Let's Dance

Have you seen any of the Dance Mashup videos making the rounds?  These videos feature old movie clips of folks dancing to a song such as Footloose (click here.)  When I searched YouTube for the Footloose Mashup, I found this one that was also very well done.

Nice thing about this particular video, one of the commentators took the time to list all of the actors/dancers shown in it.  Try following along as the video plays however, but I doubt that you will be able to keep up with who’s who because the action moves pretty fast.  If you don’t believe me, just watch.
