Cyd Charisse: Putting the Gold in Golden Age

April 04, 2016

Baby, if I'm your White Rabbit for the day then you are in for a treat that has nothing to do with the Mad Hatter, although there are men and hats involved. Follow this tail to freedom because I am about to send you down a virtual hole of Cyd Charisse goodness that makes me reminisce for a time when there was such a thing as the "resident MGM ballet dancer" and underlines this fact that sits at the center of what I love about dance:

Nobody can do you like you can.

So cheers to style, to having a stamp, to being a chameleon without ever losing yourself, and to legs. Cheers to legs.

And I'll end by quoting Fred Astaire: "That Cyd! When you've danced with her you stay danced with."

Enjoy.
