The beauty of this sequence is that she has trained the dog to respond not to words of command but to taps and arm gestures. The dance therefore becomes a further integration of her art- to include another living creature.

This lady had it all, she was exceptionally beautiful, she had an exceptional talent, she could act and she had exceptional class. She could even out-dance Fred Astaire, I read a quote from him saying that she was the only dancer he had to work hard to keep up with. I'd love to have seen her dance with Gene Kelly, her athleticism would have fit well with his style, though he might have had the same problem Astaire did keeping up with her. It seems to me that many figure skaters must have watched videos of her and copied her movements, especially her spins. It must have been truly fantastic to see her dance in person.

Fred soloing in "god mode"??? Dancers back then were part self-choreographed and part studio-choreographed. Each dancer had their specialties that were featured. Similar things might be a result of the studio choreographers, but the dancers themselves weren't actually copying each other's work. Sets varied depending on what the movie plot/location was about. No, Fred didn't have to copy anyone! Some dancers tried to copy him!
