Fred Astaire
(he didn't mention any particular performance, just said they were inspired by him in general so I just picked two notable performances as an example)

*here he performs Cyd Charise*

The Bandwagon (1953)
"The Girl Hunt Ballet"
Fred Astaire 2
"especially with Astaire, we loved how it seemed so effortless yet a bit throwaway, not totally perfect always."

*with Ginger Rogers*

The Barkley's of Broadway (1949)
"Bouncing The Blues"
The Nicholas Brothers
*musical performance by Cab Calloway and his orchestra*

"That is probably one of the most standout dance sequences ever captured on film--"

Stormy Weather (1943)
"Jumpin Jive"
Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor

" we loved the camaraderie between them, which felt a bit goofball at times"

Singin' in the Rain (1952)
"Moses Supposes"
