1932-1962 Dance Project--a brief summary of about 3 decades

Recently in a dance class I am taking, we had to research two consecutive eras and find our information from a provided textbook. Each person in the group had a different task. I always love to be the one making a video if possible, so I had a visual aid. I also did a dance because even though this took about two hours to create, it is under five minutes so it looked like I did nothing. So I danced to the song "Ballin' the Jack" the Bob Crosby orchestra version. I explained to my peers that this song did have lyrics but I found it easier to dance to than the super slow Danny Kaye version or the sped up Gene Kelly and Judy Garland version I have from their movie For Me and My Gal . 
However this clip includes snip its that are not in order. It has snip its of movies, famous people, famous orchestras, and it contains sections of radio programs, and songs. I also have included a snip it or two from movies and television. It is mainly to give a sense of the time, as I assume the point of the assignment was because otherwise we would just dance.

Fred Astaire speaks Dance

I did this for the moves, I wanted a modern song to keep Fred Astaire relevant. This is a zumba song. It has a lot of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers' clip. I am going to do Fred Astaire tributes though. I'm going to put my favorite Fred Astaire dances, and suave favorite moves to one of his songs. Any suggestions? I love the way you look tonight? 

One of the moves I used in the video.

Happy Holidays, from Fred Astaire.

From the charming man who brought you Holiday Inn, one of the greatest films of all time, here he is again with another holiday movie-Santa Claus is Coming to Town. I love this song. It was on tonight. By the time I post this though it may not have been. I spent like an hour crying over youtube's stupid new design. Anyway, Fred is always charming and a pleasure, he puts things in prespective so without further ado. The lovely debonair himself, Fred Astaire.

Welcome!

Let's get down to it. The best way to determine what my blog is about is to just state things outright.
I will make changes due to this blog being new and so on and so forth and all the usual things an editor says...Let's get down to the nitty gritty.
I may feature some things that are mine but not often. I like to write, take pictures, and so on.
