Growing up with my parents, musicals were one of the favorite types of movies we watched (and John Wayne and Abbot & Costello, but they are not important here). Gene Kelly, Astaire and Rogers, and many others. This is a clip from one of my favorites, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The energy and athleticism in this is just remarkable.

This was one of my mothers favorite shows...we watched it over and over. I am still blessed today to hear her sing to all the classics even tho I would just roll my eyes at the other kids back then. :)
