Probably the best swing dance scene ever captured on film, this goes off. From the film Hellzapoppin' (1941) - be patient though, the first half is music

  • Well, there goes all my self esteem as a swing dancer...

  • @stdepi Frankie Manning (the dancer in the overalls) was considered the father of Lindy Hop and died not too long ago in 2009 right before his 95th Birthday. Every year for his birthday, there was a large celebration with Lindy Hop dancers from all over the world who would come dance in honor of him, and every birthday they would surround him in a circle for a song, and he would dance with as many women as how many years old he was. Thank you, Frankie Manning, for giving us such a wonderful gift

  • totally not the point, but does anyone else see some wrestling moves here? I wonder if they copied swing dancing... like a floatover DDT, Hurricanrana...

  • Immortalized awesomeness. 

  • I bet those dresses were scandalous back in the day.

  • damn they got krunk

  • that was fucking amazing

  • Dang that's just about the most crazy thing I've ever seen.

  • @AdventureGirl2011 You can get it back.  Just need to learn Lindy Hop!

  • @Witherwings790 Says the person that can't dance.

  • @HuggiMa Look up the Nicholas Brothers and the Berry Brothers to see where breakdancing comes from. ;-)
