Do they not teach this anymore???
And I can't not rave about how this is one of my FAVORITE Gene Kelly dances. When I was little I didn't know the name of the movie (Summerstock) so I called it the "dancing on the table movie." A-mazing!! When I was at BYU I had to perform this ballet Esmeralda solo and there were a lot of repeats in it, which I thought was boring, but I rewatched this movie and the way Gene Kelly made each dig stick out with very subtle changes inspired me. Esmeralda was a lot more fun after that. Though with the tambourine it was already pretty awesome :)
If you don't like the grainy-ness, just press play on the side music! :)

I second the motion! I love this number- thanks Manda!
Yes, just imagine one of their leaders and or dare I say, manipulators, say a phrase, then (as they have been doing) pause, in order for those around them to repeat it for the rest of the crowd to hear?
I would dig that. I love simple analogies. ;)
