We’re impressed by how passionate our readers are about cinematic dance sequences. After reviewing the list of 35 dance numbers that we came up with last week, you took to the comments and let us know about all of the great moments we didn’t include in our roundup. To remedy this, we’re back with 25 more great dance sequences in film, most of them generated by you (thanks, btw). Check out the list after the jump, and see if your favorite made it this time around.

I really enjoyed these. Just think, they could move that fast and still keep their clothes on. Very talented people.
What a great way to spend a Saturday morning! It’s so interesting to watch the expression in each type of dance. Thank you for such a fantastic idea because we have the “beat” in each of us, no matter the times we were born. Love it!!
if you ever do another list, i’d like to suggest the final dance number from An American in Paris (long, but mind blowing), any number of scenes from White Christmas, “Time Warp” from Rocky Horror Picture Show, and just because it exists, the weird dance segment from Spiderman 3.
