Born on 10 May 1899, in Omaha, Nebraska, United States, Fred Astaire is probably one of the most influential personalities to grace the show business. He is looked upon as the most competent dancer in the history of film entertainment and no one comes close to him. His journey had its ups and downs and this made Fred what we know of him today.
In 1905, when Fred was 6, he relocated to New York City, so he and his sister could focus on their musical and dancing education.
Some people seem to think that good dancers are born, but all the good dancers I have known are taught or trained.
Both performed together in some acts on Broadway Circuit and in London while touring. This allowed Fred to shine brother and to polish his talent which could be seen in the darkest of times.
In the year 1932, life started happening for him when the due split as his sister got married. It didn’t stop Fred from continuing with his career; however, later on, he was rejected in a Hollywood movie screen test with the words “Can’t act. Slightly bald. Dances a little,”
It made him disappointed but didn’t stop his juggernaut. He kept on pushing through and ended up in appearing 31 musicals with a career span of 76 mind-blogging years in the film industry.
“The history of dance on film begins with Astaire.” – Gene Kelly
Life is also a stage and we all dance to the tunes of our choices and mindsets. To achieve something, it is necessary to dust off our clothes and keep moving forward. No matter if you encounter various problems and have to go through many turbulences, in the end, they all will be worth it.
Instead of giving up, learn to adjust your steps with the tune learn the form of dancing and make your act of life, which people would listen to happily.
