Little Frankie loved to dance and practiced dancing in his bedroom. Since he didn’t have a partner, he danced with a broom or a chair. Frankie started participating in dance competitions when he got older. During a contest in 1935, he and his partner, Frieda Washington, performed a new dance move. After a couple of swing dance moves, Frankie and Frieda danced with their back touching each other’s. Then Frieda flipped onto Frankie’s back and went over his head.
小法兰基喜欢跳舞，经常在他的卧室里练习跳舞。由于没有舞伴，他只能和扫帚或椅子跳舞。法兰基长大后开始参加舞蹈比赛。在 1935 年的一场比赛中，他和他的搭档弗里达．华盛顿表演了一个新的舞蹈动作。在几个摇摆舞动作之后，法兰基和弗里达背靠背地跳舞。紧接著弗里达翻到了法兰基的背上，越过他的头顶。
