Have watched them allll my life n yet to see any better together than Fred n Ginger...matched so well in body, flow n control...Thank goodness for film. They live on n we can see them anytime we want..what joy n appreciation i have now.
Dance on film owes everything to Fred Astaire. He brought to it musicality, style, grace and class. A driven perfectionist, his work ethic was second to none. He was also the first to incorporate props in a meaningful sense into dance as a medium on film. Let's not forget either what a fine singer he was. Many of the songs that we now associate with the Great American Songbook, were written for Astaire and first performed by him on film as he danced.
My cat looks as if he's wearing a tuxedo. I named him Fred Astaire because I always loved his dancing and he often wore a tuxedo in his films. We call him Freddie.
Дякую!

The Famous Fred Astaire With The Best Dancer of The Epoque
When they danced, All the poetry of music , love and dancing, Got its start, Never ever to fall apart.
Would have been better taken straight from his movies.
People remember only the beauty of the dance but forget the blood and the pain.
Ррррррррп
I think a matinee in those days cost a dime. They sure didn't get cheated!
Love it so xo xo
My God I wish we could go back in time 😢 even though there's always been nastiness and violence in the world. At least the filth didn't seep Into the majority of what we watched. Now it swearing sarcasm and mild violence at the very least, and it everywhere, apart from some youtubers I love, I don't think I will bother with TV the internet. I'm over it, watching Russia attack Ukraine for 3 days straight really damaged my mind, I felt to guilty to enjoy the freedom I'm blessed with. Seeing Fred Astaires innocence, hearing the music I know so well has made me cry, and wake up to what information overload does on a biological level. Are phones are ready to go any spare time, we weren't made for it....I wasn't made for it. Thank you so so much 🥲👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺💞🕊🌻🏆.
