Just discovered acrobatic tap dancer Miriam LaVelle, and my jaw is on the floor. Front flips and rotational handstands in high heels. Bring back musicals with this energy please. 😭 Somehow she only made a handful of films... This is from SEVEN DAYS ASHORE (John H. Auer, 1944).

Oh man, I had seen her before and just didn't know her name. Here she is in Busby Berkeley's insane THE GANG'S ALL HERE (1943)! With Berkeley smartly moving to a high-angle shot for the flips!

Pretty good but then that's just one move at a time. She can't do all that in one dance routine.........

She was very bendy and flexible. Reminds me of Tony Jaa in Ong Bak.
