I loves it.
This will be quite 'light' because it's Gershwin, so it'll have lots of Fred and Ginger stuff. Contemporary's good if you've never been. Akram Khan, look out for him. Does musical collaborations with Nitin Sawhney and that.

Gotta love a bit of Gershwin
We went to see a production of Top Hat last week (yes I know that was Irving Berlin), very entertaining. It's still touring. The ensemble pieces are terrific, although it stars Tom Chambers as Jerry, and he's not QUITE Fred Astaire.

Fuming.

I watched it two weeks ago!
I prefer Gene as a dancer though.

BLASPHEMY
Not that I couldn't watch Le Kelly for hours, obviously, but I prefer Fred because of the chemistry he had with Ginger and later with Cyd Charisse.

Gene and Syd though!!!
I think Fred was technically spot on but Gene had that little extra sass and flare. And a gorgeous bum.

Hahaha
That's a very fair appraisal. I think I'm more inclined towards liking Fred for exactly that reason, the flawless technique, and the superb partnerships. Comes of being a Ballroom dancer. Or a poof.

Mind you, Fred never danced with a cartoon mouse
