I know, right? It's embarrassing.
Lol
You re sooooooo right, fella.
she cool

I would like to pay tribute to young people aged 15 to 20 who come here to immortalize the songs and dances of the 40s, 50s and 60s. Congratulations to everyone who has good taste !!
Lotta luvv ;)) we know a good dancing song when we hear one
@@ellax7434 yep ! cheers...
Thanks, only 16; been listening to a lot of glenn miller lately.
@@45thnMoncrief Congratulations Seven...
been listening to these for awhile now and they are great
85 and cant stop my feet doing as they will, but the body cant follow them up. Oh sweet memories of a young lad.
God bless you. I knew this music because of my parents (WWII greatest gemeration ever lived) and both served in the U.S. Navy. Grew up with Benny Goodman, Glen Miller, Cab Calloway, Andrew Sisters...they all were great artists. I was a product of the 70s Disco generation, so I could relate to this great music. Not comparing Disco to Big Bands, but all the same, you just could not sit still....you had to get up and dance! Great, great, music and timeless!
Ya gotta love this!!!! 💘
What a tart
Donald Remnant you are as young as u feel x
@@bonitaknierim8677 lad did you see marlon brando
It would be awkward to meet him😶😶
OMG, that's how my mom and dad danced around the house when I was a kid in the 1950s. My dad would swing my mom up and over his back, and fling her back and forth between his legs, neither one of them missing a beat.
Classy ages classy people
My granny and grandad from dublin used to dance to the andrew sisters
That must've been freaking cool.
OH MY GOD MY
PARENTS & GRAND PARENTS DANCED LIKE THAT TOO DURING NEW YEARS AT OUR HOUSE PARTYS WHEN I WAS 5 YEARS OLD!! MY DAD USED TO GRAB ME TWIST ME AND FLIP ME OVER IT WAS SO MUCH FUN GREAT FUN MEMORIES!! ONE TIME MY DAD & MOM TRAINED ME AND MY BROTHER TO DANCE EXACTLY LIKE THAT AND TO DRESS LIKE THAT FOR DANCE CONTEST TO WIN A 50 POUND HUGE TURKEY WITH BOXBOF MASHED POTATOES TURKEY DRESSING CORN BISCUITS & CHAMPAGNE!! WE WERE THE LAST TO DANCE THE DANCE CONTEST WHEN WE DANCED WE WON HANDS DOWN!’ MY PARENTS & GRAND PARENTS AND GREAT GRAND PARENTS WERE SO PROUD OF US ME AND MY BROTHER
WE WERE IN SEVENTH 7TH GRADE WE WOULD NEVER FORGET IT!!! OT WAS FUN SCARY AT SAME TIME THE SCHOLL TOOK SO MANY PHOTOS!!
Bullshit
Post WWll Japan. My Japanese mother learned to dance mostly to Glenn Miller hits. That's when my U.S. Air Force father met her. And here I am, 68 years later, and I still listen to Glenn Miller's hits on both 33.3 rpm records and CDs.
That music is super gold, my dear
I used to dance just like this with my partner in 1951. So glad to see kids interested in this once again. Hope it comes back big time....and the Big Band, too!!! I'm still swing dancing, just not quite as fast. :-)
+Amy Ayers Hi there, you may be the best person to answer this. Back in the 1950's did people learn to dance swing or did they just pick it up? For example, like how a non native of Brazil would have to learn samba because it isn't common to their country... Thank You.
+SweetTea742 hmm..still no answer. Id like to know too :)
Gema Jimenez I'm still waiting too lol :-)
SweetTea742 haha hopefully she'll reply
would you dance with me darling?
Boy, when you asked a woman to dance in those days, you'd better be DAMNED sure you knew what you were doing!
absolutely !!!!!!!!!
HOLY Cowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Haha for real
Great comment. 🙈😅
And that you're in condition!
John Edwards not to mention needing to have COMPLETE trust in your partner.
These were the days of genuine clean fun. It was when an American dream was tangible. The swing was so popular. People respected each other. It was an era when you could leave your doors unlocked and gas up your car and pay after. It was a stabilized time in life.❤
Times have always carried their share of hardships, regardless of the era. Like everything else, there are pros and cons. Romanticizing a particular period as perfect is a mere product of nostalgia. In truth, the present holds some advantages: there are fewer wars compared to the past, and we have made progress in addressing issues such as xenophobia, sexism, and other social problems. It is important to acknowledge the flaws of the past while appreciating the advancements we have achieved in the present.
@@AraneaTempestatibus
The era wasn't perfect but less complicated and problematic in my opinion which I am entitled to as well as you are.
Absolutely
I know my history. World history and American history. This time was the peak of western civilization. Today you can see the population shopping in their pajamas, face tattoos etc..there is no comparison between the children of the European immigrants and this anything goes freak show of today. Anybody that says otherwise is delusional.
You are absolutely right!
I know I'm 23 but I think the classic music is really beautiful

