Britannia, I wasn't trying to be dismissive of current stars' dancing talent. Sutton Foster is someone who quickly came to mind who is a star who is known for being a strong dancer. And I think most musical stars can dance. But I don't really know whether most current stars are strong dancers because they don't have to do all that much dancing in most new musicals. For example, the last four Tony-winning musicals (The Band's Visit, Dear Evan Hansen, Hamilton, and Fun Home) didn't require their stars to do much dancing. (Leslie Odom's The Room Where It Happens being an exception.)

I didn't think you were being dismissive; I just feels (to me) implied when you hear people talk about how much better stars of ages past were. But you are right that many shows don't require stars who dance a lot.
