Throwback Thursday and Dancing Man

Throwback Thursday and Dancing Man

The end of World War II was cause for celebration around the world. In Sydney Australia, a man was filmed dancing for joy in the street, but despite attempts to identify him, who he was (is), remains a mystery. Today’s link is a short clip of him – can you solve the mystery?

Several people have claimed to be the dancing man, including Frank McAlary, a retired lawyer. There are two witnesses who claim they saw him dancing at the time.

But there are other possibilities. Ern Hill makes claim to the dancing man title and states: “"The camera came along and I did a bit of a jump around."

Then there is Patrick Blackall who claims: "I'm the genuine dancing man," and even signed papers declaring this to be true.

But the dancing man’s identity has yet to be proven without a doubt.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Dance History Question #192:
“Who was the mysterious dancing man of 1945?”

and make us lose the good we oft might win,
by fearing to attempt.”
