Leon James swingn' @ the Savoy

Leon James is beyond description! Aside from being one of the best Lindy Hoppers that ever was, his great sense of humor always seems to come out in his dancing. Here at the Savoy Ballroom, probably in the early 1950's, his form of dancing is way ahead of it's time......it's no wonder Hip-Hop/Break Dancing came out of NY!

sharp moves, tip top

I agree but I think that's what happens when you put a movie camera on anybody (even a great) and say do something amazing.

I'm sure this clip doesn't do him justice.

IMHO

to much a showboat for me he didn't even pay attention to his partner most the time. and the dancing suffered because he put himself before his lead

this isnt the music he was dancing to. its a bit upsetting.