I love jazz so much, and I am 17! You just have to dance!
David Mehnert iiiii
Jackie...it's SWING!!!! A form of Jazz. Swing is major chord harmony arrangements (other songs "arranged" into a different time, different instruments given primacy - Glen Miller gave the primary themes to woodwinds, not brass). Some original compositions and yeah, lifted sections of true classical (the masters) music changed. For fun - Benny Goodman's 1936 rendition of a Louie Prima composition, SWING, SWING, SWING. FABULOUS!!! Keep on truckin' Miss. I'm 75 now and have loved Swing since I was a child. Also - note - true Dixieland (another form of Jazz) go to Tuba Skinny here on CZcams. Fabulous!
in 4 years it will be the 20's again. lets bring back swing...........
Swing is still very popular. I just wish I could dance it. Love swing music. It's happy stuff and will never diminish in popularity.
It would be fkcn awesom! I've never thought of it this way. Hopefully I can live through the 50s and rock with Chuck Berry!
If that happens... I could finally get a jazz band together and find gigs easily!!!
we are bringing back the depression instead
why do you say in 4 years?
I wish people still danced like this!!! Those are some mind-blowing moves!!
For sure friend !!!
My friend keeps telling me that I dance in regular parties like I escaped from interwar period🙈
I do, live to a rock and roll band Friday, and the Dance School Summer Ball Saturday, today, 23 july 23.
Nice, ...at 72.
Some people, like BIDEL KASTRO, said it was rubbish.
I wish I still could .-------
Wish there were a club to go to with this music. Would be so fun. And I would love to waltz also.
Me too 👍🏼
My dads 93 yrs old. Fought in (WW2) -The big one-. Doesnt like to talk about what happened "over there",+ all the friends he lost. He believes in his heart it was for a good cause. With all he went through, he still believes he grew up in the greatest era. I love him with all my heart.

Lots of love sweetheart 💗💗💗💗💗
Good Grief!...I'm 82 years old, so all this dancing was during my youth!..but, I certainly couldn't dance like that, although I sure wish I could have. But, I did the foxtrot quite well which looked like dancing "The Peabody"....this was the end of the best of the best dancing era EVER!..
+Salvatore Pedi Some people my age seem to think everyone from the past looked like Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra, and danced like them too.
This is the reason my father loved to dance he passed away 9 years ago and even at 75 78 years old my father still love to dance and move that same way with that energy amazing amazing inspirational videos brings back memories of my father
Hello Maria, How are you doing?
I like swing,jives, old. Music like dis, it makes ur heart young again
This is my favourite song to dance to, when my husband and I went dancing I always requested the D.J to play it. We used to combine the quickstep and the jive which made it more interesting. Nowhere to dance anymore though.. Wish they would bring back the big dance halls again. I am 79, but play this song and I am 21 again xx
I feel the same way...I'll be 79 this coming Friday & still have the wonderful memories of those years....but I can still manage to dance around my kitchen ....tee hee...
you rock n roll angel :)
im 33 n this gets me 2 my bones you know its just timeless :)
as are we :)
I wish it would come back omg can’t get enough of swing! The young don’t know what they missed! I missed the forties with all the big swing bands! I am up there but I want to dance every day!

