Start Cheering 1938 Lawence Lolly Wise & Florence Miller, Maxie Dorf & Mary McCasslin

This is a very short clip showing "Randy swing" the type of swing dancing done in Los Angeles before The arrival of Lindy Hop.
Lolly wise is dancing with Lil Arnold, and Maxie Dorf is dancing with Mary McCasslin. These dancers were known as the "Ray Rand swingers" and did performances.
after speaking with Lolly and watching this clip, we were inspired to name these kicks "Lollies" , even though Lolly just called them Charleston Kicks or kicks for short...The style is no doubt different, kicking across your body etc...
regardless, people who enjoy this dance now know a Name they would have otherwise never known and this is where it came from....:)
