Probably the best swing dance scene ever captured on film, this goes off. From the film Hellzapoppin' (1941) - be patient though, the first half is music

@Wallysblack. Come on fam, we dont have to think of it being a black or white thing. Eventhough I am a Afr. Amer., the dancing culture come any many shades and ethnic groups. We are come from color dont mean nothing, let the dance floor judge who has more style. Ive seen blacks, whites, asians and latins burn up the dance floor.....the only thing that I will say when you make strong comments like this, make sure your knowledge, dance and street credit is up to par..bless fam

@wallysblack I love black people's dancing too :-). One thing black people have that whites normally do not have is that blacks often grow up dancing. It is ingrained as part of their culture. In America, that is not quite true for whites -- so many of them grow up not dancing. At the end of the day, it is a "practice makes perfect" thing -- anybody can do it if they set their mind on it. Look up JazzLegacy's "Hellzapoppin' Then and now" youtube video -- whites are reenacting this routine!

@pre9120 In Frankie Manning's Autobiography (he's the last guy to dance, wearing overalls, in this clip) he said when they were practicing this routine, and they finished a run through, they were startled by someone clapping behind them. When they turned to see who it was, they were shocked to see Fred Astaire standing there, who said "Man, I wish I could dance like you guys!"
