They first met each other when Lisa was 14 at his mom's dance studio and got married when she was 19. They have been dancing together for a very long time and it shows.

  • I like this list, and am particularly pleased that it includes Christopher Walken, a professional-caliber tap dancer. One unforgivable omission is Neve Campbell, who was offered a position with the Joffrey Ballet after filming The Company. That offer acknowledges her commitment to hundreds of hours of extremely hard work, and must be applauded. A personal Honorable Mention: Christina Applegate, whose unchoreographed frivolity runs with the credits of both View From the Top and The Sweetest Thing. The girl has great rhythm, and an extremely mobile torso.

    • Those 3 men being dancers surprised me. Thank you! I have seen videos of Steve Martin playing banjo. The tap dancing surprised me. Charles Durning was an actor with an amazing repertoire of skills. Comedy, drama, etc. He was in NCIS, as a WWII veteran. It was so powerful of an episode I just had to buy it off Amazon. Robert Duvall was in alot of movies. The one that I watch when needing a lift is “Secondhand Lions”. He had serious moves in the fight scene against 4(?) 20-something boys. It should have not been surprising to be told he was a dancer.

    • You might want to look at videos of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. He was a perfectionist and they would do 42 takes before he was satisfied. There was also no cutting. Every dance was done in one take. Amazing! And you also might look at some of the black dancers in the movie cotton club. The Nicholas Brother and others will astound you! Tap with Greg Hines will knock your socks off when you see these older dancers. Enjoy!
