Do the Continental

Shot from the 1934 film "The Gay Divorcee" that
 introduced "The Continental" to American dancers.

In the 1934 film The Gay Divorcee, Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire have a 17-minute dance number called "The Continental."

Though never a big hit, the song, "The Continental" was the first dance song to win an Academy Award. According to www.streetswing.com, the dance was always more of a exhibition number rather than a social dance.

One thing is certain, it was designed to get you moving and so is the airline of the same name.
