Its good to see.that at least one scene from one of the break dancing movies was included; they always seem to be ignored(how can you go into 80's dancing and forget breakdancing?!) That being said, I would add more: the broom dance scene and the end scene(Street Jazz) from the first Breakin', the fund raising performance from Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo. And defiintely the Roxy battle from Beat Street, as well as the subway battle and Ramon's memorial.

Dirty dancing’s best is do you love me from the beginning
@sammychicken4290 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Great dances in Xanadu
@judypierce7028 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
I thought you might mention the dance in "Michael."
@thetruthhurts122 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Dirty Dancing the most memorable.
To the double actor of the Flashdance, gives credit when the credit is due.
@Linda-pq9uf July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Two of a kind and Perfect are two movies that I remember that had memorable dance scenes during the 80s that were not mentioned. Both with John Travolta the first with Olivia Newton-John and the second with Jamie Lee Curtis
@raccooneyes2099 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
"do you dream about me" from Mannequin. come on, who doesnt want to dance around in a closed mall.
@fayesouthall6604 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Duckie in Pretty in Pink is 100% my favourite. He commits.
@user-yo5od3fc9h July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
One reason why I don't subscribe to MsMojo or WatchMojo is because you talk too much. Just play the damn scenes. I really don't care what you say. I'm not watching this video to hear you talk, I'm watching this to see the dances. Always WatchMojo has to talk too much. You talk more than to play the scenes. Less talking
@ahmedomar9850 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Only one is fame the rest is kind of hestia artificial
@CharlotteIssyvoo July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Not roller blades. Roller skates.
@user-gn1si8dj3e July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
I watched most of the movies and dirty dance is the best and I love a chorus line.
@post1084 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
The In Crowd (1988) many memorable dance scenes in the overlooked film set in mid-sixties Philadelphia area .
@lauramac9357 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Why is there so much unnecessary commentary in Ms. Mojo? A lot of it is obvious. Simply watching would be much more enjoyable. I usually avoid Ms. Mojo for that reason.
@danilomartinez8097 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
What happened to Saturday Night Fever or even West Side Story or zjes all that prom dance or magic mike...
@MadeInManny0161 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
fave dance scene from 80s
definitely turbo in breakin 1 & 2
@deniseg-hill1730 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Dirty Dancing no 1 for me
@martinpsi2705 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Talk too much.
@joemachunda July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
The beach scene in Carousel. My favorite
@MsLH208 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Dirty dancing and foot loose hands down❤❤❤
@kimtinte84 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Xanadu trivia.
The male dancers in the pin striped suits.
Are Shabbat Doo ( Ozone) and Michael chambers ( turbo) from Breakin.

They are also in the Chaka Kahn video I feel for you
@kimskonieczny3638 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Great songs and dancing!
@TMarie-qe5pc July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Yes...Seeing Footloose in the theatre in 1984. It was packed and such a great movie!
@eddelgarorellana6731 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
I just loved them all😊
Do you want to dance?
@sambucasmom927 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Beetlejuice is my fave here.
@nanettemacy9376 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Why is it when a movie is a hit they have to make a remake which is never good
@chubumpkins7696 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Rosie Perez is a really underrated actress and dancer in mho
@pauldutcher9105 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Breakin.... broom dance?
@drred7481 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Some Trivia: “The dancers in Fame (1980) didn't dance to the title track 'Fame' in the street scene, they danced to a different song, Donna Summers 'Hot Stuff' as at the time of the three-day shoot, the song hadn't been written”.
@red9729 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Michael Jackson' s Thriller video is missing from this list should be near the top if not #1
@randymcmullen538 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
That’s funny… Red Foreman (with hair!) watching Travolta… That 70’s show fans will know exactly what I mean… 🤣🤣🤣
@albertshumate7688 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Though it's not 1980s Check out Donald O'Connor in "I Love Melvin" 1953 tap dancing in roller skates.
@valkyriesardo278 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Am I wrong to suppose a ballet is the pinnacle of dance and that a top ballet dancer can readily pick up any other form of dance? They lack nothing in strength, balance, speed, flexibility, stamina, and discipline.
@mlw5665 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Everyone who went to the opening in theaters went out with their friends and danced in the parking lot until the authorities made us leave
@judyross182 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
I haven't seen any of the other movies except Dirty Dancing several times. I agree that it's number one. No doubt.
@trinity2145 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Dirty dancing betta be 1. 13:22 I’ve been watching clips from that movie.😂😂😂❤you prevailed.
@BlueSaphire70 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Gosh! Watching Fame always makes me smile. And that White Nights dance with Baryshnikov and Hines is heavenly and should have been way higher, maybe No. 2. It's two true masters at work! But I do agree with the choice of Patrick's and Jennifer's dance as No. 1 because it is pure magic! 😊
@peacewarrior1175 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Good God - what strange choices - with the exception of Patrick Swayze
@elizabethkisanniespottypeo6712 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Surprised Xanadu scored badly, I loved it
@sandyweible7559 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
It would be better if that woman wasn't talking just want to watch the dancing and hear the songs
@michelewaldrop6340 July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Patrick Swayze and girl dancing to These Arms of Mine. (Roadhouse and Dirty Dancing)
@--ag July 21, 2024 - 12:20 pm
Rosie Perez’s dance is ridiculous and slightly vulgar. You couldn’t find anyone else of color?
