“Jean Phelps Veloz, the icon of the Hollywood-Style Lindy to new generations of swing dancers, provides a living bridge from the Los Angeles dance scene of the 1940’s to the present-day Lindy Hop revival that has swept the United States and the rest of the world since the late 1990’s.” She’s best known for the 1944 MGM film short, “Groovie Movie,” with Arthur Walsh. In 2014, at age 90, she celebrated her birthday at the Navy Club in Bangkok. Watch and enjoy, and learn more about her at her website. (We’d bet she danced on her 91st birthday this year, too!)
