Watching the song in the rain and Astaire’s dance, I noticed Cyd Charisse, the dancer who plays the underworld woman in the dream dance. Several of her films seem to be based on ballet. I have never seen tap dance or other types. A question: Isn’t Hollywood golden age ballet incompatible with tap dancing?
In Silver Christmas, the first dance performed by Vera-Ellen and Danny, it feels that it involves many kinds of dances: first of all, I feel that his foundation is ballet, and in the middle of this dance, I see tap and ballroom dancing, in the hull of the ship. Flamenco jumped on his back. Rita Hayworth’s dance feels very relaxed and has a bit of playfulness. The flamenco in Carmen looks loose and frivolous compared to the Spanish flamenco masters. Compared with Spanish flamenco masters, Vera-Ellen also lacks the sense of uprightness and strength, perhaps because of the tone of the whole dance.
After the Silver Christmas, there was a female dancer wearing a gray and blue dress dancing, which was a bit modern dance.
