Dance Me

[prudence999]

The video is a good reminder of how much dancing entered the public imagination of the 1930s. The movies danced, and the public danced too. The audience were not passive. They left the theaters and went out to the dance halls. There was no TV, and people had little money, so they created their own enjoyments, and dancing was central to that idea. I am still astounded how over-the-top popular Astaire/Rogers were then. They didn't invent social dancing, but they made it so incredibly appealing.

"Dance me to the children who are asking to be born"

^^ What an enchanting line. So poetic, lovely and innocent. My goodness.

[klachmacka]

Superb. Who sings it?

[TheProfaneAngel]

Thank you. Madeleine Peyroux.

I love this song, it was the one that introduced me to Madeleine Peyroux. Thanks for using it.

I enjoyed every second of this polished video. Opening with silhouettes was masterful and wasn't that Bette as Jezebel near the video's end? Cleverly done! The contrast between the graceful dancers that came before followed by Bette's pouting turn about the floor with Fonda...I couldn't help chuckling. The glorious music establishes a wonderful mood and captures the moment. Thanks for a lovely treat. I look forward to the next.

I love your video. You edited it so beautifully. You know Myrna danced in almost all her movies. I wish someone could do one of her dancing scenes. You all seem to know just what song fits best. You are so terribly talented.

Absolutely fantastic !! Love it.

Eleanor Powell was amazing - as were

Astaire and Rogers. Wish I could give

you more than 5 stars !!

Carolyn, I was absolutely mesmerized by this! I love it! My only complaint is that I wasn't ready to stop watching when it ended. You are the master!

[unbrokendream]

Gorgeous! Your song choices always fit so well and this one is no exception. Well done.

[basilnelson]

There's no stopping you now Carolyn! Film clips galore all nicely timed and synchronised with an excellent soundtrack. I like the choice of 'theme' and I am sure this is the beginning of a new era of ProfaneAngel videos!
