The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing

[Bluediamonds09]

Look up Vera Ellen on YouTube, she's a very underrated dancer from old Hollywood movies.
I'd love love love to see an ice dance routine to this song, it's so cute! From the movie White Christmas. The beeeest things.......happen while you're daaaaancing......ok, so maybe I'm hyped up cuz I haven't seen this film in ages. But wouldn't this be great for the short dance one year?

I agree 100%. She and Danny Kaye were spectacular in that movie. Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney rounded a stellar cast. I watch it every holiday season. Here's their fabulous dance number...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax66QU8pvtA

What a great idea. The music has several different tempos. I'd be on board with this and I'd insist that it needs to be Danny Kaye singing! This would have been great for the RD either/both the past 2 years.

Unpopular opinion: I watched White Christmas for the first time ever last December, and I couldn't stand it. Sorry, @mrrice. I hated the song "Sisters," and then they kept doing it over and over!

Then again, I am not a good example because I can't stand most of the sentimental Christmas favorites. Bah humbug. The only Christmas movie I re-watch every year is the musical version of "Scrooge" starring Albert Finney, Alec Guinness, and Anton Rodgers.

ETA: oh, and It's a Wonderful Life.

I'm shocked!

I watch White Christmas during the holidays just to see that fun dance sequence with Vera Ellen and Danny Kaye.

I’m more extreme. I adore Vera Ellen but have no attachment to Christmas movies (or Christmas!) whatsoever. So I just put her name into the Youtube search box, any season of the year
