Dancers Digest - dance-themed or featuring notable dances.
Dance-themed movies or movies that feature dancing, putting a smile on my face. I hope they do the same for you too.
I am the original owner of the Dancers Digest, founded in 1992. I lost my business, and the website along with it, when I became terminally ill. So I am staying happy vicariously by watching other people dancing while trying to gain back my websites.
I am not diligent with updating my IMDb lists. Please don't forget to follow, bookmark, and check back every now and then. Also, please share this list with someone who might enjoy it.
The list is in chronological order. If you follow my lists and want to watch the latest additions, please sort the list by "Date added."
