I Wanna Be A Dancin Man 1952 That s Entertainment 1974 Fred Astaire in The Belle of New York, narrated by Ann Miller: Fred had to redo the dance because they didn t think his original barbershop costume fit his debonair screen appearance. These near mirror images really show how well he knew all of his dances (It s recorded that Mr. Astaire would rehearse his dance numbers dozens of times to get them perfect )
