Words cannot express how happy this makes me.
Brings tears to this 74 year-old's eyes. My Mom and I danced to this music in our kitchen oh so long ago. Thanks!
Big smiles here too :) Swing-dance....is great.
This is the wholesome content that I love on CZcams.
Very wholesome mum and dad.😂💞
This is the kind of dance we should all learn. This is dancing. Love to see everyone enjoying the good music that’s worth it.
swing dancing, the only place where I've seen old and young in perfect harmony
Excellent magnificent observation.
Starting at 2::32, the couple dancing are in their 90s, and are favorites in the swing community. Who are they?? The beautiful Jean Veloz. performed Lindy Hop in many movies in the 1930s and 40s and then had a career as a ballroom dance performer! She still teaches swing.dance. Type her name in CZcams to see her dance in the movies and hear her interviewed about her career. The handsome gentleman is the Reverend Arnold Taylor who served in World War 2 and still fits in his uniform! He comes regularly to Glen Echo and it's an honor to Lindy with him :) . We are soooo fortunate to have them come to the Spanish Ballroom; they are the tie to the Era that created Lindy Hop!!
An update: Rev Taylor ("The Rev") died last month (Mar 2019). He frequently sang at Potomac River Jazz Club events (Sweet Sue was a favorite). Suspect that the music kept him going beyond a normal life span.
Wow, when I saw her come out I said she is gorgeous and must've been a looker in her day. So fun to see her past performances!
Joel Albert aw may he Rest In Peace
@@PotomacTraps oh that's shit sad😥
@@PotomacTraps I stumbled on this video by chance looking for my favourite swing song, grinned the whole way through watching, especially at the Rev's dance with his dance partner. Sad to hear of his passing even though this video is all I know of him. Looks like he had some fun while he was alive, though, which is about as much as we can hope for. :)
The couple with the diamond patterned vest and orange tops were the best!
*me trying to do this with my friends*
scrapes
cuts
hit head
fell
Wow the 40s seemed fun.
Omg that first couple! 😱😱😱Beautiful!!!!
This..young ones... is why your grandparents are cool
I love seeing seniors dance the swing with throws, slides, lifts and flips!!!
Dancing will keep you young. It is a shame that there is no new 'dancing music'. These are great dancers. Thank you. Those two guys doing the "Alligator" across the floor was a riot. It was banned at my high school prom but people did it anyway.
Even old timer has spirit to dance 👏👏👍😄 from Indonesia 🇮🇩
That was amazing and scary all at the same time!! I never knew moves like these were even possible!!!
Me neither !!! they had shown some moves in swing,I have never seen before. :)
Dude in the Superman shirt is there for his girl. Rock on my man! you're going to be one hell of a dad!
I cried twice, it’so beautiful! Thank you so much
I'm loving this!!!!
I am SO glad this popped up in my recommended
Lovely
I live for these moments.
I put this on because I was really feeling anxious before work and wow it has totally calmed me down and I can’t stop smiling 😊❤
Great seeing Tom and Debra after all these years. I miss the Spanish Ballroom.
That's the swing dance it was used in the 19 twenties or thirties it was a great dancing at time I always wanted to learn that dance
That's fun to watch!
Love watching these dances from the 30's and 40's. Just Like home.
Outstanding truley outstanding
Wooow!!! mis respetos para todos, pero en especial para la pareja que se ven mas grandes de edad, ya quisiera yo poder hacer un poquito de lo que ellos hacen!!!!
Absolutely adorable to see older people really enjoying themselves and movement movement movement
These people are three times my age yet can dance ten times better than I'll ever be able to.
no sé ustedes pero se ve que la juventud no pudo contra la experiencia, los señores que salieron primero unos maestros que grandes.
That was a very cool competition! Everyone was so amazing!
I love it !!
I was born in 93 but why do I feel nostalgic.???

This looks like SO MUCH FUN!
I know this couple would have been killing more when they were younger
They ROCKED!!!!!

Tom is a legend.
The good ole days when people actually touched each other while dancing.

It was an age where you could meet a beautiful woman, and within a few minutes be holding her in your arms.
The all look so healthy and good , I can see why ! dancing like this is now an exercise lol
I don't understand why someone will dislike this video
These old people can move better than me #jealous

7:36 No arms were broken in the making of this performance (however, your mind may have when trying to comprehend what happened)
Somebody TEACH me this I want to learn how to lead
My grandmother can do these kinds of dances and my father claims to know how to as well. I would learn if I had time and a partner.

Really cool but sounds of horn is really annoying
yeah big bands would sound a lot better with no horns
