My Great-Grandmother was a dancer about this era so, I had an instant connection to the John H. Baker Jazz Film Collection Exhibition of African Americans Dance in Early Films. This must see collection is "of soundies, short films and excerpts from feature films that highlight African-American singers and dancers from the 1930s-1940s performing on the theater and film stage, in chorus lines and nightclubs, and in front of big band and small jazz combos. These multi-talented performers popularized a variety of dance styles, including: tap dancing, lindy hop, jitterbug, jive, ballet and modern dance." -- American Jazz Museum
