Does anyone know of a silent era film that shows flappers dancing - alone or in a chorus line?
thank you!

Louise Brooks does a couple of steps in Love 'Em and Leave 'Em and there is always Joan Crawford in Our Dancing Daughters.

Joan is hot stuff, but maybe even hotter is flapper par excellence Ann Pennington. Can find her doing the Black Bottom & other quasi-obscenities on You Tube.

The Flicker Alley DVD of Chicago (1927) includes the 1985 documentary The Flapper Story, with vintage clips as well as contemporary interviews with old flappers reminiscing about the era.
