This is really difficult, because as each decade has passed music has evolved bringing with it movements that wouldn't have been seen in the early days. So for me every one of these has brought their own fabulous style to the dancefloor and all masters of their time. I guess it's so hard because they are all the Originals in their style of dance and the world followed them. I have to go with Gene Kelly as he made his style of dance so masculine in an era when it would have been so easy for him to emulate the great Fred Astaire. Others not mentioned are James Brown,Gregory Hinds and Sammy Davis Jnr.

This is difficult. I would have said Fred Astaire but after watching a ballet the moves and strength that the dancers require is awsome. Also love celtic music and Michael Flately so as you can see I can't decide. Think they're all brilliant. Other...Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing.

It's a different style to Fred Astaire, but Michael Jackson can break some moves to say the least.

Have to admit, Jenny, that I do love his routine in Singin' in the Rain....God knows how long it took him to rehearse that.

I voted for other - Donald O'Connor. Now I admit he wasn't the best of all time but for me, he'll always bring back memories from my childhood. My late nan always told me of how my Grandad used to sing it to entertain my mum and my aunt. One day, she found an old tape recording of Grandad singing it and it's been one of my most treasured possessions ever since.

Can I leave off voting on this one until I have seen BB dance at the VD Party as I think that may be something special...

Always been a MASSIVE fan of Celtic music so Michael Flatley knocked me sideways when Riverdance first hit the scene. But, of all time?? Have to agree Fred Astaire.

I understand this is a hard one as it depends what 'field' of dancing you prefer but I have to start the ball rolling with Fred Astaire - I love his grace and execution of movement.
