Swing Your Partners is a 1918 American short comedy film featuring Harold Lloyd. Copies of the film survive in two collections.[1]

Harold and Snub are two vagrants who are mistaken for visiting dance experts by the proprietor of Professor Tanglefoot's Dance Academy because of their startling resemblance to them. Harold teaches a class of female pupils a few interesting and lively dance steps before the real pair of experts arrive.

Reception

[edit | edit source]

Like many American films of the time, Swing Your Partners was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required a cut of two near views of Lloyd on a piano stool facing the camera.[2]
