hans petrovic
Ruby Keller (above) taps her way through Manhattan in miniature for the title song and dance from “42nd Street,” one of the many classic Hollywood musicals featured in "That’s Dancing,” which will start at the Academy tomorrow. “That’s Dancing” is tap, jazz, ballet, modern, ballroom, softshoe, Charleston, Latin, disco, breaking and everything else in between. It includes virtually every form of dance ever captured on Him, from the serious to the shimsical,
from the merely dazzling to the seemingly ’ impossible, from the silent era through to toda&s youthful and exuberanFdance forms. The invention of the
motion picture camera created new ways to present . dance, and “That’s Dancing” celebrates innovators like Busby Berkeley, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins and Bob Fosse. Its performers span the generations, from Isadora Duncan to Shirley MacLaine, from Eleanor Powell to Mikhail Baryshnikov from Ruby Keeler to Marine Jahan, from James Cagney to John 1 Travolta ■< from Rob- f inson to Michael Jackson.
