Whitey's Lindy Hoppers in Hellzapoppin, 1941.

The Wednesday Dance, 1966

Whitey's Lindy Hoppers was the brainchild of Herbert "Whitey" White. An African-American man known as "Whitey" because of the streak of white in his hair, he was a former boxer who became a bouncer at the Savoy Ballroom. At one time, more than 70 swing dancers were employed by Whitey. He had a good eye for talent and, like a good coach, he knew how to nurture it. He gave many future entertainers their start in show business. By late 1936, Whitey's dancers had officially made the big time. His top dancers worked a 6-month gig at the the famous Cotton Club under the name "Whitey's Hopping Maniacs" Meantime, Whitey pulled together a second group of top dancers to perform for the first time under the name "Whitey's Lindy Hoppers" in their first major Hollywood film, the Marx Brother's zany A Day at the Races.

The comment section used to be a place where ideas about the main video were bantered about or debated. Now it’s just a mess of other no related posts.

These days, this scene would be flagged for being homophobic, transphobic, fatphobic, racist, sexist... 🤡
