    Default Dance legends

    Flamenco

    Awesome short performance by Carmen Amaya in London, 1944. Never saw a woman dance flamenco like her, and never will.

    Ballet

    In contrast to all that unbeatable passion, ballerina Anna Pavlova. I don't fancy women in a tutu at all, but this was not a woman, this was a dying swan.

    American swing

    I end the first post of this thread with Fred Astaire, in a great cool dance here with a Margarita Cansino (that is, Rita Hayworth) in her prime, to the tune of Elvis' bossanova song, which was obviously not the one in the You were never lovelier film, but which fits nicely.

    Those are great videos, Italian. It would be better if you embedded them in here (by just adding the part of the link after the = sign).

    I cant find the documentry or clips from it anywhere.....nor does it pop up in di Sica's filmography.....i imagine he did it to pay of some of his gambling debts...but it was interesting all the same.

    I love dancing and dance a lot.Never took dance classes though. But since childhood I would always gather big audience to watch me, people would find my dancing style very unusual but very beautiful. When I grew up I realised my style is similar to legendary Isadora Duncan when you dance with your soul.As they say it is a language of movement.

    over 300 individuals that have already been tested, revealing that the Armenian branches of DNA are at the root of many branches in Europe.

    Armenians belong to 13 distinct genetic groups that go back tens of thousands of years, while at the same time there is no trace of invaders in their DNA in the last 4000 years
