I love it. Especially the synchronised part towards the end, really seems to fit together.

they should have sped up or slowed down the video to really sync with the beat. still nice though.

That's Al Minns and Leon James.

One reason it syncs up is that swing jazz and electronica are both 4/4 time music. Same time signature, same bars to the phrase; same lots of things.

One reason it doesn't quite sync is that sometimes Charleston phrases start on the 1 (as in 1, 3, 5, 7) and sometimes they - like tap - start on the 8. Watch the Precision Charleston routine that starts around -0:43. I learned that routine a year or two ago and - well, I'm a little fuzzy now - but I think we danced it on 8.

Anyway, the music and dancing is a little off, but it's pretty dang tight considering the video clip is 50-60 years old.
