Thistledove omg. that must've been so awesome, bless your grandma fr

Thistledove what year was that? when you were 13

Your grandma sounds amazing

Lol

I thought you were gonna go somewhere with a joke about this video... but tha story is actually pretty cool

Great grandparents

Now your grandkids cut shapes and are cooler than you.

@Fred Forbes except your generation. You sound like a D

@Fred Forbes yeah millennials didn’t do shit but at least gen z are doing something

@Fred Forbes ikr at least gen z is learning to be a little more productive considering the time the US was at when they were born

Just dance like that. You don’t need things to be a trend to do it.

@@keepyourshoesathedoor I dance however I want, it's still fun to see other people do the same thing

we do it in the circle pits

@@bruh666 certain people who are into jazz, swing dance, etc. still do it and I bet some learned it solely from their grandparents or at least heard of it.

I agree. Power to.the ladies, and balance too, with the high heels.

And also how easily the do quick kicks so fast. Trained af

Not arguing they have a lot of talent, but to be fair to the modern woman the backs of those heels are a lot thicker and most likely easier to keep balance on than the skinny little things we have now. Though I’m sure you could find some that are thick if you look.

@@doglovingdaydreamer8352 It's not about how thick the heels are exactly. It's about how well balanced and how well made the shoe is, and modern shoes are garbage. I've bought really expensive shoes in the US and wobbled like crazy and had aching feet. I've bought cheap leather shoes in Europe and they were comfortable. Especially for heels, the important thing is that the weight comes from the hip straighr down through the shoe heel to the ground. A little too far forward or backwards or off to the side and wobbles happen.

They were made better, had lower heels, and you can afford to click and use your heels in that style of shoe. Modern shoes are very chunky and aren't the same style of heels. It's all mostly high heels, and if it's a low heel, it has a pike on the heel and not a larger smooth rectangular heel. I mean, you can still do it in modern low heels, but if you're not used to it, the smaller heel might make you pause.

Зато энергии в избытке!

No they did not 2:54

Me too. It's better than this. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y69djLxm1ZbZoWw.html

Kind of

Meee

Maybe you did

Same.

It’s all that dancing with heels ! I couldn’t imagine the muscles you’d have after all of that lol

I thought I was the only one who noticed

Bringing the 20s back for the 20s...👍

Duror Holmes haha yessss 👏🏻😉

Oh dance with meeee

Dumb? Hell no. It might keep you in shape for a while.

Look, when the zombie apocalypse comes, you'll survive cuz you'll Charleston away before the zombies catch you. It's an exhausting dance. No way they'll keep up with you.

pacnite yes... It's better than modern dance... 😢😢😢

Most people from the 20s are dead...

Unfortunately they are......my parents were from the teens!!!

It was a joke....duh lol

a year from now there will be 20's kids again.

Exactly guys today suck their man pride is such a ridiculous thing back in the day it use to be fun at least I think lol I wasn't born in the 1900's I wish

There's that electro swing (neo swing) you can certainly dance to that anytime.

+Merc420 these days men only follow their dicks while dancing with a girl, they don´t know the real meaning of `fun`

Look at the video by justsomemotion he dances to electro swing.

Yeah, I wish I was a gay man living back then... I wouldn't go to prison or anything...

Lynchings as far north as Duluth in 1920. White people sending postcards of themselves having a fun time watching lynchings. White Supremacist Woodrow Wilson bringing Southern racism up North. Tulsa Oklahoma Massacre 1921. 30,000 KKK in full robes marching down Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC in 1926 - oh yes - the good ole days!

The crossing the hands over legs is called the ham bone.

And it sucks

This comment didnt age well

@@claraclown8036 yes it did. They didn't say anything about 2020. Just that it started.

It was sure damn great. 😢

i was born tooo late

+Emma Moore it's never to late. the 1920's seem to be making a come back. Look at some of the new music by The Speakeasies, Caravan Palace Dramophone, Parov Stelar (Booty Swing). Just to name a few.

+matthew turnquest The 1920s was an explosion of sexuality and defying traditional conventions in popular culture. The 1950s was the complete opposite. It was about sticking to the accepted conventions.

matthew turnquest did u know that this was called the jassie age and the roaring 20s it is were they wanted to live life the fullest by dancing and going to base ball games and bying expensive stuff like cars just a fun fact

I agree, the Roaring 20s had Al Capone, gangsters , bathtub gin , flappers, Charleston ... 1950s had...

Tessie Mae god bless you

And the chicken's trousers?

23 skidoo, kid!

Art deco is gorgeous, oh to have a coat like a lady from the 20’s !

I’m writing a 1920s story (with Steven Universe characters) and I love you so much for this. I’ve been learning slang and looking stuff up all the time

Yeah this is how I dance at the club except by myself, idk why guys never talk to me

ME TOO!!!!

Do you mean like 1:55

You can't just throw yourself around the room and, hey, I'm doing the Charleston. It's a difficult dance.

I envy you

It was probably Electro swing and not techno

@@haselnusszweig5533In the early 2000s?? I’m sure they meant it when they said it was techno

Hello Michelle How are you doing today?

Which 20's?

The 1920s

Sometimes, I'm convinced the 1920's decade was one big party I missed out on. But then again I wasn't born yet.

