Summary: 4 Stars
I am certainly glad I purchased this DVD. There is footage that is historic as well as artistic, such as Bojangles' routine and some of the ballet dancers. I would have liked it even more if they'd done longer segments of some of the dances, rather than snippets, and if they'd chosen a better segment for Michael Jackson, such as his show-stopping live performance with his moon walk; also, I wish they'd shown Sammy Davis Jr's amazing live performance of "Mr Bojangles"--another show-stopper and awesome.
That being said, it is a superb compendium; I'm glad that it was created. It was quite an undertaking to sift through the vast array of recorded performances. The scope of the subject is so huge that there was no way they could cover everything, or please everyone. That they did such a great job is testimony to their dedication, skill, etc. I'm pleased that they included bits showing actors who weren't known for dancing; some were surprisingly good. I am especially thankful that it includes a segment showing Rudolph Nureyev leaping around the stage, leap after leap. My most treasured dance moment is/was watching him do so in a live performance, when he did seven fantastic leaps around the stage. It was the most beautiful and wonderful ballet moment I'd ever seen: power, grace, astounding height and width...
One final "I wish they'd...": Many consider the folk dance in The Sound of Music, when the Captain cuts in while his son is dancing with Maria, one of the most romantic moments ever in any movie. Too bad it wasn't shown here.
I do recommend this DVD, and have no regrets about buying it.
