An amateur film shot in San Francisco's Barbary Coast (Pacific Avenue), in July 1913, showing the one-step in a dance hall, then the Texas Tommy in the street, then another couple doing the Texas Tommy in a dance hall. The Texas Tommy was the earliest version of swing dancing. The most famous of the African American Texas Tommy dancers - Johnny Peters - traveled to New York (Harlem) in 1911, where the transplanted Texas Tommy became popular, mostly as a vaudeville act, then evolved into an easier social dance version at the Savoy Ballroom (1926), which then became the Lindy hop by 1928. Watch Shorty George Snowden and his Savoy Ballroom dancers dance the 1929 version in "After Seben" and the roots of the Texas Tommy are apparent.
I ripped this from a VHS video in the 1990s. The Prelinger Archive now has cleaner digital scans of these clips.
