Let's dance

Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, plus countless others, including the ones below.  I couldn't find a way to embed Let's Dance, so let's watch it on YouTube.  Whoever put this montage of dancers together has a wonderful sense of music.  Oh, and it starts with ballet and a little Riverdance, and includes Charlie Chaplin, the Three Stooges, Shirley Temple, Dancing with the Stars, and the Yellow Brick Road.

Gene Kelly "Singin' in the Rain"

John Travolta in "Grease"

Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk

Elvis Presley in "Jailhouse Rock"

Maggie said (on Facebook) that the Nicholas Brothers were among the dancers. Not recognizing the name, I googled and found a Wikipedia page with a photo of the very scene from the video:
