The 1942 Harvest Moon Ball

*** This research and video creating is part of the COVID Quarantine when many full time swing dance instructors like myself have lost almost all of their scheduled gigs for 2020 and 2021. Please consider donating: Venmo: @bobbyswungover *** This is a newsreel of the 1942 Harvest Moon Ball broken down into individual dancing heats. Savoy finalists: Pinky Andrews & James Outlaw (2nd), Leona Jones & Foster Hickson, Jean Wyatts & James Lee, Theresa Mason & Paul Chatwell (Winners), Jerry De Moska & “Pepsi“ Alfred Bethel (3rd), Carrie Frederick & Raymond Harris, and Louise “Pal” Andrews & “Snookie” Dotson Beasely.
