WHITEY'S LINDY HOPPERS TOPS and WILDA in "Love in Syncopation" ALL THEIR DANCING

Thomas "Tops" Lee and Wilda Crawford (mislabeled in the credits as "Wilder") were members of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers. They were originally cast in the famous Lindy Hop clip "Hellzapoppin'" but didn't end up in the final team. We showcase the 3 times they dance in the short film "Love in Syncopation" from 1946, starting with the oldest known footage of the classic solo jazz routine the Tranky Doo and ending with full out blazing fast Lindy Hop with air steps. 1:03 First appearance Tranky Doo 3:12 Second appearance Tranky Doo with other jazz steps and exit 4:06 Third appearance Lindy Hop For more clips classic and modern lindy hop clips and original dancing subscribe to Peter and Naomi here on YouTube.
