The way they danced unaware of the floor opening up behind them, immersed in their shared joy while coming within a step of falling in, captures a lot of what the movie is about. The way we find happiness and strive to live while knowing, and often forgetting, how fragile all of it is. What a beautiful visual metaphor, and an exciting one to watch.

This scene looked terrific in the colorized version of the film .. I know it's a minor detail but to see the color of the pool along with everything else being in color was quire magical .. Even the scene prior to this one when George is having dinner with his father we can actually see the green in the vegetables they are eating and so many other details .. I understand that 99% of ppl would say the b&w og version is the one to watch. But I really enjoyed seeing this Xmas classic in color. I think the transfer is nothing short of outstanding and really adds new life to the film.

We were forced to swim for PE my freshman year, and I get the impression that no one wants to swim because then you have to rush to get dressed for your next class. If they built a "swim gym floor" there, then you don't let the gym coaches have the key to open the floor and they can't make anyone swim.
