If you love to watch dancing by masters - those that don’t need CGI or spliced takes etc to make them look good - check out these hoofers

The Nicholas Brothers - probably the best tappers ever. These are the guys that Astaire and Sammy Davis Jr., themselves among the best, looked up to as their betters and this clip absolutely shows why - flawless timing.

 

Eleanor Powell from 1941’s “Lady be Good”. This is the directors version - split screen so you can see that it really a one take and see all the action going on behind the scenes to make it work flawlessly.

 

The Inimitable Sammy Davis Jr. and other great masters like Bill “Bojangles” Robinson
