Doing the Lindy Hop ... in 1910 - AI Enhanced Swing Dancing 60 fps

AI restored film of early swing out dancing ( known as the Texas Tommy) circa 1910-14. There isn't much information about where this was filmed. However the boogie woogie style originated in San Francisco and was the prototype of what later became known as the Lindy hop, and later again - swing dance.

Boogie Woogie was pretty popular among African Americans by the 1910's and was morphing into faster swingout partnered dancing as Jazz bands took off. While what we are seeing here was not called the Lindy Hop ( yet), it is certainly the prototype. Leubrie Hill's all-black musical revue of 1913, the “Darktown Follies“, brought wider attention to the Texas Tommy dance, performed in the show by Ethel Williams and Peters. Later in the 1920's, or July 1928 to be exact, legendary Savoy dancer George Snowden ( Shorty George) and his partner Mattie Purnell purportedly renamed their brand of swingout, the “Lindy Hop“ in a dance marathon at Harlem's Rockland Palace. The term “hop“ was often used to describe dance events by the 1920's. Lindy was a common affectionate nickname by 1928 for Charles Lindbergh, who was a household name after his first solo flight across the Atlantic in 1927. The Lindy Hop would go by many names and step styles ( as music evolved) during the 1930's and 1940's. East Coast or West Coast Swing, the Jitterbug or just swing dance.
