number 10 Golden Years A Knight's Tale

the noble lady Jocelyn doesn't know that

sir Ulrich the night is really the lowly

Squire William Thatcher in Disguise at a

dance party for the nobility his rival

count adamar tries to catch him in his

lie

why don't you show us all a dance of

your country

show us a dance of gelderland

little does he know William has

practiced some sweet dance moves and

won't be giving up his ruse that easily

this medieval movie is filled with

anachronisms from the music to the

dancing to the hairstyles

[Music]

foreign

this particular dance sequence starts

out slow stilted and formal but when

David Bowie overtakes the loots and

Liars the dancers loosen up and start

having fun

[Music]

Number Nine Irish dance Titanic the

lover decks are a completely different

world from the upper class one rose is

used to

wait

I can't do this we're gonna have to get

a little bit closer like this

and this raucous party is her first real

introduction to it while Cal and the

other Richie riches enjoy a quiet

evening talking politics Rose finds

herself at home among the third class

passengers

[Music]

[Applause]

she can drink like them and she can hold

her own on the Dance Floor oh and did we

mention that young Leo DiCaprio is there

too who wouldn't choose a party like

this over Brandy and cigars in the

smoking room

[Music]

number eight Sing Sing Swing Kids in

late 1930s Germany listening to anything

other than German music came with risks

Swing Kids inspired by real events

followed three young friends who deal

with the pressure to support Nazi

ideology without giving up their love

for swing music and dancing

try to understand

man riding the waves of the early 90s

swing Revival this film is packed with

crazy high energy dance numbers most of

which take place at the boy's favorite

Club the Bismarck

[Music]

[Applause]

still none is as wild and frenetic as

the very first number Sing Sing With a

Swing it's a pulse-pounding Louis Prima

song with an amazing drum solo that sets

the tone for the entire film

[Music]

[Applause]

number seven ain't my type of hype house

party

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

when the parents are away the high

schoolers will play in this case they

might hit and play Peter play Martin has

the house to himself and he's determined

to host the party of the decade when his

best friend kid tries to show off his

dance moves he gets put in his place by

two girls he's interested in his dance

partner Groove can't even stay upright

so play jumps in to save the battle and

the result is one of the greatest Dance

Off in cinema history

[Music]

for a long time hip-hop culture and

diverse groups of black characters were

rare science on the big screen making

house party not just a great dance movie

but a cultural milestone

[Music]

number six prom Footloose

is that

you've heard the saying dance like no

one's watching well these kids dance

like it's illegal because it is in the

tiny rural town of Beaumont dancing and

rock music are banned but that's not

going to stop big city newcomer Ren from

getting his groove on although ran is

unsuccessful in convincing the Town

Council to overturn the ban we know that

thanks for him Beaumont will never be

the same

[Music]

the movie culminates in a prom held at a

Grain Mill just outside the town limit

that features some epic dancing plus

Ren's moves were even more entertaining

when Kevin Bacon and Eric McCormack

recreated them 20 years later in an

episode of Will and Grace

[Applause]

number five Mambo West Side Story

[Music]

when you can't have a real battle

sometimes the next best thing is a dance

battle glad hand a social worker hopes

the dance will bring the two rival gangs

together but of course the Jets and the

Sharks end up fighting over Turf on the

Dance Floor just as they do on the

streets

oh

each group brings their own style to the

dance giving every participant a chance

to show off their skills nothing

captures the feeling of love at first

sight like when Tony and Maria spy each

other from across the room and

everything else becomes a blur

number four thriller 13 going on 30.

there's nothing worse than getting stuck

at a dull work party if only someone

would start an incredibly synchronized

dance to one of the most iconic pop

songs of all time the party is a stinker

a dud a flap a zero on a scale of one to

ten

maybe if somebody played something other

than this something with a Melody that's

exactly what happens when Jenna saves a

boring company get-together by Leading

everyone in the Thriller dance

[Music]

if Jenna's dancing seems a little

immature that's because she's secretly a

13 year old trapped in the body of her

future 30 year old self really though

the whole thing works because Jenna is

so childlike and unself-conscious

[Music]

I wonder

she's not trying to do the dance

perfectly she's just trying to have fun

although they're not quite as smooth or

coordinated as the King of Pop we're

impressed that so many of her co-workers

remembered all the moves at all

number three the time warp The Rocky

Horror Picture Show imagine being

stranded at night in a rainstorm your

cold wet scared and then you stumble

onto this

[Music]

recalling

[Music]

when straight laced Brad and Janet

happen upon the Mansion of Dr

frankenfurter they're in for more than

just a wild dance party in a movie

Musical full of incredibly catchy songs

somehow the time warp is the most

infectious even with the star of the

movie not making an appearance in it

[Music]

best of all the song teaches you the

dance moves as you go so you can do the

time warp again and again

[Music]

number two Hand Jive grease this

performance isn't just a fantastically

high energy dance number it also packs

all the drama of high school into one

five minute scene

enough

[Music]

[Applause]

the romance is the betrayals the Nerds

the bullies it's all in there and it all

goes wildly off the rails while everyone

is competing to win the national

Bandstand dance-off the host is creeping

on the contestants and the teachers are

helpless to keep things under control

Danny and Sandy enter The Fray with

brilliant chemistry but when Sunny

steals Danny's date the latter is a

little too quick to latch onto the next

girl up but in this case the devious

Chacha di Gregorio Chacha only cares

about winning and with a young John

Travolta as her partner no one else

stands a chance

[Music]

[Applause]
