This is one of the reasons I wish I had been alive in the 1940's. I always have wanted to learn to tap dance.
If you don't have the patience to watch all 10 minutes of this video (but you really should), skip to 8:40 and you'll either cringe or be amazed or both.

I so enjoyed that. Haven't seen splits like that since my honeymoon. And I always love to watch people putting on the ritz.
I've never wanted to tap dance, but I would sure love to take dance lessons... I enjoy watching two people who know their moves on the dance floor...

Or maybe the 1930s. Apart from fascism, stalinism, imminent war, depression, mass unemployment - a pretty cool time.
Check out WR to see ;D

white: Yes, politically and economically very bad, but the music was great in the 1930's and1940's. Cole Porter is one of my all time favorites.
