Its been pretty quiet here on The Winger and in the dance blogosphere as a whole. Folks must be busy dancing or something. Go figure. Since I am tired of seeing my old post up there thought I would do some curating. This week I present to you two of my favorite videos.

The first video is Who’s Yehudi, song written in 1940 by Bill Seckler and Matt Dennis. The vocalist in this 1943 soundie is Lane Truesdale and completely mesmerizing. Despite the mildly anti-semitic depiction of Yehudi this video is really great. So Wingers, here is the million dollar question…who is Yehudi?

The second dance is A Jazz Etude danced by Billy Burt. This 1941 soundie has cool staging and amazing dancing. The music is really good too.

Both of these dance videos are Public Domain which makes showing them online completely legal. I am really glad nobody owns these. Otherwise I would probably never have seen them and definitely would not be able to share them with you. Two more points for open source media.
