Explaining The Past on Instagram: "The legendary Fred Astaire, born in 1899 — one of the most influential dancers in film history. 🕴✨ He’s seen here performing his iconic “Puttin’ on the Ritz” routine from Blue Skies (1946) — a sequence that took five weeks of back-breaking rehearsal to perfect. Astaire’s effortless charm, precision, and innovation forever changed the way dance was captured on screen — blending elegance, rhythm, and storytelling like no one else. 💫 • #FredAstaire #Astaire #Blu
