The dancer introducing the second selection (I guess I'll have to change my plan, from The bandwagon) says that it was choreographed by Hermes Pan, however, other sources indicate that Michael Kidd staged the dances and musical numbers for the 1953 film The Band Wagon starring Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse.
