Invitation to the Dance (MGM,1956)

In my opinion a top ten, absolutely not to be missed. Conceived, directed, choreographed and performed by Gene Kelly, it won the Berlin Film Festival! It's divided into three parts: "Circus" (modern and Ballet) with Kelly, Igor Youskevitch and Claire Sombert. Music by Jacques Ibert.
"Ring Around the Rosy" (Jazz,Tap,Ballet) the most extraordinary part, starring Gene Kelly, Tamara Toumanova, Igor Youskevitch, Claude Bessy, Tommy Rall, Irving Davies and Diana Adams. Music by André Previn.
"Sinbad the Sailor" (modern and Tap) live action and animation, performed by Kelly and David Kasday. Music by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

Kiss Me Kate(MGM,1953)

Great musical. Direction (by George Sidney) and script are good, sets, costumes and colors are beautiful, and the song numbers are nice, but above all, the dance numbers are masterpieces. Music by Cole Porter.

The beautiful dance number performed by Tommy Rall and Ann Miller. Choreography by Hermes Pan.
