Here's a clip from the movie "Stormy Weather" (1943) featuring Cab Calloway and his orchestra performing "Jumpin Jive". After awhile they let the Nicholas Brothers jump in and lend their feet to the action.====================Note that must moderate the comments here now because of some bad apples. Sorry...

According to Fayard Nicholas (in an interview you can find on YouTube) they did the big stairs and jumps at the end with NO REHEARSAL and ONE TAKE. Truly two of the greatest dance artists ever.

@tmacart You are SO right there! Speaking for us youngsters, Cab Calloway has never had an equal (he basically invented Style) and the GODDAMN NICHOLAS BROTHERS! It's amazing that people still danced after them! Barichnicov HIMSELF said this was the greatest recorded dance performance of all time. Barichnicov would crush any modern dancer and HE gave all props and respect to the Nic Bros.

Best dance number of all time. Easy.

I laughed, gasped, and cheered out loud while watching this. There really is nothing like this anymore. I saw Cab Calloway back in the mid 80's. Still could belt it out, and the pure joy and showmanship was mesmerizing. Never have seen dancing like this though. What I would give to have a time machine.

For all brothers that think they can dance, check out these real brothers and you'll see where it came from. The Nicholas Brothers.
