The 100 Club is a famous music club in a cellar in Oxford Street London. It is very busy and on the night we were there the temperature and humidity were tropical. We didn’t believe it when we saw this guy arrive in full suit and wearing a fedora. It turned out that he is one of the coolest dudes ever – Henry Miles.

Have a look at the videos

They are 4Mb and 7Mb so will take a bit to download.

Not only is he leading two twenty-somethings superbly, he is also tap dancing with the music (although this was lost on the video). Notice the way that he is interpreting the music also.

I can’t find out much about him -there are only a few references to him on the Internet and I remember him being an extra in the 1999 film Swing. It seems he has been dancing since the 1940′s.
