---A Swungover (tm) collection of different snippets of "the Venice Beach clip," (some of which are repeats). Film shows a group of LA Swing dancers probably promoting a local California swing dance contest in September, 1938.

The dancers doing LA Swing (early form of Bal-Swing) are Hal and Betty Takier (man in white top, black pants, does the move that takes them to the ground); Jack Helwig and Genevieve Grazis (couple in all white); Richard "Dick" Landry  in the striped top, dancing with the shorter unknown woman;  Collegiate Shag couple is Connie Wydell and possibly Barbara Plum.

This style of dancing is today placed under the blanket term Balboa, though these original dancers thought of Balboa as a separate kind of dance (what we now refer to as Pure Balboa.)
