Dean & Jewel Dance Clip Compilation (1940-1954)

Dean Collins and Jewel McGowan are commonly considered one of the greatest swing dance partnerships in history. This is a roughly chronological and (hopefully) comprehensive compilation of their dancing in film, both together and with separate partners. I’ve added a spotlight to help quickly identify and focus on them. A big thanks to Bill Green for letting me use many of his clips from his Vintage Swing Dance channel. And thank you to Steve Pastor, David Rehm, and Nick Williams for their clips, research, and help. UPDATE: I know of one clip missing from this compilation, and that’s SIS HOPKINS (4/12/1941) featuring Jewel McGowan.
