| | AMERICA DANCES! 1897-1948 - A Collector's Edition of Social Dance in Film |
 | | Granted the film stock is rough in spots (frequently, and understandably, dark, and grainy), but Dancetime has supplied an appropriate piano accompaniment for consistency throughout. |
 | | Film clips (including dance marathons, wacky dance stunts, and step-by-step tutorials) culled from period newsreels and vintage documentaries are organized by decade and labeled with captions...Fascinating for its glimpse into the fads, fashions, and popular dances (lindy hop, cakewalk, Charleston, and more) of the era, this is an excellent resource. |
 | | These are actual films shot in the era presented, and the people and clothing were as much fun to watch as the dancing...I recommend this video for anyone interested in dancing, or history in general. |
