Louis Francis DaPron (February 13, 1913[citation needed] – July 21, 1987)[1] was an American dancer, choreographer and dance instructor.
His parents were Elizabeth Kurtz (b. around 1890) and Louis I DaPron, and the family shows up on the 1930 Federal Census as living in Denver.
By 1941 he was the primary choreographer for Ruby Keeler in Columbia Pictures' Sweetheart of the Campus, her last musical film.
The Jivin' Jacks and Jills were popular with teen audiences, primarily for the dancing and comedy efforts of Donald O'Connor and Peggy Ryan, who were frequently teamed together.
As O’Connor became increasingly popular, Universal focused on him, and the Jivin’ Jacks and Jills were disbanded after 14 films.
