Movie Musical Appreciation Week

I have always loved the Barn Dance number from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers but I admit, I especially love it now because my father-in-law is one of those brothers. That’s him above, Jacques d’Amboise, flashing his 20-year-old toothy grin.

This number, choreographed by Michael Kidd, is again great storytelling through dance. Sounds simple but it’s hard to do well and really hard to do legendarily well. This is one of those legendarily well instances.

Here they are in all their glory- bless their beautiful hides.
