This delightful and uplifting 2006 documentary film about five surviving “Silver Belles”.
“The Silver Belles” are a group of classy, sassy hoofers who met in the 1930’s as chorus dancers at the famed Apollo Theater and Cotton Club. There, they learned their trade and performed with legendary bandleaders and performers including Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald. They also formed lifelong friendships.
When the dancers met up again in 1985, they discovered that they’d lost none of their moves — and their performances have been packing in crowds at concert halls in New York. When the film was made, the youngest was 84, the oldest was 95, and none were ready to give up dancing. (The last, Geraldine Rhodes Kennedy, died in 2017).
