How can you not fall in love with someone while dancing like this

I thought grandma needed the hip replacement because of old age but it was really because she was living life hard back in the day.

When I was 12 I didnt even know my parents could dance.. Then one night in 1987 or so, at a birthday party, in the middle of the living room, they did EXACTLY THIS right in front of me!! My eyes POPPED out of my head!

Today this old footage simply expresses fun and youth - but back in the 50's it meant shock and horror to the prudish adults. Thanks for posting!

I want this type of dancing back.

My dad is 83 and can still dance like this, minus the jumping lol. Use to love watching mom and dad dance.

When you realize your parents were far cooler than you'll ever be!

The energy from 1:10 onwards was insane! I wish dances were still like this nowadays.

I was a teenager in the 50s and for us it was the Friday night dance at the VFW...cokes in 6 ounce bottles for a nickel and beer was only .69 cents a six pack a dime for a pack of Camels non filter. I'm old now but can still dance the shoes off ladies half my age. Rock til you die.

I love the fact that they fall or almost fall to the ground but they play it off and continue smiling, not stop and run in embarrassment.

my grandma is 73 and she remembers dancing like this with her brothers as a kid 🥰

And none of those people bumped into each other dancing like that. Amazing!

I wish more people still danced like this...I love it!!

2019 is impressed with you 1950

I sometimes think that if we just had more social dancing and much less social media everyone would be so much happier !

Oh man…to think my grandparents were dancing like this in their 20’s and I’m sitting here in my 20’s watching this. Let’s bring it back please! This looks so fun.

This looks so damn fun. I'd love to spend my evenings like this. And also it seems like a great way to keep fit too with how energetic it is lol

These people are someone's great grand parents lol.

I honestly don't know how many times I've watched this video, but every time I catch myself smiling. HOW FUN!

Can't help but notice those people look a lot happier then we all do these days😅

Boy that’s what you call having fun in those days I was having a heart attack just looking at them

if this is what it was like to go out these days id never be home

Guy in the glasses was named Ken Criswell. He was a great dancer and was many movies dancing and teaching other extras how to dance. He was from Kentucky.

Now that what I call high energy dancing. Wish I could move like that.

Amazing how the girls could dance like that wearing tight straight skirts.

This honestly had me smiling the whole time. I wish days were still like this. It just looks so much like a “simple life” and I’m here for it.

Such energetic dancing like this isnt easy. Bill Haley and the Comets delivering one hell of a beat that also focused strongly on rhythm, he unlocked that formula to get people to move and you just can't sit still when Bill Haley plays.

Watching this video brings tears to my eyes. How happy and jovial they looked to the sound of the song. They were amazing dancers.

I wear skirts/dresses and people always ask me “how do you do that with a skirt/dress”. From now on, I will refer them to this video!! I just walk in my dress/skirt in all seasons. It’s nothing compared to THIS!

It's Staurday night and I'm spending my evening alone on the internet watching how people used to spend their Saturday nights back when their was no internet. The future isn't what it used to be.

I get tears in my eyes while watching this. This people had far more fun compared to my generation. I’m 30 years old, been to a lot of different kind off dancing clubs, never had that grade of fun as the people on the video. Most of the people at my age are staring at their phones in the club. I wish i was born during that era.

Some of the coolest, most brilliant dancing I've ever seen. Wow!

Amazing. The little fella in the glasses and his partner were exceptional👌🌟👏💕

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

bill haley very much underated the comets were the tightest combo in rock brilliant musicians

Damn! Look at all these beautiful couples! They could really dance those days! The way they move is amazing! That's frankly impressive!

60% dancing 40% judo moves

This makes me smile. It's fun to see people dance like this. They look like they are so happy and that they don't need to drink just to have fun. I wish it were the same in these times too, but it's too rare.

I feel so melancholic watching this....its so surreal that there was such an era......soo nostalgic and just beyond words.....

This is the best experience for me 👍👍👌all moving is really good 👍 👍👍💃💃🕺🕺

These days only cartoon characters dance like that

When i watch them.i feel i want to dance like them..they look so happy dancing

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 😂.

As if they lived at another dimension. That's Art folks.

This is when guys could dance! Ladies looked pretty.

a lot of kids could use this type of exercise today

This is what my parents living room looked like every weekend. I had an older brother and sister whose friends all were welcome at our house. I was only in my preteens but I loved watching them.

Grandparents decade was awesome!!!❤ I'm jealous 😢

got to admit.. that takes skill

As I watch this, I am more and more convinced that I took the right music genre to listen to. Rock and Roll will never die.

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

I WANNA LIVE IN THIS TIME!!!! I've watched "Last night in Soho" last night, and GOD I LOVE IT!!!!

Can't believe they didn't recognize,Bill Hailey and the Comets in the description!!!COME ON!!!!

I love the style. The moves. The energy.

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

bring back dancing like this fr. In high school dances nowadays people just stand around

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

They are so naturally real and enjoyed their times... Something we have all been lost somewhere midway ...

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

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....

this is so fucking cool I cant like what they all look like professional dancers

Now that's what I call dancing!!!

Love this 1959 for the dance and music, bring back them vibes!!

currently doing a swing dance marathon. please i miss this type of dancing

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.

A little before my time (73), but great dancing with Bill Haley and His Comets. "Rock Around The Clock" by Bill Haley and His Comets is considered to be the first truly rock 'n roll song. Thanks for the video!

This is one of my favourite videos on KZfaq, always makes me smile like a fool 😆

Now THAT'S Dancing!! And the music was GREAT! In case you didn't realise - I'm 78 years old!

I could watch this dance for HOURS!!!

I want a time machine...

I wasn't born but the music is AWESOME!! It sounds GOOD!! I definitely LOVE the way this generation dances.

Oh my God I want to be there so badly right now.

I would like to thank the young audience, aged between 15 and 20, who somehow enjoys music and dances from the 50's and 60's. Congratulations, you have good taste!

The BEST thing I ever saw in my life

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.

This is the real happiness.

This video makes me so happy

As good as it gets! That little guy with the black glasses is amazing and the girl also.

I’m one of those great-grandmas, and I remember those moves like it was today. 🤩

Танцевальная музыка супер

50s had some intense dance moves O__O

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.

No hoodlums, no baggy pants.. Just pure Rock 'n Roll fun 😁👍🏻

Классно,мне нравится,почти все ,что я люблю слушать и танцы,да разве все опишешь,спасибо.

I remember dancing the jitterbug and we were moving, had a ball of fun, none of us were on drugs or booze, we just danced & loved the music .Like Elvis said, you just have to move with the music.

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!

One of the things I notice when I see scenes/ photos/ movies and documentaries from the 50s and 60s is how slim and healthy people, especially teenagers and young adults look.

They are very good dancers

Damn our grandparents wildin

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.

This what you call ecstasy!! Raises your vibration sky rocketing high let alone the physical benefits!! Life is supposed to be fun too, not just challenging. Doesn't cost much!

I was born far too bloody late. What a blast.

I watched this 30 times in a row. I need to find people like in my city

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

That is some BAD ASS dancing! WOW!

I believe people were much happier in that era. At least they look like they have so much real fun together. Women and men were really enjoying each other, and look at the people now....

BILL HALEY & HIS COMETS! The TRUE Originators of Rock & Roll!

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

это так классно, чёрт возьми 😭💔 я едва сидел на стуле, чтоб не пуститься в пляс тоже

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!
