:00pm

I was listening to the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Cast Recording, and the dance break music during "The More We Dance" came on, and it had me thinking about all the amazing dance breaks in songs and on Broadway in general.

So, I was wondering, what are some of YOUR favorite dance breaks in a song/show?

Mine is a tie between:
The More We Dance from DRS
or Dancing Through Life from Wicked.

There are many, many others but what are some of yours?

It's not on the cast recording, but the dance break in 'You Can't Stop the Beat' from Hairspray is my favorite.

Some of you scare me a little! Are we talking musically or the actual dancing in the dance break?
