Best Dance Sequence on Film!


At the proposed introduction of Imani to Akeem the dance troupe pulled off one of the sexiest dynamic sequances EVER! some hot ass girls with the colour exhuding the culture of the dance, perfectly choreographed expertly expressed on film.

Indeed. I think Paula Abdul did the choreography for that secene.

I go nuts when I see that opening dance sequence! It is absolutely stunning---so are the dancers.

reply

She did. It's in the credits. And, I agree, great sequence!

Beautiful scene. It reminds me a lot of the African dancers in the scene of the Elizabeth Taylor version of Cleopatra. This is the scene where there is a procession for her entry to Rome. https://youtu.be/tNjrfXOgZkM?t=1m35s

I guess you have never seen any of the great musicals from the 1930s through 1950s. You know--Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, and all those people?

Sorry liscarkat but these people are straight. But you have fun with Fred and Gene!
