- Pretty with plenty of personality and versatility dancer Consuelo Harris was the sensational and considered best of the shake, hot, swinging dancers in the 1930s. Consuelo was a New York headliner and the darling of the night club patrons and crowds in the East and West who raved over her charm and artistry. She performed at the famous Sebastian's Cotton Club in California and other New York highlights. Consuelo was one of the rare dancer, who told a story with her dancing. Flexible and graceful she was. Consuelo appeared showing off her dancing talents in 2 Oscar Micheaux films, "Swing" from 1938 and God's Stepchildren also from 1938. Hopefully more info will surface on this great dancer.
