''Cavalcade of Dance'' is a 1943 short film (11 minutes) directed by Jean Negulesco.
It is a history of early 20th century American dance. After a short prologue in which regular people are shown dancing in the regular, fairly awkward way, RealLife professional dance team [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veloz_and_Yolanda Veloz and Yolanda]] are introduced. The rest of the short is fairly simple, as a narrator discusses various dance crazes and how they became popular, while Veloz and Yolanda perform that dance on the screen.
