In 1951, Fred Astaire’s famous “ceiling dance” was filmed for Royal Wedding. The scene appears gravity-defying because the entire room set was built inside a large, rotating “anti-gravity” rig. As the set rotated, Astaire danced, making it seem like he was walking on the walls and ceiling. This innovative technique created the illusion of a gravity-defying dance. | History In Pictures
