Cosmopolitan's 46 Best Dance Movies of All Time

"Let's face it: real life would be so much better if everyone broke out into spontaneous—and highly choreographed—dance routines at any given moment, but at least we can watch it happen on our screens. Dance movies are basically sports movies, if you do them right. An important subcategory of the musical genre, dance movies are showcases for a ton of technical prowess on display along with intense drama. Rather than enhance character development and storylines through silly old dialogue, it's way more fun to witness a triumphant pirouette or high-stakes breakdance battle. So on that note, we've crafted a definitive list of some of the best classic dance films, in no particular order—minus film adaptations of Broadway musicals, because that's a category for another day. So curl up with a bag of popcorn and watch some very in-shape people dance their hearts out without even breaking a sweat. Win-win!" - cosmopolitan.com
