Dancer Jean Veloz has died at the age of 98, her friend, agent and manager Rusty Frank has confirmed.
Jean, who was best known for her Lindy Hop dances, died at home in Los Angeles on Sunday, according to Rusty, who told The Hollywood Reporter: "Jean innovated a style of swing dance that was admired around the world.
"It was silky smooth and greatly contrasted the more jitterbug style prevalent during the 1930s-'40s."
