Norma Miller and Frankie Manning were both consultants on the Lindy Hop dance scene at the Roseland Ballroom. However, only Frankie Manning has been given credit as a dance consultant. Otis Sallid/choreographer said "Just for the record. I studied for a month with Frankie Manning so that the work in this film would be accurate. I brought him and Norma Miller on as a consultant so that the larger world would know and revere them."
