Just a great clip, so joyful and uplifting, both Buddy and his dance partner are great!

[@wahoo7654]

Buddy's dance partner is his real-life sister, Vilma Ebsen. They're great together! (Eleanor Powell crashes the party.)

How cute was that !!!!

[@oliverlegarde8966]

Very nice dance steps 😊

[@esmeephillips5888]

In 1936 it was reported that Vilma was 'heartbroken' when Buddy got an MGM contract without her. She recovered enough to dance at a Shubert charity show for Pres. Roosevelt's birthday in 1937*, but soon quit to teach classes at Pacific Palisades. By 1956 she had been married and divorced twice with a son by each husband.

Modern man look for 1935

[@pammajidy9487]

Vilma had potential, sad she didn’t continue on

[@kevinceniceros1690]

Warner Bros and Disney? Wow.

[@partycentralsales]

Eleanor Powell and the Ebsens were no strangers when this dance routine was filmed in 1935. In June 1934 they performed separately with Abe Lyman’s orchestra at the Capitol Theatre in New York in the live stage show that accompanied the Clark Gable - Myrna Loy film, “Men in White.”
