The YouTube poster named this video "Goran Bregović Mahalageasca" but in the comments this is disputed.

Here's another link to the same dance, with an apology.

The discussion seems to be about the authorship of the [folk origin] music, though, while I'm especially interested, of course, in the dance. If anyone can shed any light on the matter, please do. Thanks.
Whatever it is, I think the choreography is amazing! So playful, strong, varied, making very clever use of a small space. Breathtaking!

Acts of desperation
Danced by Lexi Tonniges and Addie Byers at
The Dance Awards 2014

Unfortunately very poor video quality with an annoying stage background, but unusual and interesting choreography by Sonya Tayeh: two women (mother and daughter? lovers? sisters?) connecting, disconnecting and struggling to break free.

Yul Brynner (who was, at least partly, of Swiss descent) and Deborah Kerr perform "Shall We Dance"
from the 1956 film version of "The King and I."

The poor guy was still in this role in 1971,
here with Patricia Morrison https://youtu.be/ElqYH2bxKtY

and in 1977,
here with Constance Towers https://youtu.be/DyukUqGj4hQ.

Even more Off- topic Yul Brynner was Heimatberechtigt in Möriken-Wildegg AG where we once lived.

Flashback? Dream? Fantasy?

Gregory Hines was born in 1946, when Sammy Davis Jr was 21.

Here, on 4th February 1990, aged 44, he dances tap dance, solo, to pay Sammy Davis Jr a moving tribute.

When Sammy Davis Jr joined him on stage, this was possibly his last performance.
Sammy Davis Jr, born 1925, was already very ill and died just a few months after this, on 16th May 1990, aged 64, of complications from throat cancer.

Gregory Hines lived until 9th August 2003, when he, too, died of [liver] cancer, aged 57.

Wonderful that, though they are gone, the internet makes still all this available to us, years later.

James Cagney (born 1899, died 1986), aged 43 in 1942,
in the film Yankee Doodle Dandy.
According to YouTube:
Near the end of the film, George M. Cohan (James Cagney) is leaving the White House.
He's pretty happy about things.
His dance down stairs was an improvisation by Cagney.
