Yes, I love old Fred Astaire movies. What a great dancer he was in his "ritzy shoes". Congrats on your placement in the contest, Kim.

Oh, I love this, Kim! Gene Kelly is my main guy when it comes to dance, but Fred is an oh-so-close second, as he is perfection defined! (Derek Hough is my favorite "living" dancer). What a wonderful Monoku, dedicated to The Man! Excellent write and best wishes in the contest, my friend! :-) <3

Thanks so much, Gregory! I love Derek Hough too! If you like dance look up THE WORLD OF DANCE. Zachary Everhart came in 4th place... I watched this kid from 6 weeks until 3 years old! I cried when he left. My heart was beating fast when I found out about this couple months ago. Derek Hough was one of the judges.

He was really something, Kim, and his chosen art form has faded with the times. Maybe we'll meet in Heaven and shuffle off to Buffalo together. LOL Great monoku! Best wishes in the contest.
