Dancing Perfectly Free

Last week, Flavorwire posted thirty-five of the best dance scenes in film, with all thirty-five videos embedded in the post and arranged in chronological order.  The list includes scenes from Swing Time, Saturday Night Fever, The Red Shoes, Dirty Dancing, and three scenes from West Side Story, choreographed and co-directed by Jerome Robbins.  After receiving so many comments about scenes that didn’t make the list, Flavorwire posted another twenty-five best dance scenes in film.  Here are a few of my favorites, along with a personal favorite that didn’t make the list, from the 1960 film version of Peter Pan.  This scene (which has its fair share of Native American stereotypes) features the dynamite Sondra Lee as Tiger Lily and choreography by Robbins.
