And as for their claims to be the “best dancers” (presumably) in the south, well the record shows otherwise. But these folk are Black, so maybe they don’t count until a white man shows them the right way:
Bojangles Robinson, VA
John W Bubbles, KY
The Nicholas Brothers, NC
And local legend Clayton “Peg Leg” Bates, originally from South Carolina before founding (one of?) the only Catskills resorts for Black tourists. Not only was he more talented than the Whites, he was a better dancer with one leg!
Oh, and he was 60 when that clip was filmed.
