A Tribute to Fred Astaire


What were the names of Hollywood's most famous dancing couple? That would only be a $100 question on the Millionaire show. Everyone knows that it was Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. He elegantly danced his way through dozens of movies with and without Miss Rogers. In his later life he continued to appear in non musicals, even earning an acting Oscar nomination. He made it seem like anyone could do that fancy footwork. So grab a broom and we'll cue the music for Destination Hollywood's toe tapping Tribute to Fred Astaire.


New on DVD


Fred Astaire's classic movie, Ziegfeld Follies , is available on DVD.

What's New


Apparently business is booming at the Fred Astaire Franchised Dance Studios (which Fred Astaire founded in 1947) They have a great website. You can even take a free online dance lesson. Go ahead, we did it. Now we know how to do The Swing.
