Time to Boogie Woogie to the Best Dance Movies of All Time

By Admin | September 15, 2008

Looking for a good dance movie to inspire you, teach you a few moves, or to just sit down and enjoy? Well, I’ve been cruising all of the online ‘best’ lists and here’s your accumulative top five.

1) Footloose - In this eighties classic, Kevin Bacon plays a student who overcomes discrimination against dancing in a small town by showing them what dancing really means. It’s a fun movie with good tunes that are sure to actually loosen up your feet.

2) Save the Last Dance - In this movie, Julia Stiles plays an ex-dancer who moves into a different neighborhood where she’s forced to learn new moves to survive and get ‘back on her feet’. With a little bit of a love story and little it on gang violence, not to mention the intense audition scene in the end, this movie is sure to be thrilling on all kinds of levels.

3) Step Up - This movie, released only a couple years ago is a piece on mixing the classical with the new, the ’street’ kids with the upper class ones, and a love story that only serves to make the dancing even more magical. Channing Tatum busts more than one move in this sharp dance flick that’s good to watch if you want to wow someone at your next big bash.

4) Dirty Dancing - Well, that’s pretty self explanatory. Nobody puts Baby in a corner, and even if they do - she’ll just salsa right out of it.

5) Saturday Night Fever - If John Travolta dances in it, it’s got to be good. What else needs to be said?

Writer’s suggestion: ‘Take the Lead’ is a great dance movie, based on a true story. It stars Antonio Banderas as a New York City dance teacher who takes the time to use dance and music to teach an inner city school’s rejects self respect, respect for others, and the importance of having dignity in the face of tough times.
