The archive footage that has been located and included is as perfect as possible. (They even have a clip of "The Madison", though the script doesn't have time to mention it.) The narration is clear and well paced. The script is excellent, and best of all it manages to talk about Dance Crazes without mentioning Flossing ;-)
I would have mentioned that Dances and Dances Crazes such as The Texas Tommy and the Charleston had moves extracted from them and blended together, (again by African American communities) to create dances such as the Lindy Hop, which were simplified, codified and gentrified for the people with the money, by other white people. (So the section about dance move theft on TikTok is an endemic problem.)
