Just imagine what they could do if they pulled up their pants!

"When Johnny Lloyd, one of the world's great Lindy Hoppers, was asked the secret to looking good on the dance floor, he reportedly said, "Baggy pants." Baggy pants give a great leg line by concealing all the major bends and angles. This is especially true in savoy-style Lindy Hop, with its characteristically deeply bent leg action, and you'll see that the really great Lindy Hop gents wear very baggy pants. It is also good advice for the other dances. Narrow-cut or slim-cut pants will show every awkward bend, sometimes even emphasizing them in the way they catch the light. Blue jeans are especially bad for showing every bend and ugly angle."
