Classic Film/classic dance scene in Shall We Dance - 2004

Question
In the 2004 movie, Shall We Dance, the characters stop by a store front and watch a dance scene from a classic movie on TV.  The dance they watch is fantastic.  It could be a Fred Astaire number or Gene Kelly.  The female dance partner is wearing a short red sequined dress and she is wonderful to watch.  I would love to know the movie that the scene comes from.  Thank you.

Answer
Hello Laura,

That was Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse (the best pair of legs in the movies, in my humble opinion!) in MGM's "The Band Wagon".

Have a look here......
