One of the best dance routines I’ve ever watched.

The Nicholas Brothers

I believe these gentlemen are scientifically classified as a liquid.

Didn’t they use these dudes to help animate some of the dancing in Betty Boop?

[lordkevington-deactivated-deact]

Correct!

Even more, they utilized Cab Calloway (the band leader) and used the same rotoscoped piece of him dancing in almost 20 of their shorts!

Amazing

Tap is such an exciting form of dance.

It gets better. These are the Nicholas Brothers. They did this unrehearsed, in one take.

Legendary Nicholas Brothers Dance Routine Was Unrehearsed and Filmed in One Take

This is one of the best dance routines in history, and it was all done in one take without any rehearsals!

When I saw the video I thought `in they way they danced that I saw them in something different before`. And here it is. I love how thier dancing imitates a locomotive in this version of Chattanoga choo choo. Also thier singing is much more enjoyable.
