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.
小法蘭基喜歡跳舞，經常在他的臥室裡練習跳舞。由於沒有舞伴，他只能和掃帚或椅子跳舞。法蘭基長大後開始參加舞蹈比賽。在 1935 年的一場比賽中，他和他的搭檔弗里達．華盛頓表演了一個新的舞蹈動作。在幾個搖擺舞動作之後，法蘭基和弗里達背靠背地跳舞。緊接著弗里達翻到了法蘭基的背上，越過他的頭頂。
