Gene said on Johnny Carson that this was the most difficult dance he rehearsed for. He made it look so easy. That’s the mark of genius

This is by far (in my opinion) Geny Kelly's best dance ever crafted. The coreagraphy is amazing and so original. It was one of the most difficult dances Gene had to shoot, yet he does it so effortsly. You could really see the love and passion he had for his work.

Athleticism, grace, good looks. The whole package.

[isabelhoch]

It always looks like he’s playing a joke with the floor and I love that so much

Unimaginably good. Gene and Astaire will forever be the standards against whom all dancing will be compared.

[Realmasterorder]

Amazing for its time, just so classy stylish and really still timeless

[diadegior]

His genius as a dancer transcends the boundaries of time.
His creativity and beauty in dance will always be remembered.

He was just born to dance, it is an extension of who he is. Makes everything look so easy. He is one of the most talented dancers in the world. And he always had the ability as well as the stage presence and that is what makes him special. Some dancers are very talented but with no stage presence but when you have it no one can stop watching. 🙂💗

Gene Kelly was born in the year 1912 and I was in the year 1962. He was pure talent, masterful, creative, phenomenal and great. R.I.P Gene ...

[Vincenzo-wnor]

He performed some of the most original dance scenes and choreography! Not just dancing for the sake of throwing in some dance.

[jacklynlopez]

Summer Stock has always been my favorite Judy Garland movie. :) She had superb chemistry with Gene.

[sieverts]

3:55 is my most favourite part of any tap dance sequence. He pulls it off amazingly.

[BovineDesigns]

I love how much fun he had with every role. He just makes me want to jump up and dance.
