After An Amazing Meal, We Begin Dancing Again!
The band played a little bit of everything and the "Ten Step Polka" is always a hit!
MPG kept the music lively all evening long!
Cutting the rug; Oops! No rugs here!
Empty seats means they are on the dance floor!
Having a wonderful time!
Rip roaring good times
The Sax was magnificent this evening.
The left their desserts on the table to dance... wow!!
Did You Know? - How did Fred Astaire "pick up" the dropped canes in the filmed "Puttin' on the Ritz" dance routine? As others have said, the cane was shot up from the floor with jets of air. Of course this meant that the cane had to be placed very carefully on the holes in the floor. You can tell this is happening:
The first time, Astaire kicks the cane way off screen, then dances over to it; this gives someone time to place it (or maybe an identical cane) in exactly the right spot.
The second time is even more noticeable. Astaire drops the cane, stamps on it a few times, then dances way off to his left and back again; again, someone moves the cane to the exact spot during the time we can't see it. But in this case we see the cane before and after, and If you look closely you can see that it has moved between the time that Astaire dances off and the time he returns.
