Dancing looked more like a person skiing, ice skating and running all at the same time back in those days, I don't think my legs can move that fast! 😂❤😂
There are other clips on UA-cam of George dancing to Sweet Georgia Brown and still others showing his Charleston moves. They prove how fast he could dance. He was amazing. Check out the channel "Lovin Raft queenofnite" for more dance videos. Some have been edited to remove unnecessary shots of other actors and many of her videos have contemporary music added. But all of them make clear his considerable talent. George was a very successful dancer for fifteen years in both Europe and New York before he moved to Hollywood in 1927. This clip is from Broadway (1942), a biographical film about George's life. Who better to perform his routines?
Who knew George Raft was such an excellent dancer. Talented!!
George...rocks...

Exceptional man in so many ways.

Movie stars had talent in those days.
Always loved his gangster portrayals. He sure was convincing as a bad guy. 😮😲 He was also a very talented dancer 🕺! 👍👏😘
Love the spats; hence the Name "Spats" in Some Like it Hot!
He was fabulous!

Tough guys don't dance... apart from George Raft.

@@postscript67 Oh yeah! You’re right; and he was great 👍 Both played gangster parts, and both good dancers. 👏🤗🤩
Great upload not much on You Tube of George dancing. :)
Now that's dancin
wow
Look at the musicians in the background. This has been speed up about double its normal speed.
Raft was called the fastest dancer around by Fred Astaire. He did not need speed-up tricks.
Fred Astaire used to go see him at the nightclubs in New York he said he was the fastest dancer he ever saw.

He looks like a young Corrado Soprano Jr.
UA-cam speed x0.75
Didn't Norma Shearer have a fling with George Raft?
SPATS!!!!!!
Johnny Boy's feeble minded brother.
They had the best coke back in those days.
