Le Cakewalk Inferno (directed by Georges Melies, same as Trip to the Moon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s4qP8b2wH4
The Little Colonel Stair Dance (one of my favorite dance scenes on film ever, with Bojangles and Shirley Temple): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtHvetGnOdM
The Nicholas Brothers’ Jumpin’ Jive Dance from Stormy Weather (this is incredible dancing right here!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccuhyzGjEFI
Gold Diggers of 1933: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN_JXwNudh8 (or any of the other dance sequences on YouTube for this film, Berkeley’s choreography is legendary and set the stage for much of what people would make with movement in future eras): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN_JXwNudh8
Films, for extra credit: I’d like you to watch two Fred Astaire films, Top Hat and Swing Time
