Famous Dancers

[pinkstarzzz]

For English class I have to do a report/power point of a famous person from Pennsylvania. Does anyone know any famous dancers that are from Pennsylvania if you do can you please post it here! I would greatly appreciate it!

I tried to help by googling "Dancers Pensylvania". Well, what came is probably not the kinda dancing you are looking for. But apparently Pennsylvania has a lot of them.

Actaully, Gene Kelley was born in Pittsburg!!!!! I always loved his dancing, I think he was better than Astaire ( but don't tell anyone).

Why do you think that Gene Kelly was better than Fred Astaire? Just curious.

For me, I think I would faint in their arms, who ever was holding me :wink:

Um. So would I. Dancing with a dead guy tends to make mere mortals faint dead away! :shock: :wink: :lol:

I'll try googling tomorrow, after I've had some dancng and some sleep. :wink: :D

The main reason I enjoyed Gene Kelley better wasn't actually his dancing. They were both great dancers. Gene was a much better actor(IMHO), and chose better movies to make. Gene also seemed to radiate a sense of joy in all his movies, that was just fun to watch without being corny.

What do you think?

I haven't watched any of their movies in ages but, I think I know what you mean "radiating a sense of joy".

Right now, I am thinking about GK's routine in Singing in the Rain and even if he wasn't smiling, my memory is of him always having a smiling face. (Maybe it's those 'boy next door cheeks of his? :lol: ) whereas with FA, I don't have an image/memory of him smiling, which I am sure he did, but, I just don't have that image :oops:

I see a schlock horror film in the making! Mad scientist brings GK and FA back from the grave to dance--maybe they begin eating people at the comp, turning them into zombie grinders.... :twisted:

Zombie grinders? Sounds like an interesting sandwich. :P :lol:
