Best School Dance Scene
Since Steven Spielberg is about to release a remake the film version of the Broadway play, West Side Story (2021), (original film version: West Side Story (1961)), and since the play has a high school dance scene in it, what movie has the best SCHOOL DANCE SCENE in it? Disco style or live band style. It includes proms and homecoming too.
The dance floor is here if you got any song you want the band or DJ to play.
This poll is inspired by Breumaster’s Poll: Your Favorite Disco Sequence in a Movie. It would be cool to cast a vote in his poll too, if you want to.
Can your computer screen handle all this dancing?
