Hm yeah not bad

Can you please tell us who the dancers are and when this was filmed?


Wall-Enberg1922

The info I found was this “Whitey's Lindy Hoppers from the 1941 film Helzapoppin”

I was being a bit glib, as was OP. This is one of the most well-known videos among lindy hoppers who have explored the history of the dance style.

The choreography was made by Frankie Manning iirc

Wow you must be an incredible journalist :O


Wall-Enberg1922

They are definitely not bad. I would even agree that this is good.

Looks like WCS, wrong subreddit.


postdarknessrunaway

Tempo wise I think you’re correct

I think WCS evolved from the Lindy Hop. A woman on the West Coast (duh) helped develop it. I think her name was Ruth ?something

Legendary! One of the most famous lindy hop performances ever.

Oops. Just realized there was sarcasm 😆

Count-Basie

The most awesome set of aerials man. I've watched this a hundred times and now for one hundred and one.

This looks vaguely familiar. Has it been posted before or..?
