12 Best Dance Numbers In Movies, Ranked

The history of dance numbers in cinema is not limited to musical movies, and though there are numerous examples of great showstopping choreography on screen, only a few scenes rise to the status of the very best. A dance sequence can take many forms and often employs a recognizable and catchy song to capture the attention of the audience. Equally important — whether it’s in one of the best dance movies or a film that just happens to have a single memorable dance number — are the choreography and the performances of the dancers on screen.
