Tuesday at the Movies




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Welcome to our exploration of musical films that celebrate the art of dance! In this series, we will be watching a selection of films that not only captivate with their enchanting melodies and engaging narratives, but also showcase exceptional choreography and high-energy dance performances. From classic gems to contemporary masterpieces, these musicals highlight the transformative power of dance, weaving it seamlessly into their storytelling to evoke emotion, convey character, and celebrate the joy of movement. We will view: Singing in the Rain (1952, Stanley Donen); Top Hat (1935, Mark Sandrich); Silk Stockings (1957, Rouben Mamoulian); An American in Paris (1951, Vincente Minnelli); Funny Girl (1968, William Wyler); In the Heights (2021, John Chu); Cabaret (1972, Bob Fosse); Guys and Dolls (1955, Joseph Mankiewicz); All That Jazz (1979, Bob Fosse); Chicago (2002, Rob Marshall); Saturday Night Fever (1977, John Badham); FAME (1980, Alan Parker); Dirty Dancing (1986, Emile Ardolino): and Grease (1978, Randal Kleiser). We watch each week's movie in advance of the class. Participants must obtain the movies on their own, which can usually be found through streaming services or from their local library on DVD or Kanopy. Discussions will be led by class participants. Let's dance!!
