Jack Stanford _ The Elastic Dancer (1933)

Dancing Movie

[@blackstonelegion5935]

Jack Stanford is getting the recognition he truly deserves

[@inigo9000]

How is that possible when using footage of someone that ain’t him

[@dylan-kerry]

Well funnily enough this isn’t actually Jack Stanford. This is Harold Lloyd. I don’t know how they’re getting confused as they don’t look similar.

[@richardletaw4068]

That’s amazing! I am just discovering the novelty dancers of this era. What fun! Understand that I am not “into” dance as such. I generally find it boring-but performers such as this keep me riveted!

[@Medw8257]

He was ahead of his time ❤

[@raitshots]

Legendar dancer art . Very Hard work 😎👍👍👍💯💯💯💯

[@sarielmusic92]

Wahouuuu....the legend....he knew to do all.....a prodigy

[@yusufemresahin9914]

Bu adamın bu zamana kadar tanınmamış yada yeteri kadar tanınmamış olması üzücü. Bir yanda basit danslar milyon izlenirken bir yandan bu efsane sadece bu kadar beğeni alması tatsız.

[@cynthiaennis3107]

FABULOUS!!! Thank you! I thought it was Jack Stanford! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@viajandoyaprendiendoconRicardo]

Bill Bailey 1943 and Resortes, mexican actor, around 1940-1950s did that as well, including "moonwalk".

[@daisyhall1286]

I think this is Harold Lloyd, American actor comedian and stuntman Jack Stanford did not wear glasses. Harold Lloyd did.

[@dylan-kerry]

Yes it is. I’ve seen both and this doesn’t look like Jack.

[@richardgreen3910]

I don't think it's Harold Lloyd's face if you enlarge it I think he's wearing the hat and glasses to look like him as part of the act

[@barbarafuglein3918]

Grandios!!!! Chapeau!!😊

[@giradiscodelrecuerdo549]

Extraordinario.inico lo mejor 👌 el legado genial

[@shahbasharat]

so that's where MJ's dance moves are coming from

[@susanswales8313]

And an African American performer from the 50s called zBill Bailey who did the “back slide “ renamed by Jackson as the moon walk .

[@massdisruption3437]

Shah, so that’s every move by Micheal Jackson??? Remember that this type of dancing is considered black dancing. You do know the majority of state dances in America are created by blacks before they could record tv. This dancer is good. Yet he didn’t invent these moves.

[@niklamogios2676]

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jantzfitzgerald6115]

I watched a short film of two white guys doing breakdancing moves in the 1910s . One dude spinned around on his head and hands with such speed it was amazing. That's not Stan Laurel . Thats Jack Stanford. Stan was a good dancer though.

[@knasanpadayachee9055]

MJ got his moves from this guy. Here comes another legal battle

[@JoshuaBolwerk]

Great!

[@fxsignal1830]

impressionante

[@vigilanterocco381]

awe.....

[@Vlad-c7l]

Офигеть!!!!!

[@blackstonelegion5935]

That is him

[@jenkem4464]

OG b-boy.

[@goburastero]

Creo que Michael Jackson se inspiró o tomó mucho del estilo de Jack Stanford. Geniales los dos.

[@ivankruzenshtern7170]

what's the song?

[@genivaldoladislau7980]

Agora sei em quel Michael Jackson se inspirou. 😅

[@shawnturner1645]

TOP ROCK FOR YO AS!!!😂

[@saraannackerman152]

He looks like Harold Lloyd. 🤣

[@thardingau]

Why not use the original music? This lacks credibility.

[@SergioBatistahorripilante1963]

DEZ

[@inigo9000]

That’s someone Else, this is Harold Lloyd

[@tony-wf4ww]

I see how James Brown borrowed some moves too.

[@GeorgeWashington-x4n]

They make what he's doing seem cool by putting his film to today's Black music but in fact it's probably corny if you can hear the music he's actually dancing to. Maybe a kooky acoustic piano and oboe. Not so cool then.😂

[@GeorgeWashington-x4n]

@@coinneachmaclellan3121 Never doubted his talent. My point is they purposely used cool music to change the nature in the spirit of what he's doing. The nature of the music speaks volumes to the nature of the dancer. He was not dancing in spirit homage to the music this deceives he is. Let his spirit stay in the psychology of the music he was dancing to. Get the original, watch and hear what he's dancing to, so he can be seen in what spirit he was operating in. He was not dancing in the spirit of this music. This short is a form of deception.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

@user-bu4qv8ss1u Sorry that I misread the intention of your comment. I've become a bit knee-jerk reactive with what I often consider to be a lack of historical perspective by commenters who impose present values on past performances...I find that some reactors are guilty of that as well by not investigating and understanding the factors and conditions involved...

[@dt-wq7ql]

Without the original music , this is a pointless video.

[@jamesdegraffereid7406]

Soooo apparently i don't understand cultural misappropriation lol
