Fine, jerks

I just have to say...I think this is probably the most successful Hump Day Survey yet. Here it is Friday and you're all still posting vids!

One more to add to the mix:

It's so good. It was on my short list, but I had to stop somewhere, yeah?

Did anyone post

?

Aaaaaand I forgot (until now) the song I adore with my own name in it.

Seriously, I am feeling a bit of pressure to come up with another topic this good next week!

DD, I was coming here to yell at the person who bumped a Wednesday thread on a Tuesday, but you're allowed to.

HAPPY HUMP DAY courtesy of a Tuffalobuffalo suggestion!

What's the best scene in a movie involving dancing?

Specifically, the scene where a gruff authority figure says the line:

"Anyone caught battle dancing will be arrested and sent to jail."

So much energy.

There are quite a few I didn't post because the question is "best", but some notable ones for me include:

Springtime for Hitler from The Producers
The Spanish Inquisition from History of the World Part I
The ballroom scene from Disney's Beauty and the Beast
John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever
Several scenes from Dirty Dancing
The Bucket from Flashdance

and plenty more I can't remember at this hour.

I was going to post a scene from a Disney movie too but then I reread and saw it has to be from a movie about dancing. Whoops. And I have no excuse, it's past 1pm.

Best scene... in a movie involving dancing, or

Best scene in a movie... involving dancing

I vote for #2. :)

That's how I read it the first time!!! Then I reconsidered. But if we're going with "best scene involving dancing in a movie", I want to recant my edit and post the scene in Pulp Fiction.

I vote for #2, bring on all the dance scenes.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. Hence:

Also, I slowly realizing in these surveys that I never actually think about "best" in the sense that it's #1 of all time. It's usually the first one that pops into my head. So, I guess I think of whatever is most memorable for me.

The great thing about this thread is that there are no rules about posting more than one answer

Yes, best dance scene in a movie. "Best" used loosely because it's more fun to throw a bunch out there

Wow, they must've went after this hard on YouTube because just about everything on there is other people doing the dance. Anyway, this is a requisite post for this topic!

And some are the Blood Elf from WoW doing that dance.

Yes, Grenn beat me to that as well.

edit to actually add to the conversation.

Our Robocop Remake, interpretive dance scene.

I'd post Jessica Alba's dance in Sin City but it's NSFW and I wouldn't want to be walking around my place of employment with a raging boner.

Instead I'll submit Pulp Fiction.

I love garion's Napoleon Dynamite suggestion. I'll also throw this one out there:

EDIT: DAMMIT, first time I've ever been Tannhausered! Well played, sir...

It will be far, far from the last.

NSFW

Honestly, I don't get the fondness over this movie, but I am surprised I haven't seen this yet (probably because this is very much a Tanglebones style nomination).
