1. COOL, thanks, M!!

Was hoping there would be info on him in the comments, here’s this:

“That's Bobby Banas. West Side Story and other films.

He taught dance in LA.

He's still alive and lives in NYC.

He's 85.”

What a great find!!!

3. I think the modern ones are from Germany and they do this every year - a "Rock that swing"

festival. It sounds fun!

2. They were both really good.

I would love to see John Travolta's dance version of this.

10. Robert Banas was an awesome dancer

So fluid and liquid. He made dancing look easy while no one could do it so flawlessly.Someone put up a video of a few of his scenes in other movies. Wow.
