On this Musical Monday, we bring you not just one song, but a full set along with with a floorshow! Check out the Girl Band 1940s-style, along with some really interesting dancing that's a cross between ballet and tap!
Bandleader Frances Carroll is like the female version of Cab Calloway--she's good-looking, she's charismatic, and she can sing and dance while swinging her baton!
