The Congaroo Dancers do a Lindy Hop routine next to a prop palm tree. They dance extremely fast with excellent execution to the music of Andy Kirk and His Clouds of Joy. This dance scene from Killer Diller can be found on the DVD collection Jammin' with the Greats at SavoyStyle. Killer Diller is a film recreation of an all-black musical variety show, with the story of a magician who does disappearing acts tying together the program. Includes performances by the Clark Brothers, the Nat "King" Cole Trio (with Oscar Moore and Johnny Miller), Dusty "Open the Door, Richard" Fletcher, Andy Kirk and his Band, the Congeroo Dancers, Jackie "Moms" Mabley, Butterfly McQueen, Beverly White and George Wiltshire. Numbers include "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Breezy and the Bass," "Don't Sit on My Bed," "I Believe," "If I Didn't Care," "Now He Tells Me" and "Ooh Kick a Rooney."
