Of course you're right. These were all professional dancers and there were no "computer generated extras" in those days. My mother and aunts used to be in competitions and they spent a lot of time rehearsing.

*sigh* I've been YouTubing lindy videos all day, and I'm not sure whether to be inspired or depressed. Makes me wanna go out and lindy all day, but I could probably work at it all my life and never get this good lol.

Yes Cloud you can be certain that these dances were rehearsed!! These are the great Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, choreographed by Frankie Manning, who dances first in this clip.

Im pretty sure nobody can spontaniously dance like this, they will have had months of practice at this particular dance and probably years of dance training >.>

My mom was 20 years old in 1941. I look at her in a wheelchair today and it is hard to believe she used to dance like that. I couldn't even dance like that.

The racial differences are people groups' ability to absorb vitamin D from the sun's rays. Vitamin D affects muscle density and bone density and how the body manages energy output. This effects your relationship to the natural environment and the body's capabilities. For example, the African body is great for running. The European body is great for swimming. Any athletic expert can tell you that. Any observation of marathons or Olympic swimming can tell you that, too. Differences are beautiful.
