Let's hear it for I GOT RHYTHM!

The corrugated tin - the mining pans - the saw - the bicycle pump - the plunger - the percussion on the miner's helmets...

The part where they've all been doing different things, then suddenly they come together and form a line across the stage, with their arms linked together, and do that step with the heads turning and the hands clapping - sheer heaven!

And then, when you think the number is almost over, they break apart for a whole new bunch of stuff!

I second anything from Hairspray. It's the only thing the music is good for: Radio's Top 40 Hits.

I would go with "our Favorite Son" from Will Roger Follies. I got to learn the original choreography and take it to competition with my dance company... We were 1 point away from getting a platinum!!

I can't control my destiny. I trust my soul my only goal is just to be

All I ever wanted was "the music and the mirror" and the chance to dance for you.

"Smart! And into all those exotic mystiques -- The Kama Sutra and Chinese techniques. I hear she knows more than seventy-five. Call me tomorrow if you're still alive!"

My overall favourite choreography is from HELLO,DOLLY followed by WEST SIDE STORY.

I also enjoyed the dance numbers in some of the Disney shows and some of the more recent musicals. Also, watch out for the choreography in the upcoming Broadway production of CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG.

For eye candy, while dancing - it will have to be Hugh in EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN ( The Boy from OZ)

My favorite dance number, hands down, is "Snuff the Girl" from Urinetown

Isn't that a direct rip-off of West Side Story's "Cool"?

I'll have to add "Love Crazy" to my list, not because it's spectacular in any way, but because it's just friggin' hilarious.

Favorite Dance Number?

That's easy!!! :)

TITLE NUMBER from ON YOUR TOES.

It starts out slow, builds and builds to a frenzied climax where 50 men and women are tap dancing ALL ACROSS stage!

It's also QUITE LONG--I believe OVER EIGHT MINUTES!

A landmark achievement in Broadway choreography from 1937 that was superbly recreated in 1987.

I would have thought Le Jazz Hot would be your number one choice Victoria!

PS. Mary Ethel, I loved that revival of ON YOUR TOES and that dance number was stunningly fun.
