The Time is Right for Dancing

Summertime!  Some of this dancing will be in the streets.  But not all.

I will start close to home--in Brooklyn.  This will get your dancin' genes riled up:

Here comes a fictional New York, and a performance that can only be described as magical:

Heading west, let's stop in Chicago for a summertime parade:

While we are in a nightclub, since this is a crime writing blog, let's have a noir ballet staring the dancer that Fred Astaire called the greatest ever:

Okay, now for LA.  Lots of dancing there.  Let's end with the Beguine, and the pinnacle, starring a rare combination of the two best dancers in Hollywood:

I could go on and on.  There is lot of great dancing to choose from on YouTube.  And just in case you thought I posted this subject to save time, you would be wrong.   The research for this took hours.  I had to sit here and watch scores of movie clips.  Truth to tell, I needed cheering up.  Putting this together made me happy.  I hope this post has done the same for you.
