Eleanor Powell - cowboy tap Western Rope
Video sent by tapdanceEleanor Powell, Queen of Tap, in the film 'I dood It'. This is the musical number 'So Long Sarah Jane', also known as the Western Rope Dance. She is with Bob Eberly here. Oh, and Jimmy Dorsey's Orchestra. By the way, I read somewhere that Eleanor kicked herself unconscious while filming this routine. The end bit with the lasso ropes is great. Was there something she couldn't do?
