These were the days of genuine clean fun. It was when an American dream was tangible. The swing was so popular. People respected each other. It was an era when you could leave your doors unlocked and gas up your car and pay after. It was a stabilized time in life.❤

Times have always carried their share of hardships, regardless of the era. Like everything else, there are pros and cons. Romanticizing a particular period as perfect is a mere product of nostalgia. In truth, the present holds some advantages: there are fewer wars compared to the past, and we have made progress in addressing issues such as xenophobia, sexism, and other social problems. It is important to acknowledge the flaws of the past while appreciating the advancements we have achieved in the present.

Jackie...it's SWING!!!! A form of Jazz. Swing is major chord harmony arrangements (other songs "arranged" into a different time, different instruments given primacy - Glen Miller gave the primary themes to woodwinds, not brass). Some original compositions and yeah, lifted sections of true classical (the masters) music changed. For fun - Benny Goodman's 1936 rendition of a Louie Prima composition, SWING, SWING, SWING. FABULOUS!!! Keep on truckin' Miss. I'm 75 now and have loved Swing since I was a child. Also - note - true Dixieland (another form of Jazz) go to Tuba Skinny here on KZread. Fabulous!

It's music and dancing like this that totally explains why women were always asking "Are my seams straight?!" I don't care what year or decade this is, this type of music will NEVER go out of style. Any music you can't sit still to will always be around, 'cause ya can't ignore the beat!

I'm 78 and can't really "fast dance" anymore, but can still play trombone. So I bought 3 new ones and enjoy playing Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and the beautiful ballads of that era, my favorite of which is "Stardust." ... They had really great music back then and songs with more than just 3-4 chords in them.

swing will live you better believe it. FABULOUS

It really was! I would spin my wife on the dance floor at her high school sock hops, slide her between my legs, forewards and back, lift her to my left side and then swing her around to my right side, and spin her again, back in the late 60's, and we did a lot of the moves seen here, because that is where the Bebop came from, Jive dancing, Lindy hop and the Jitterbug were all forerunners of the Bebop, which by the way is a lot more fun than the twist, locomotion, or any of the other silly dances they started to invent in the 60's. Most of the other students would clear a space on the dance floor and just watch us go at it. My wife was and is a gorgeous Strawberry Red Haired woman, quite tall at 5' 9", and only weighed 130 lbs, has more curves than a Nevada mountain rd. When I spun her, that circle skirt that she wore, and still does today, would rise up and show off the cutest butt, and the best darn legs in the state of Nevada!! I was, and still am 215 lbs 6' 3" tall, quite strong, and could get away with doing all the moves. We still Bebop and Jive, at our local swing dance club meets, and the other dancers still give us some space and watch us go at it. This style of dancing will keep you fit, strong, and happy!! Only difference now is that I don't throw her around like I used to, as I am a bit older than back then!

Merci à vous Dorothy .

I first saw swing in 1940 at a high school dance in Kansas. I was 3. I loved it.

I've watched this so many times and still get a kick out of it...

Well, I'm a millennial and I'm into this stuff. I personally prefer the 1900s era than this era, thank you for posting this marvelous video

Glad you like this music. I'm afraid your generation got short changed.

Somebody is here You certainly have taste..

No wonder the women couldn't keep their seams straight! LOL! It's always fun to see the way our parents REALLY danced...so when they used to complain about "the twist", and how absolutely shameful it was, it's always nice to bring out these videos and make 'em eat their words! Love the rhythm and the beat! :)

parents more like grat grandparents

In 1996 I met my parents in Reno for my Dad's Navy reunion. On Friday people in their 70's-80's arrived looking tired. On Saturday night some fit into their uniforms! When the Big Band music broke out they became young again! The dancing was incredible! Not as acrobatic but amazing!

Don't think there has ever been an era, other than this, that has spawned such amazing finesse, and astounding, perfectly timed groove on the dance floor. This is serious dance, here. And, from what I have seen, no other form of dance can even touch this. These people really knew how to tear shit up. It just doesn't get any better.

My Mom used to dance to Glenn Miller (and others) at the DanceLand in Montreal in the late 40s. She loved it. I do miss her. Gone in 1987.

I was raised on swing & big band. I Love dancing to it. TIMELESS our neighborhood was so multi cultural, every house had folks from all over. we all had so much fun. dinner time was the BEST 4 us kids, as long as a kid was in a chair, didn't matter who he or she was. I Am So Blessed. we all are! look 4 blessings, & that's what u find

Remember dancing with my brother at teen Town Toledo ohio 1940s. Teresa Brewer sang. Oh, what memories. So much fun. Such great music. Thanks for sharing.

50 years ago we were slim and strong and danced like this. I am as old as dirt now but still love this video.

j'adore les musiques cette époque ,joyeuses et aussi douces. Merci a tous ces compositeurs et musiciens qui me font rever à chaque fois que j'écoute ces morceaux.
