  • Ellie was an extremely hard worker and only made one picture a year while having control of the choreolography. She was as versatile as any dancer on the silver screen with a broad array of routines.She danced 12 hours daily and was the master at creating complex dancing steps that she performed so smoothly that a novice did not realize what she pulled off. Great performers make the difficult look easy. I have a list of over 25 performers who call Eleanor Powell the very best. I agree with them.

  • @hajune Thanks very much :) It's time that people around the world come to realize this lost genius's contribution to dance.

  • No wonder Fred mad the comments about her being the best dancer. Everytime I see her dance it is amazing. I know it's not but she makes it look so easy. I had no idea she did her own rountines. That is awsome. She is really the versitle Queen of tap. I say versitle becuase she does different dancing while doing her tap dances. If you know what I mean. She is one of my favorites. I'm sure you could tell that.

  • Holy shit! Is there anything this woman couldn't do?

  • @hajune nicely said-wouldve like to know why she got replace by garland in 2 ofher pictures later on-looking at her work -she was a heck of her dancer-artist-sometimes she looked a bit mature in the routines-but the queen of the dance steps-and complex choreography -only she could do that--judy was a good dancer--a bit sloppy at times-lazy-in her footsteps-not anywhere near eleanor powell--we are seeing her movies on tcm again-after a long time --i agree with hajune and the other comments here.

  • This was real talent!

  • watching this while listening to eagles of death metal

  • Holy Moly! We used to call this trick photography!

  • Very interesting to read hajune's comment below. If the average person spent their entire lifetime practicing this they probably wouldn't be able to do it half as well. WHAT A TALENT was Eleanor Powell!.

  • was there anything this woman couldn't do?

  • I get exhausted just watching her!
