Really fun video by Howard Jones - especially great for dancers. It makes me wish that music videos had a credit reel. The director, archivist, and editor should get props for this.

On the Dangers of Social Dancing, c. 1921
In 1921, Dr. R. A. Adams wrote The Social Dance, addressing the dangers of dance. He warned women against an early death should they choose to continue on their paths of destruction on the dance floors.
Visit the dancing woman the day "after the ball is over;" hear her weak voice, and look into her listless eyes; note her general lassitude, observe that she has scarcely any life left in her, and you will get some idea of the effects of the dance.Read more in the original article from the Orlando Examiner.

Hellzapoppin, Then and Now
One of the top highlights from Frankie95 was the recreation of the Helzapoppin routine. This video captures that performance beautifully, with a great mashup of the original. The only thing it doesn't show is how insanely the crowd reacted at the time - or how it brought tears to my eyes seeing it again just now.
