The Nicholas Brothers in Stormy Weather

If I had to choose the greatest dance sequence in a movie of all time, it would be Nicholas Brothers' dance to Cab Calloway's "Jumpin' Jive" I'm not alone in thinking that. No less than Fred Astaire called the sequence the greatest he had ever seen. What makes this sequence all the more remarkable is that it was filmed in one take. It wasn't even rehearsed. Such was the talent of the Nicholas Brothers that they could create the greatest dance sequence of all time without practising it or rehearsing it.

Watch the clip below and you will see what I mean.
