10 minutes of a tribute to Fred Astaire's partners. Some of the very best in Hollywood, mostly B&W but lots of pretty dresses.

OMG. Get thee to YouTube and look up the following:

Anne Miller, she was an amazing dancer. Ignore the dated lyrics and watch Shakin' the Blues Away
Judy Garland in Summerstock, she dances as well as sings (and I just adore the movie which also has Gene Kelly)
Rita Hayworth

If you find you can get her to sit still for a B&W YouTube video, check out some Ruby Keeler and Eleanor Powell both of whom were headline dancers in their own right back in the day and did some wonderful stuff. Best of all, all those old numbers, the women were in astounding dresses.

And while I'm thinking of it, you might want to try her on Brigadoon. That was a gateway musical for me, what with the magic village and all.
