Lots of tap This pseudo documentary on dance was fun and gave me a lot of ideas for movies to put on my wishlist. It even went clear back to silent films.

Great Stuff From The Classic Masters Here's an outstanding collection of some of the great dance numbers from the early 1930s to the mid 1980s.

Great Overview As someone who has loved watching all kinds of dancing over many years, this held my interest as pure entertainment as well as giving me some insight behind some dance productions. The historical perspective held my interest and I loved hearing from many well-known stars. I particularly loved the section with Mikhail Baryshnikov, one of my personal favorites! I wished it didn't have to end.
Entertaining and very enlightening about American music history What a great show! After viewing, I bought a copy of That's Dancing for my parents because I am certain they'll enjoy it, too. Also, it helped me learn more about history because I'd heard of many of the performers, but only when they were older. I didn't realize so many were "child" stars. FUN SHOW!
