Jean Veloz in Swing Fever (1944)
Jean Veloz dancing Lindy Hop in the 1944 film Swing Fever. Veloz was a Los Angeles dancer of the Hollywood-era scene who later became a celebrated living link to that period. The clip shows the polished, camera-ready style of West Coast swing dancing in the 1940s, with fluid turns and quick footwork. Watch for her poise, her timing and the way she matches her partner's energy. A pleasant look at a different strand of the dance's film history.
