Superb dancing, complicated but lots of soul and fun!

From whom or where did the mythical idea of white people not knowing how to dance ever come from?!?

@MadMickeyTV 'Cosplay'. You're using a term that doesn't go with this era.

@personacualquiera For the first time in recorded human history (since ancient Sparta, where female athletes wore toga length gym skirts), in 1920s (from women's rejecting pre-WW1 prudery and longskirt restrictions on movement) women's skirt hems rose to the knee. Too after 1941 -- due to WW2 rationing of cloth, most young US men's being abroad at war, and women at home running the USA. In 1947 "The New Look" reverted to the 1930s midi-skirt, mid-calf length, which reappeared in the late 1970s.

@MICKEYSMONKEY In 1940s films (like Swing dance scene in Hellzapoppin), apparently mini- and microskirts were OK on lower-echelon classes as waitresses and maids. The revealed leg (& pantaloon-ettes) revealed their lowerclass availability. Only c. 1964 fwd. was the miniskirt embraced by middle- and upperclass women.

@MadMickeyTV - For sure, it is. The showgirls, chorus girls and especially soubrettes (featured dancers) all wore skimpy outfits; many would not be out of place in today's music videos. In some clubs, the girls were darn near topless.

@mansfieldification - well, actually there are some dancers almost as good, or even as good. There are a lot of dancers who do this style pretty well, especially in Los Angeles. Check out the Camp Hollywood vids on youtube. Thanks for commenting, and stopping by all the same. Peace. :)
