Fred Astaire’s Ceiling Dance – 1951

Lionel Richie has a very famous song named Dancing on the Ceiling. Although that song speaks about doing the impossible, you will actually see it being done in this video! This ceiling dance is done by none other than Fred Astaire, and it comes from his 1951 appearance in the movie, Royal Wedding. It is something amazing to watch!

Dancing has been a part of our culture since the earliest of times. In ancient days, dance was part of a religious practice but it was also done for entertainment. Today, we dance for many reasons, including for exercise and for fun!
