Since A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is gonna feature more dancing than GOT and HOTD

Here are some dance stars I can see appearing in AKOTSK in some form:

. Tamara Rojo ( Dyanna Dayne )

. Yasmine Naghdi ( Solaria Martell )

. Michael Flatley ( choreographer for the Riverlands and Vale dances, a cameo as a Vale of Arryn court dancer for the Irish Riverdance/ballet hybrid of an Arryn party )

. Darcey Bussell ( choreographer of the Westerlands dances, which is like a mix of English style ballet and Celtic folk dances, a cameo as a Casterly Rock court dancer )

. Sergei Polunin and Steve McRae ( choreographers for the North dances, which is a mix of Russian style ballet, Viking folk dances and Scottish highland and Slavic folk dances. May either appear as cameos as court dancers or even as Princes of the North or smth )

. Jace Coronado ( choreographer for the Dornish dances, cameo as a Dornish court dancer )

. Some members of the Paris Opera ballet ( like Aurelie Dupont, Sylvie Guillem, etc ) for the dances of the Reach ( which is a mix of French style ballet and Celtic folk dances )

. Some members of the La Scala Ballet ( like Roberto Bolle and Alessandra Ferri ) for the dances of the Free Cities ( which is a mix of Italian style ballet and Byzantine and Ottoman folk dances )

I didnt notice how various dance companies often worked with several franchises till recently

Chinese dance companies often work with CDramas that got dancing and wuxia elements ( with martial artists and Cirque artists as stunt people! )

For Russian movies, they often use Bolshoi, Moiseyev and Vaganova dance artists for dance scenes, and Russian Olympians and cirque artists for stunt team

Turns out a number of movies use Olympians, dancers and acrobats as stunt people

Hellaverse is just catching up ( they got a bunch of Cirque du Soleil artists and dancers from the LA/NYC ballets and Broadway Jazz contigents as stunt people/choreographers and such )

You can play no pranks with Skimbleshanks

I find it interesting how despite people disliking the Cats movie, we can all agree that Steve McRae was the best part of the entire thing. Besides Gus the Theater Cat and Memory, Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat is the only scene was is any good. In fact, it’s the only scene that seems to be shot well! Skimble’s song is one of my favorites and oddly, Tom Hooper remembered that the song is upbeat and bright. Not to mention Steve is giving it his all with that tap dancing.

It’s a shame the rest of the movie wasn’t as good.

I would just like to thank @ruvyru for blessing me with these pictures of Steve McRae and adding ten years to my lifespan
