Amazing, Physics-Defying Dance

Ribbonesquepink2l22 The availability of this clip demonstrates the ways in which YouTube is a boon to humankind, never mind the ways in which it is sometimes the opposite. This is the art of the (jazz) dancers as it's seldom been practiced. The clip is from the 1943 African-American film "Stormy Weather," "loosely based on the life and times of its star, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson." The Nicholas Brothers dance; the great Cab Calloway opens with a bit of scat-singing. Seriously, even if you don't know in advance whether you in fact like this sort of thing, you need to jump to "A Gentleman's Domain" to see this.
