Ever heard of a guy named Fred Astaire? How about Gene Kelly?

They cracked the code. If you can dance your arse off without looking effeminate, you're at the top of your game.

Hes a comedian. Im not even sure hes considered a dancer? You dont know anything about that era.

Check out Tommy Rall in My Sister Eileen. Tommy Rall is the best of that era.

Look im not saying you have to like that style or whatever. But hes objectively a trillion times better than that penguin shite in the OP.

frick DVD isnt even Justin Timberlake.



ETA: are people ITT really going to argue that Dick Van Dyke is a batter dancer than Justin Timberlake? You guys are eat up with it

Agreed. Both Astaire and Kelly are studied even by today. Hell even Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" video was based on some old Astaire stuff.

I love DVD. I grew up on his stuff and he he a great entertainer. But not the best white dancer ever. It's not even close.

You have gifs that include vintage, hot Mary Tyler Moore, and you think I am going to be able to focus on Dick Van Dyke?

Kelly was one of the best dancers ever, looked like an athlete, and could act. I think he would have been great as a Bond type character, Matt Damon's Jason Bourne, or in similar roles to Cary's Grant in To Catch a Thief or North By Northwest.
