This looks like the fabulous Nicholas Brothers.

didn't someone post some nicholas brothers here somewhere?

That was GREAT! I love Cab Calloway, he's so surreal, but this is the first time I've seen more than a few seconds of the Nicholas Brothers in action.

(My last Nicholas Bros was a repost. D'oh! This is my second favorite Nicholas Brothers clip after http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=3588)

Shown here are Fayard and Harold Nicholas in Orchestra Wives (1942) backed by the Glenn Miller Orchestra to "(I've Got a Gal in) Kalamazoo".

Who are the Nicholas Brothers?

The Nicolas Brothers opened at the Cotton Club in 1932 and astonished their white audiences just as much as the residents of Harlem, slipping into their series of spins, twists, flips, and tap dancing to the jazz tempos of "Bugle Call Rag". It was as if Fayard and his still younger brother had gone dance-crazy and acrobatic. Sometimes, for encores Harold would sing another song, while Fayard, still dancing would mockingly conduct the orchestra in a comic pantomime that was beautifully exaggerated. They performed at the Cotton Club for two years, working with the orchestras of Lucky Millinder, Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington and Jimmy Lunceford. During this time they filmed their first movie short, "Pie Pie Blackbird" in 1932, with Hubie Blake and his orchestra. -- http://NicholasBrothers.com
