"Big Band Magic" is a documentary about Social Dancing, with excerpts featuring Bay Area Dance Halls of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, and Cynthia's commentary on the importance of couples' dancing.
This special celebrates a historic era, with never-before-seen archive films and photos, and classic music and dance sequences that recall the spirit of the age.
The program tells a story that has remained untold for far too long. Narrated by KQED personality Greg Sherwood, the program revives the memories of an entire generation and treats younger viewers to a glimpse of a fabled period in Bay Area history as a new generation of dance enthusiasts keep the music and dancing alive.
