the best solo dance number in American film - jazzboCR - 01-12-2014
I'll look at your candidate but doubt I'll be persuaded: Gene Kelly "Singin' in the Rain" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1ZYhVpdXbQ
BONUS: Jimmy Cagney playing George M. Cohan who's just received the Congressional Medal of Honor (The US' highest award)--don't try this at home: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlvB4xk4LNQ

Ah, that golden era of dances named after songs or vice-versa--the shag, the bump, the Philly dog--all searching desperately for that next "The Twist" to make their fortune.
Incidentally (and totally unrelated), have you ever heard a song and, without hearing the lyrics, wanted to know what it is? Here's a help: http://www.labnol.org/internet/find-name-of-songs/12316/
