Let's dance around the world...!

LAST MISSION: Come home to Vaasa, Finland! Accomplished 10.07.2018! Cool!!!

Fred has now danced some nice dances at the Broadway, try to give him a lift back to VAASA in good old Finland, Europe.
Thank you very much, Skarabee, for giving Fred a lift back home after almost 35.000 km of traveling the globe, starting on 10.10.2010!

I'll grab him from here.
For the time being Fred will have a nice and well deserved rest here in good old Vaasa. Let's see, time will tell how we continue... Like Forrest Gump once said: 
"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." 

Mission 1: Accomplished 20.04.2012! Yeah!!!
Someday I would like to travel near the "Broadway Theatre district" in Manhatten, New York (USA).  [20-04-2012 Mission accomplished! Thank you very much to "Die C-SAU Bande" for giving Fred a lift to the Broadway! Well done, guys! You rock!!!]

Thanks a lot!  

Fred Astaire (May 10, 1899 – June 22, 1987), born as Frederick Austerlitz,  was an American film and Broadway stage dancer, choreographer, singer and actor. His stage and subsequent film career spanned a total of 76 years, during which he made 31 musical films. He was named the fifth Greatest Male Star of all time by the American Film Institute. He is particularly associated with Ginger Rogers, with whom he made ten films.

According to another major innovator in filmed dance, Gene Kelly,  "The history of dance on film begins with Fred Astaire!".

Beyond film and television, many classical dancers and choreographers like Michael Jackson, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Jerome Robbins among them, also acknowledged his importance and influence.

Fred Astaire's mother was born in the United States to German immigrants from East Prussia and Alsace, while Fred Astaire's father was born in Linz, Austria.
