  • Accuracy? Music, dance& clothing is of that period.Cloche-check, Drop waist flapper style dress-check.Are the shoes off for you? I've tried Lindy and Charleston in period shoes, you're not winning any contests in a pair of those. Dancing/competing in vintage can also ruin your clothes.A strennous number, especially with faster, more frenetic music with multiple spins requires newly made clothing.Their period look was better than many competition Lindy Hoppers.

  • Lets compare apples to apples here !!!Who Cares about the wardrobe. This is a dance contest you are looking at. The name of the game is "who is the best dancing couple." They are judged on their dancing ability for the era presented, not the clothing. Stop being a nitpicker & watch this video to enjoy possibly the best peabody dancers in America today.

  • @7up4me - It sure sounds like "Satchmo" to me! (That's Louis Armstrong if you're not of "the generation!"

  • PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!! I have watched this about 20 times . . . and will probably watch it at least that many again!!!! WHAT A DELIGHT TO BOTH THE EYE AND THE EAR - I hope they dance on forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o)))))

  • wowwww!!! Anyone know who is singing this version of "Bourbon Street Parade"?

  • @thardingau

    simply he knows how to dance!!!!

  • Just lovely!

  • Génial

  • What a delightful couple, and what delightful dancing. He's a riot -- looks like Groucho and Harpo both, and she's so delicate and AMUSED.... THe loping steps are hella fun -- but they do require space and you can't do them on a crowded floor, but they're just inspiredly silly, U adore this pair.

  • How does he avoid stepping on her toes?

  • I wish I could do that! Thanks so much for the lovely upload.
