About Dancing Stars
Hollywood musicals were built on people who could really dance, and the camera mostly stayed back to let them do it. Fred Astaire insisted on full-figure shots with few cuts, so you saw the whole step in one take. Gene Kelly splashed through a rainstorm in 1952, and Ray Bolger flopped around Oz in 1939 on legs that seemed to have no bones.