It's actually from a pro-Rock n Roll movie that the music industry (particularly Alan Freed) made to try and win over the parents to the emerging Rock n Roll youth culture. The film hinges on the parents shouting about how they don't like how their children move or dance, and then towards the end, Alan Freed is like: "You want things the way they were in the old days when things weren't so risque? Well fine, I'm sure you all remember this..." It's the music industry calling out the parents in the film by saying: hey, you were young once too, let the kids enjoy their youth.

One can see by the quality of this footage that it wasn't filmed in the 1920's but at least the 1950's or later.

the 1910s-1920s and 1960s-1970s are my favorite eras because everyone was coked up and having fun

Me too

This comment didn't age well XD

Yes

if only we’d have known

Yep. This most definitely. It was part of Alan Freed's pitch to make Rock and Roll popular with more than just teenagers (because teenagers were an emerging market who only just recently got allowances or after-school jobs in the post-war period, the real money was in convincing the adults it wasn't so bad and that it was rather like their own youthful wild oat days in its own way). The Payloa scandal (along with the arrest/scandals of several of early Rock and Roll's major stars) killed all chance of the genre catching on outside of the teenage market. Luckily for the record companies, the teenage market was destined to blossom when the Baby Boomers took over the position a few years later. When doing research for a paper on Rock and Roll of the pre-Beatles period, I found 1920s comparisons all over the place. The comparison of the 1950s to the 1920s was also a popular trend at the time as Eisenhower was thought to be akin to Calvin Coolidge. And 1920s nostalgia began to really peak in that decade (see the musical: The Boyfriend). In fact prior to Rock and Roll emerging into the (white) popular mindset of 1955/1956, in 1951 (read the TIME magazine article: The Silent Generation)--the adults were actually surprised that they had raised a generation of quiet young adults who were (for the large part) conforming to the norms that their parents told them and weren't rebelling (at least compared to how they lived it up in their youths) at all. They were making comparisons to the 1920s all over that article to show how unlike their parents they were. And then the Silent generation grew up, hit middle age and were the first generation to have a "Mid-Life Crisis" be a life stage issue. Instead of having youthful zeal, as a generation they had a divorce "epidemic", laid the foundations for second-wave feminism (they were the classy ones who insisted on the Ms. label & wore pantsuits--not the Boomer bra burners), and broke away from the norms that their parents in the 1950s had told them to conform to. The very late members of the Silent generation would have enjoyed early Rock and Roll, but for the large part the Silents saved their "rebellious" period for middle age, not their teenage years.

@@Salamon2 I enjoyed reading your comment.

One can tell from the quality of the footage that it was probably filmed in the 1950's and this segment was a tribute to the 1920's.

Jazz was rebellious to the 20s as Rock was in the 50s.

BRAVO!!

My now dead grandfathers were born late this decade, 1928-1929

@@florjanbrudar692 Born same time as Anne Franke and Martin Luther King!. History.

no u dont

If I did, I'd buy every car I could get my hands on.

It wasnt as fun as it seemed. Vaccines weren't big yet, uncontrolled pollution, spanish flu, great depression

+Audrey K All of you recommendations are awesome. ....always felt I should have lived in that era. Thanks! ......I'm thinking 1920's, somehow.

I'm not sure what the second and third suggestions are, but the fourth one sounds like a KZfaq channel and the first one sounds like a modern song. I'm not into this pseudo-1920's and elctro swing trend, i'm only interested in the real 1920's. Hot Jazz without beats, remixing and rapping. Hot Jazz and Orchestral Jazz are perfect the way they are. I'm more interested in the architecture, music, movies, clothing and technology of the 1920's than the hedonistic parties. I know how the 1920's were really like, because i've watched videos that explain how the 1920's were like. I've also watched some scenes from 1920's and 1930's movies, mainly musical sequences. I don't get my information from Hollywood, unlike all those ignorants. I don't like modern music, and i'm not interested in trends.

Hello Belinda How areyou doing today?

@@ThompsonSmith207 i. Good hope you have a wonderful Holliday

Could not make it home for Christmas this year. Where are you texting from?@@Belinda-lm3ol

This what EXACTLY how middle-aged folks saw these dances and music back in the 1920s. They were scandalized by young women moving around like that in such little clothing and called it the "niggerization of America". (So basically how racist people see hip-hop and rap today). Remember that the 40-year olds in the 1920s were born and raised in the 1800s.

BubblePop Media how old is dis bitch

It's because parents have the money to spoil their kid and the kid grows rapping and smoking don't ask the Lord the reason is already in the world

He gave us a gift for a while. Most of it is all gone, Music, Dancing, Actors. There is a little left..

BubblePop Media what’s so bad about rap?

Yes it's a scene from a 50s movie.

This video is from 1956. The music is from the 1920's. 36 years before 1956 that couple was approximately 30 years old. In other words, that couple is listening and watching the music that they danced to when they were 30 years old. That is why the old man wipes away the sweat of shame.

1956.

Hello Kimberly How are you doing today?

There are other dances besides that in the modern era.

Modern dances are garbage, vintage dances are great!

Twerking has been around for generations. Lol

Twerking looks more like someone getting banged in the bum by a ghost rather than a dance. All of the trendy dances on TikTok, Fortnite and all the other garbage that kids nowadays use are just a load of dog poop compared to these dances. The Charleston, the Peabody, Turkey-Trot, Fox-Trot and all the other dances from the 1920's are 100 quadrillion times better than twerking and everything else.

Ever heard of musical theatre? We DO do that!!

that's awesome ^^
