So You Want to Learn to Dance is a 1953 American black and white short comedy film co-produced, written and directed by Richard Bare.[1] It stars George O'Hanlon as Joe McDoakes.[2]
Joe McDoakes is invited by his boss to a swanky dance. Joe admits he can't dance and the boss gives him a lesson in the office. At the dance, Joe is a social failure and makes many mistakes while dancing with his boss' wife. Joe goes to a dancing school and becomes a big success.
A segment of the short, in particular including O'Hanlon and Ridgway, is featured in the 1990 Tiny Toon Adventures episode "Animaniacs!" (not to be confused with the similarly titled animated series that ran from 1993–98).
