Liza Minnelli "Stepping Out" VHS 1992

Description: IN GOOD CONDITION! LIMITED EDITION VIDEO CASSETTE 1992 READ WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT THIS MOVIE...With all the dance movies about great dancers, this early movie shows that it's not all about kids and it's not all about being great. Sometimes it's just about fulfilling your own urges to learn something later in life and finding others and having fun. This film has a poignant meaning to my life. I was born with spina-bifida and use a wheelchair to walk. I was miraculously blessed with my beautiful daughter almost 18 years ago, and when she was a toddler, this movie came on TV. She was transfixed, stood with a melting fruit-sicle in her hands and couldn't look away. Suddenly, out of the blue, she hollars "5, 6, 7, 8!" and stomps across the room grinning from ear to ear! Now she is a professional tap dancer who is nationally ranked and has worked with renowned choreographers like Brill Barrett and Greg Russell. She also beamed with tears when she introduced me to my childhood idol Arthur Duncan (tap dancer from Lawrence Welk show). Watching my daughter dance is like I can dance myself, and to think it all started with this crazy little film! Liza gives a warm engaging performance not only as a hard working, down-on-her-luck tap teacher, but a vocalist, and a friend. There is an stunning "improv" jazz dance scene where she reprises a broadway level performance of Stepping Out. (makes me cry to watch it) Jane Krakowski now of 30 Rock fame, who is equal to any dance challenge, plays a tender young nurse coming to terms with life's disappointments. Stepping Out features an ensemble of characters including Julie Walters (Calender Girls, Harry Potter), the incredible credible Shelley Winters who is facing an unfair past-her-prime crisis, (and more) who compliment one another at every single p-k turn. Contrary to popular and mainstream belief, life isn't about perfection, it's about spirit, and dancing is about the passion you possess inside of your heart and soul.. if the body follows, it's a good day! I highly recommend Stepping Out to put in your collection and view as often as you need a good laugh, cry, revelation, or just to watch unforgettable performances. I wish I had three thumbs right now! Liza Minelli played such a real character in this understated film. She shined on the dance floor but when she wasn't performing, I loved how her character was so down to earth and softly real. All of the characters were well acted and interesting and the ending was beautiful and so upbeat! "Stepping Out" is a very entertaining movie. I wish they would release this movie on DVD. I have watched my VHS of "Stepping Out" so much that I have just about warn it out.This movie draws you into a story about a group of people who are taking a tap dancing class. As the movie progresses, you get to know and love each of these characters.The tap dance class is invited to perform for a fund raising event that will include some of the best dance classes and performers in Buffalo, New York (where this story takes place). They are the hit of the show and the mistakes they make are thought to be intentional as part of the act. The audience loves them and asks them to return the following year.Liza Minelli is great in this movie and her talent to act, sing and dance are emphasized in the film. I love the character she portrays. Shelley Winter is great as the fiesty piano player for the tap dancing class.I would recommend this movie to anyone. Very entertaining, with a touch of compassion and heart. The movie ends with Liza singing and then the members of her class join her in a big tap dancing number. A very upbeat, feel good ending!
