We present the stellar velocity dispersion measurements for 5 Luminous Compact Galaxies (LCGs) at z=0.5-0.7. These galaxies are vigorously forming stars with average SFR $\sim$ 40 M$_{\odot}$/yr. We find that their velocity dispersions range from $\sim137\ \rm{km/s}$ to $260\ \rm{km/s}$, while their stellar masses range between $4\times 10^{9}$ and $10^{11}$ M$_{\odot}$. If these LCGs evolve passively after this major burst of star formation, their masses and velocity dispersions, as well as their evolved colours and luminosities are most consistent with the values characteristic of early-type spiral galaxies today.
