Dancers who brought tap, ballroom and jazz dance to the Broadway stage and the Hollywood musical film, and whose partnerships, choreography and screen presence defined the American dance musical. Their partnerships and solo numbers, in films such as Top Hat, Swing Time, Singin in the Rain and An American in Paris, set the standard for dance on screen, and each of them also sang and acted, in a career that carried tap, ballroom and jazz dance from the stage into millions of homes.
