Savon Glover and his followers have disdain for this kind of dancing, perhaps because they lack the grace and flair to pull it off.

A bit of research: This was filmed at a daytime reception for visiting Navy Admirals from Latin American countries on a "Good Neighbor Policy" tour sponsored by the State Department. It was held at MGM in middle May 1941, Norma Shearer acted as hostess. The Admirals were also treated to a night at Ciro's and a party at the home of Constance Bennett and Gilbert Roland. They were given souvenir books with pictures of themselves with the Hollywood glamour girls.

The lady next to Cary Grant is Ann Sothern. It's from June 1941, the brunette woman next to Grant is Joan Bennett and it looks like Darryl Zanuck next to her. I can't link to the picture I found from this for some reason. otrr.org and check out OTR Art and search under Ann Sothern.
99 years today since the birth of Eleanor Powell. Thanks Eleanor for all the exhilarating happiness you provided the world with your craft.

holy cow ... sorry guys but you must be young movie buffs. The blond in the upsweep with Claudette Colbert is none other than Carmen Miranda when she was starting out.

I'm sure we all know Carmen Miranda, she cannot be mistaken for anyone else, it is the other woman at 00:35 we are a bit dubious about.
