You aren't kidding! I use to take dance back in my teens and early 20's, did mostly ballroom but I had a friend who was very into swing dancing and got me into it too. This has a lot of swing dance in it; it's as fun as it looks but when you get hurt, it hurts! 😅

Ooooh man. When I heard this music coming from the living room and the house started to shake I couldn't find a hole big enough to hide in. Cuz I knew my big sisters were coming to find me and bring me out to the living room floor and make me dance with them! 55 years later I'd give anything to go back to those days....

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.

grampy thirteen I wish I could grow up back then. I'm still a teen and when I look around my high school, it makes me sad and think what went wrong. I grew up listening to my parents music and I was raised a lot like the 1980s, so I can't complain to much. But I totally prefer the way things were back then. Now everyone lacks respect and kindness for each other I find.

Great scene with some fantastic dancing. I have this movie on video somewhere in my collection. It's called "Don't Knock the Rock" from 1956. The people dancing here are professionals because it takes a lot of skill, good timing and stamina to dance like that. I used to be able to dance like that without the flips and the fancy maneuvers when I was younger but now nearing 50, forget it. The brain says go, go but the arthritis in the knees says sit down sucker you ain't going nowhere. Getting old sucks! Lol. Thank you for uploading this clip.

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
