Tranky Doo from Spirit Moves with synchronised audio

This is the Tranky Doo routine from Spirit Moves - originally choreographed by Frankie Manning, and danced here by (left to right) Al Minns, Pepsi Bethel and Leon James, and I’ve synchronised the dancing to the music used in the original - The Dipsy Doodle, by Ella Fitzgerald with Chick Webb’s orchestra (the song was originally written by Larry Clinton) This was almost certainly *not* the music used when they danced it - the musical structure doesn’t match the structure of the routine, and the Spirit Moves music was generally just added at random as an afterthought - but as that’s the music people generally dance it to these days, I thought it would be fun to at least to sort the timing out to make it fit
