My sister began dance lessons in the mid to late 50's.... (so did I but I didn't stick very long)... she still has a dance studio in Fresno and is going strong.
Dance... Musicals... has been a staple in my family for my entire life. I've seen nearly all of the them. Can't say I loved all of them but I loved most of them.
Singin' in the Rain - The Wizard Of Oz - Chicago - All the Jazz - Oklahoma - Cabaret - Oliver - Show Boat - Seven Brides For Seven Brothers - Willie Wonka - Bye Bye Birdie - The King and I - Meet Me In St. Louis - Gus and Dolls - Thoroughly Modern Millie - Porgy and Bess - Paint Your Wagon - A Chorus Line - Fame - Kiss Me Kate - Hair - The Mikado - The Lion King - The Music Man - South Pacific - Moulin Rouge - Jailhouse Rock - White Christmas....
It's a long list. Probably the two I saw the most were "Paint Your Wagon" which I believe is one of the best movies I've ever seen and "Singin' In The Rain' mostly to watch the two dance numbers "Singin' In The Rain and Donald O'Connor's "Make Em' Laugh".
If you've never seen Donald O'Connor... and shame on you if you haven't...
