List: Top 3 Dance Scenes

This week on Episode 298 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Suspiria, we thought it would be fun to talk about the best dance scenes in film. Many dance scenes have earned classic status over the years, even ones from non-musicals, so there were some great moments to choose from for this topic. At first, we thought we may have exhausted our efforts by limiting this topic to non-musicals only, that was until we posted this topic on Twitter and got LOADS of responses from a variety of great dance sequences from many different films; thus, we had plenty to work with. And with us at InSession Film having sung the praises of musicals many times before, it was refreshing to dance a slightly different tune this time. That said, here are our lists:

(Note: Please keep in mind that we each had different criteria for our selections)

1) Space Dance – Wall-E
