Dancing.

Fred Astaire was signed by RKO despite a screen test result that said "Can't act. Can't sing. Balding. Can dance a little." He began his highly successful partnership with Ginger Rogers in 1933. He founded the Fred Astaire Dance Studios in 1945.

Martha Graham founded the Martha Graham Dance Company in 1926. Her company helped groom a number of other well-known dancers and choreographers, including Alvin Ailey and Twyla Tharp. As a choreographer, she was responsible for 118 ballets, many of which were set to contemporary music and portrayed great women of history and mythology.
