Swing Jam at the Rendezvous – 1938

I recently looked through some of my photo files, and found a cool photo I hadn’t shown you!
This photo comes from the 1938 LOOK Magazine spread about the Rendezvous Ballroom (posted here), and it shows a dance jam. Roy Damron is the guy in the middle doing the splits, and a couple of his friends are in the crowd. And do you recognize the couple dancing in the upper right (white jacket, white dress)? That’s none other than Hal & Betty Takier! Oh, what I’d give for a little video footage of this jam. 🙂
