Let Gene Kelly show you how it's done

After all that news from Maine what could be better than a few videos for mental health. A blogger, tired of the relentless news, posted a few famous clips of dancing from the movies. Responders included their own favorites. Astaire and Rogers (with a floating dress), the Nicholas Brothers tap-dancing up a storm, Gene Kelly tap-dancing on roller skates. In addition to Gene Kelly's version of Singing in the Rain, there is a side-by-side video with R&B star Usher doing the same dance. Even Charlie Chaplin on roller skates beside a gaping hole. Alas, these videos show the limitations of the quality of YouTube images. You either see a tiny image or a big grainy one. I'd give a pass to the "Weapon of Choice." The music playing with Laurel and Hardy is definitely not original.
