10. The Kids From 'Mad Hot Ballroom'
Why We Love Them: Who needs a fictionalized rags-to-riches fable when the real thing is just as compelling? These hard-luck tykes look like pros as they swing, merengue and tango their way to the city championship. And the trophy they win is MUCH bigger than Drew Lachey's.

9. Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas, 'Save the Last Dance'
Why We Love Them: Julia Stiles plays a fallen ballerina who learns hip-hop from Sean Patrick Thomas and rediscovers her love of dance. It's sort of like her sexy, drunken table dance in '10 Things I Hate About You,' except in a club and with a smokin'-hot partner.

8. Vanessa Williams and Chayanne, 'Dance With Me'
Why We Love Them: Free-spirited Chayanne tries to teach Vanessa Williams how to "let the music free your soul." Hmm, we thought music was supposed to heal your soul ... or make you lose control ... Well, apparently music can do lots of things, including turn the heat waaay up at this Latin dance club.

7. Al Pacino and Gabrielle Anwar, 'Scent of a Woman'
Why We Love Them: Al Pacino may be blind, but he's no fool. The lovely Gabrielle Anwar is putty in his hands as he romances her with his smooth tango skillz -- and amazingly, he gets through the entire thing without one utterance of "Hoo-ah!" (He's probably thinking it, though.)

6. Paul Mercurio and Tara Morice, 'Strictly Ballroom'
Why We Love Them: Poor Scott (Paul Mercurio) just wants to dance his own steps at the Pan Pacific Grand Prix. Good thing he hooked up with clumsy newbie Fran (Tara Morice), who turns out to be a) not so clumsy and b) pretty hot without her glasses on.

5. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, 'Swing Time'
Why We Love Them: It's nearly impossible to pick one scene from Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers' many films; but we'll go with this one, in which would-be bridegroom Astaire gets cold feet and falls instead for his sassy dance instructor. Looks like his feet aren't quite so cold anymore.

4. John Travolta and Uma Thurman, 'Pulp Fiction'
Why We Love Them: Tweaking John Travolta's 'Saturday Night Fever' role with this kitschy dance contest scene, Travolta and Uma Thurman taught moviegoers a lesson: Fancy hipster footwork is all fun and games until someone OD's on heroin and has to get an injection of adrenaline to the heart.

3. John Travolta and Karen Gorney, 'Saturday Night Fever'
Why We Love Them: It's been a while since John Travolta's and Karen Gorney's white polyester duds and bouffant hair were considered über-hip. Still, there's no denying this scene's deliciousness as an all-time dance classic. Long live disco!

2. Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse, 'Singin' in the Rain'
Why We Love Them: Dance legend Gene Kelly meets his match in Cyd Charisse, who pretty much invented the phrase "legs that wouldn't quit." Their ethereal interaction is enough to make you hit the pillow and hope for a sexy dream sequence of your own.

1. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, 'Dirty Dancing'
Why We Love Them: Nobody puts Baby in a corner. Admit it, you've already seen this perfect, climactic dance scene a hundred times, so you don't even need to watch the clip. Just start humming '(I've Had) the Time of My Life,' and your memory will fill in the rest.
