I grew up during this period. What is different from today. Among other things, we all went to church every sunday, we all respected our teachers, our parents and especially the police. Most of us kids never expected mom and dad to give us money for things, we tried to figure out how we could earn money to buy things. Was such as caddying, ,baby sitting, hauling groceries from the supermarket, shoveling snow for neighborgs or working part time somewhere. Most of the homes had a mother and a father, we ate dinner every night with the family, we did our homework, and spent our spare time at the playground playing basketball, or other games with our friends. Our fondest opposite sex dream was to kiss a certain girl, or maybe hold her hand. We respected our lady friends and were nervous when a special one smiled at us. We did not have any drugs, although some smoked cigarettes, these were the "bad" kids. Yes there was segregation to some extent, but whites and blacks did not hate each, many were friends, especially through sports. I grew up in Pennsylvania. Loved my mom and dad and my aunts and uncles and cousins and they loved me.

Maybe you never heard of Little Richard

Now that's what I'm talking bout !!! Man , if this don't make you wanna shake a leg ( like my grandma used to say ) you may be a stick in the mud. People having a blast and I can still feel the heat all these years later.

The godparents of my eldest sister danced like this, they were in their late 40's back then when my mom asked them to show the kids their "hidden" moves one afternoon, they looked at each other and winked. Mom moved the furniture and plants, dad put the music and once the tune played... wow, they were no longer a middle age couple but a pair of happy teenagers rocking our house. I cheered them all the way, then asked them to dance two more songs and try to dance too with our uncle, but I was too small and not acrobatic, my sister did it, then for the next months I had to be her dance partner 😅, then I had to be her Lambada partner, then her Cumbia partner 😅, and so on until she got her first boyfriend, I was off duty 😂.

They move that quickly and that precise without breaking their smiles or pauses. daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! i wish i could do that! plus all those flips and stuff! yes please!

Look online for lindy hop dance lessons, I am quite sure you will find something relatively nearby

The BEST thing I ever saw in my life

Love how they choreograph the dancing without bumping very hard into other dancers.....amazing!!!!! Thx

The 50's. Incredible age with the rock appearance!

Forget twerking, the lindy hop is the coolest dance ever!

Incredible timing and rhythm energy. All we have today is a two-step. Two steps to the left two steps to the right.

Wow, lot's of swing was carried into the 50's! Love it!

Меня ещё не было, но мне нравится эти танцы и мода, да и вообще мне нравится те времена, девушки , музыка, кино, автомобили и т.д. Золотое время!

Now that's what I call dancing!!!

Wow I found it the guy with the glasses was my great grandpa he passed away last year at the age of 89 all I know was that he could still dance great at an old age except not like when he was younger lol

Would you beleive they had 2 versions of this song in the same year by Lil Richard and this group? Also both artist were in this movie, but this groups version was used in the movie. The things they use to do in the '50's was crazy!

Good old days, golden time. Bring back the 50s!

WHAT A GREAT ERA & THANK GOD THEIR MUSIC LIVES ON.

This is a dance craze that lasted from 1930s to late 1950s and early 1960s and then came the Twist which was such a huge craze. It sold records by the millions so everyone tried to start the next dance craze. Then came 'dirty dancing' and it kind of went down hill to what we have now which is no one dancing but some woman on the stage doing movements that would have got her arrested 40 years ago. It is rather sad because now young people can't even do a straight dance like a waltz for wedding dancing. This was when you went out to have FUN not get so drunk you were vomiting in the street or so stoned you couldn't remember what you did or 'hook up' with someone to ''scratch an itch' that left you soulless, lonely and with VD. I feel so sorry for young people today. They have so much stuff dumped on them. Parents who want them to make millions or parents who want them to be politicians or parents who want them to save the earth. No wonder they get drunk, stoned or whatever to escape from it all.

Swing dancing was dead before the 60's hit; by then the dance crazes like the Madison had begun and then the Twist dominated everything. The Mashed Potato, the Swim, the Monkey - gradually dancing got more and more individual and a lot more crazed in a good way. Then the disco scene brought people back together and after a couple of decades that involved into grinding and such lmao

I wish i could lived in that time 👍🏻 those parties had probably more fun like today 😁

Glory days of humanity? They’re doing black dances to music that was viewed as demonic (mainly because it, too, came from blacks) during a time of segregation and incredible racism.

But had to admit the look's of some of those ladies were killing! Short hair and skirt and jacket has it's own charm something you might sometime leave a sexy hourglass figure beach model girl too or a beauty queen. The classical english woman dress with short hairstyles looked perfect.

I'm here because my teacher assigned my class questions about the dances and the music in the video. Though I'm not really a fan of old songs, the song was really good! And the dances were amazing. I didn't know they were so talented!

I imagine it would have been a great way to celebrate with good music and dancing like this after the Allies defeated the army of the villain with the short mustache. This music is great.

This era of dancing and music beats todays dancing and music a million times

they did crash sometimes but dancing in those days was done at arms length if you know what i mean and it created space if you couldnt dance like the bill haley clip you needed to get some help it was dangerous believe me if you observe the aerials it was risky this kind of jiving meant dancing with your partner knowing were she was at all times not like on tv nowadays dancing 5 metres apart doing there own thing thats not jiving and im damm sure of that and if a couple were good we would stand back and empty the centre of the dance hall and give them floor space great entertainment when the beatles came on the sceen jiving almost dissappeard the 60s seem to slow down the music but im glad i didnt miss any of those magical years im 71 now and stil turn the clock back now and again --------------
