The Big Apple was originally a big dance craze 1937. A caller was used to shout out steps and the dancers followed. This dance is still used in the swing dance scene but by using Frankie Mannings choreography that Whitey's dancers(Herbert White's groups for example Whitey's Lindy Hoppers or Whitey's Hopping Maniacs) filmed for the film Keep Punchin'. Withey's dancers used this one a lot and also generations and generations of dancers that came after. We often perform this routine in our shows to share the knowledge and pay tribute to where this style came from and from who we learned. We decided to film our version to share our interpretation of the original Keep Punchin' routine.

Mood Indigo" (1930) is a jazz composition and song, with music by Duke Ellington and Barney Bigard with lyrics by Irving Mills. Ellington's biographer, Terry Teachout, described it as "an imperishable classic, one of a handful of songs that come to mind whenever Ellington's name is mentioned anywhere in the world".
From the film Reveille with Beverly, 1943. The song was composed in 1939.
This video will teach you the Shim Sham, a classic #swing / #tap line dance popular in the '30s and '40s and still danced enthusiastically today. Frankie Manning and Erin Stevens will demonstrate the basic footwork, syncopations, and styling.
