10 Greatest Dance Movies of All Time

1. "DIRTY DANCING" (1987)

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner!” Spending the summer in the 1960s Catskills with her family, Baby (Jennifer Grey) learns a thing or two about dirty dancing and falls for the resort’s dashing dancing teacher (Patrick Swayze).

2. "FOOTLOOSE" (1984)

Kevin Bacon plays the city boy who comes to a small town where rock music and dancing have been banned — and gets them to boogie in the streets. An ’80s dance staple!

3. "WEST SIDE STORY" (1961)

This movie musical revolutionized dancing onscreen, under the expert hand of Jerome Robbins.

4. "FLASHDANCE" (1983)

Jennifer Beals is the “Maniac” who gave torn sweatshirts a whole new meaning in this great dance flick. She plays a Pittsburgh woman with two jobs — as a welder and an exotic dancer — who wants to get into ballet school.

5. "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" (1977)

The Bee Gees and John Travolta took disco dancing to a whole other level in this classic dance movie. That, and white leisure suits.

6. "SINGIN' IN THE RAIN" (1952)

No one can forget Gene Kelly’s classic stomp in the rain, but the film is chock full of memorable dance sequences — from Donald O’Connor’s acrobatics in “Make ’Em Laugh” and the big finale number, featuring Cyd Charisse.

7. "TOP HAT" (1935)

A best dance movie list would not be complete without a Fred Astaire movie, and while there are many to choose from, we pick “Top Hat.” His indelible style is set, as he dances with his legendary partner Ginger Rogers.

8. "WHITE NIGHTS" (1985)

Two of the world’s best dancers, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines, combine their two very different dance styles of ballet and tap in this ’80s drama. A classic!

9. "SAVE THE LAST DANCE" (2001)

A small-town girl (Julia Stiles), who wants to be a ballerina, moves to Chicago and learns some new dance steps from a local (Sean Patrick Thomas).

10. "STEP UP" (2006)

Real-life marrieds Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan steam it up on the dance floor in the original “Step Up,” as mismatched partners, who turn a traditional dance school on its ear.
