The other day Kitty was stuck in Youtube Land. She had come across an old movie dance number, which led to another, which lead to another, until she had spent several hours watching some of the greatest dance sequences of all time. Then she sat me down to watch them. Now, I'm sitting you down to watch some of them. The grace, the athleticism, the moves will mesmerize you.
