Top 10 movie dance choreography moments

Every dancer – or dance enthusiast out there – will watch the same dance films over and over again trying to match the choreography that the dancers and actors are doing. Some may be easy, some may be a little tougher and some may be a completely different dance form that none of us would ever think to try.

Since the beginning of the movie industry, dance numbers have been a favorite part of musicals, remakes and even simple movies with a random dance sequence. And since then, more movies have become available surrounding the dance community showing off the talent and skill that these performers have.

TheCelebrityCafe.com is taking a look at the top ten best dance choreographies from the past three decades and counting down our favorites that we still can’t get enough of.

From Honey to Dirty Dancing, let us know what films made your list.
