This clip from the 1941 movie "Hellzapoppin'" is probably the most famous Lindy Hop routine in the history of swing dance. Featuring Whitey's Lindy Hoppers at their finest accompanied by Slim Galliard's "Helzapoppin' Jam".
What marvelous art this is, too bad at the end, whitey sees them and they run scurrying like roaches for their chores. Amazing how art flourished in the sphere of such attempted degradation...
This one of the most amazing things Ive ever seen!!!
