Eleanor was not only the greatest all-around dancer ever but, one of the top ten female athletes in American history. The elements of ballet and gymnastics she included is what separates her from all the others. Factor in her beauty and effortless grace and you have the perfect performer.

shareShe was a brilliant tap dancer, but her ballet is embarrassing to watch. So awful.
shareEleanor was a trained ballet dancer as well as a tap dancer.
Jeanne, Gloria, Toby, Mitzi, Eleanor (2), Frances, Deborah, Marion, Alice, Darcey - are adorable.
Powell certainly was no ballet dancer. If she was trained in ballet dancing at all, she was trained poorly, and exhibited no attributes of proper ballet technique. She was, however, an excellent tap dancer and acrobat.
