[...] The Big Apple, a circle dance of traditional jazz steps done to swing music in response to a caller was very popular in the late 1930s, sweeping dance halls across the United States. In practice, in social dance settings, The Big Apple was never done the same way twice because the steps were called spontaneously by the caller in response to the music and the local community. Listen carefully to the film clip and you can hear Frankie Manning calling out the steps.
Unlike the popularly danced version of The Big Apple, however, the routine in this film clip was originally choreographed by Manning in 1937, during the height of the Big Apple dance craze.
Dancers:
Thomas “Tops” Lee and Wilda Crawford
William Downes and Francis “Mickey” Jones
Joyce Daniels and Al Daniels
Norma Miller and George Grenidge
Frankie Manning and Lucille Middleton

I came here from that Defunctland video about the Disney staff party; they danced most likely a Little Apple, cause holy shit this dance is cracked! So much choreography squeezed in here, and the variety of formations, from a shuffle into a square into a line. All the talent on display is phenomenal.
I like ur comment
Just signed up for the class to learn this!
Infinite love for Frankie Manning ❤
Wow 1939, I wasn't born until 1954. My father was 21 my mother was 17 in 1939, they got married in 1941. I was the youngest of 6 children.
2024 and I am definitely here for this history more please
2:05 looks for all the world like the "Single Ladies" dance lol.
I'm making a dance mashup to Brand New Day from The Wiz and I'll probably add this.
Great video I really like it that you named the dancers. They will never be forgotten
Yes oh yes I'm just learning about this in 2024❤🎉
This is wonderful. All this time I thought the "Big Apple" was just part of the jitterbug.
Awesome - they knew how to have FUN!
Simply marvelous!

They talked about this dance on leave it to beaver today
Many people might laugh at this period type of dancing, but if you pay close attention you can see all the moves that would be adopted during the early days of Rock N' Roll.
laugh???
It's a whole world for some others and an entire culture
I’m not laughing, wish I could move like that!
Who on earth would laugh? This is brilliant stuff.
@@madamedellaporte4214 Yeah, wish I could do that! We went to dance clubs in the 80s and 90s - wish there was a 'warm-up' act like this at our dance clubs!!
I also agree that its weird to even assume anyone would laugh at this. Im 24, and a lot of these moves you can see the clear inspiration that encouraged rock and roll moves but also dance moves used to modern hip hop and rap
Потрясающе!
❤️
Love Joyce daniel
their names at the end❤️
Wooooooo
Soul Train's inspiration
And American band stand
Crazy to think old white people back thought this was too dirty
They called it jungle music and dancing
@@LoisMann-g4u that sucks
It's amazing to see the naturalness of those who were born dancing. That's why every culture that tries to imitate it, it doesn't look natural but forced. It looks boring cause you know there is someone who does it better. Facts
Is that Eartha Kitt? When she was a kid?
🙌👐🤲🙌👏👏👏👏
T-shirts in 1939? what is this time travelling video conspiracy
kinda annoying that if you search where did rock and roll come from its just elvis or shit from the 50s
Io che ci costa c'hai le mucche
Arguably the flattest and least enthusiastic introduction in the history of jazz!
