The male dancer above was in his 90's when the video was made. He is Frankie "Musclehead" Manning, who is said to have created the Lindy-Hop in 1935.

The Shim-Sham leads into the Lindy Hop.

Here's where the whites steal it and pretend it has nothing to do with its African-American roots. But there is some good dancing in it nonetheless.
