  • Don't mess with perfection! With all the work those two did to create this number, likely weeks, it is a shame to screw it up with different music. This is a tap dance number.

  • @WBGVA As I have told other people, you can ALWAYS watch the original performance elsewhere on YouTube, across the net, or via DVD or other video services. If you read my comments above, I have said — without being able to be much clearer on the subject — this was not meant to replace the original. It was just a little lark. If you don't like it fine, but nothing and no one is stopping you from enjoying the original number, as I do, from a variety of sources.

  • Ginger was a smart cookie and talented woman who really wanted to act but had to work hard dancing before she got to just act. And work she did because she was no dancing star - Fred Astaire and Hermes Pan tutored and rehearsed her. When Ginger tapped, Hermes dubbed the taps. Fortunately, Ginger was very graceful and somehow a perfect compliment physically to Fred. Her work with Fred is a tribute to her grit and determination.

  • The classic is still there.. This new sound is a compliment to them. More and more people will see them dancing, like me. jmt just my thoughts.

  • 54 people's beat Isn't rockin'

  • That was Great!

  • Very nice! Your videos are great! I have a question, though. Did you used to have one up of Fred and Eleanor dancing from "Begin the Beguine"?? There was a different song with it, and it looked great as well! What happened to that one :(

  • Fantastic video and remix Eleanor in my opinion was the best partner Fred

    Well done on the mix

  • @DS9Sisko

    Can you give us more of this? I mean with similar music? i think it works really well - that a good job you've done with it.

  • Love the original and I really like this too. Shows how good they were. Miss the taps though!

  • That was brilliant tiiming!

  • why bother?

  • Astaire is CLASS...Yet to really see him dance with anyone who isn't stiff looking when they dance. Betty Hutton was good in a film with him.
