What most of us think of as jitterbug is East Coast Swing - slow, slow, quick, quick taking up six beats of the 8 count phrase. The video is showing Lindy, which uses all 8 beats of the phrase starting on the one. There is a free Lindy dance at CMU every Thursday night with a lesson by Lisa Tamres, if anyone wants to learn this.
Gotta love when your boomer parents parent's get called out for not being manly enough in 1944. I gotta wonder what manliness today's people are referring too.
Too bad can't find a Nice girl who want to Practice dance like that. I'm 19 years old and have an old soul living inside me and this is also my favorite dance including Twist for........Single 😒. (btw i usually twist when nobody is home😅)
I wish we had the style from the era. Everything from recreation to social interaction to societal aesthetics was sp much better. Ever feel like you miss a place you've never been? I miss wholesome, non- degenerate, anti-communist america.
Yup! I’m part of GenZ and realize they had much more class or style. It’s so weird that none of our slang is new, he used more current slang than most people today lollol
Forget tiktok! This is gold.. best thing ive seen during quarantine
Laura you need to touch grass it’s not that big of a deal please stop

Is the jitterbug one type of Lindy hop, then? Is Lindy hop a category of dances rather than just one?
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen 😂
That was fantastic! To think, most of those people were my grandparents' age. I wonder if they jitterbugged and boggie woogied?
if my future husband doesn't jitterbug with me, I dont want it
Me tooo!

When the narrator said wHen MeN weRe MeN and I’m like didn’t they already have masculinity intact culturally??
And these young adults were not boomers but from the silent Gen
This is the most cartoonic tutorial dance video I've ever seen xD
You don't know about Pete Smith and his short subject films.
Better than what is around in 2021
Okay boomer
Bravo!
This is actual slapstick chaos

A very informative and funny piece of history that one won't find in any books. Thanks for uploading.
Interesting they called it the jitterbug considering most of it was technically Lindy Hop moves
Lindy!!
