Archie Savage (April 19, 1914 — February 14, 2003) was an American dancer, choreographer, and film and theatre actor.[1][2][3] He was a pioneer of the African-American modern dance. For several years he was a partner of Katherine Dunham in her dance company.[3] He was among the teachers of Dunham Technique at her school.[4]
Archie was one of the earliest black men to portray an astronaut in film.[citation needed] Another one, in the same year of 1960, was Julius Ongewe in the German/Polish film First Spaceship on Venus.[3][better source needed]
The Archie Savage Dancers appear in the movie, “The Glenn Miller Story” and are acknowledged in the film's credits. In one scene, they appear on a screen in a recording studio as the band is recording the song “Tuxedo Junction,” to which they are performing.
