Ginger Rogers
What dance did Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers do to Irving Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek" in the movie Top Hat.
That is ballroom dancing at its finest, and you don't see it like that any more.
I heard a wonderful comment once, on the Rogers/Astaire dancing team. Someone commented on what a great dancer Fred Astaire was, and the response was, "Yes, he was pretty good, but Ginger did it wearing high heels and backwards!"