I am from this era, and what a wonderful era it was for swing music and dancing. I just can't fathom 1600 dislikes for this video!
Whoever they are, we dont want them here anyways - i wish it was still popular to dance like this so i could learn itttt
@@ellax7434 you can learn it its just nowadays hard because people forget how to do it
Their missing out on a lot, and have a weird eye/ ear for goodness!
put it down to poor taste
I've seen home movies of my Mom & my aunt jiving like we see here in the film clip. Mom knew how to dance.
It's no wonder they say the greatest music came from this generation
kids now dance to tiktok while their grandparents danced like this.
That's shameful
Hey, teachers. Leave them kids alone.
I dance like this every weekend. Not all kids have bad taste
Listen guys, I was born in 1942, lived through all this, loved it then, loving it even more now, thanks for posting.
born in 44
best music time in my opinion.
+B3rettaZ26 From 97' here and OMG I LOVE IT SOO MUCH!
where are you!!! lets dance babe!!!
+B3rettaZ26 I'm from Mexico ;'3
I was taught swing dancing in middle school (my school's tradition). I think that's what sparked my obsession with the 40's and 50's.
If only more people my age knew swing! I'd love to dance like this again.
swing dancing came from the 20s and 30s born in harlem
My grandmother just turned 85 years old,and she always tells me fun going to dance halls back then were.
My Dad and Mom back in WW2 , miss them with all my heart...
Wow!!!!!!!!... Swing dancing!!!!!..... Amazing!!!!!!!....
we need to bring swing back!
Noah Calderon I don't believe nazis were too fond of it
swing is fun, not as hard to dance as some other styles and overall swing is one of the best styles that Americans have come up with :-)
swing is everywhere yo just need to know where to fund it..
Absolutely!

My great grandma is in this video omg 😮🤯
That's AMAZING!
@@elizabethcherry3933 ik I didn't know she looked like that untill my mom showed me a picture of her when she was in her 20's
Just out of curiosity - if you don't mind - could you say which part is she in? You're so lucky to be able to see her in a video :)
Is she the smexi one jiving like a boss?!
Lets bring back these times. Just without the big wars, please.
Wars, Eric Burden & War is okay!🙂
The good old days weren't always good, and today's not as bad as it seems. Those times were filled with racism, lots of petty crime, diseases that they had no treatments for, early deaths from cancer, strokes and heart attacks, poor elderly, and even more cross cultural hate than today, if you can even imagine that. Pretty much no one ever dated or married outside their own religion, culture or race. Life as a woman? Get married and raise kids, that was it. Life as a minority in America? Menial jobs. There were no equal opportunity laws.
Poor or working class? No college for you!
Not fun.
A weekend of nights dancing couldn't make up for all that was missing.
Germany is calm nowadays, I'm just not sure about the 2020's.
@@nimpbl3494 They never went away! Just went underground or underreported.
Pretty sure the wars are what made them party this hard. When the world seems to be going to hell you might not have a tomorrow to spend worrying about what you did today so live like you might not get another chance.
Grandpa knew how to swing it! THE GREATEST GENERATION!!
Mom & Dad were exhibition dancers back then and I've never lost my love for swing bands. ..back in the day when musicians made the music and not tech processing.
This. Music. Never. Gets. Old.....
I play this music while shooting people in roblox big paintball
I'm 78 and can't really "fast dance" anymore, but can still play trombone. So I bought 3 new ones and enjoy playing Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and the beautiful ballads of that era, my favorite of which is "Stardust." ... They had really great music back then and songs with more than just 3-4 chords in them.
My grandmother sent me to the Arthur Murray Dance Studio when I was in high school. Every Saturday morning for a year. What a wonderful gift. Made me a pretty good dancer. Thanks Grandma!
how I wish I could just step into the screen and join them there!
Born too late! GenX here, & wish my dances were half this much fun...
That's America ! So much to cherish and love about her !
A time when dancing was clearly so much fun!
It really was! I would spin my wife on the dance floor at her high school sock hops, slide her between my legs, forewards and back, lift her to my left side and then swing her around to my right side, and spin her again, back in the late 60's, and we did a lot of the moves seen here, because that is where the Bebop came from, Jive dancing, Lindy hop and the Jitterbug were all forerunners of the Bebop, which by the way is a lot more fun than the twist, locomotion, or any of the other silly dances they started to invent in the 60's. Most of the other students would clear a space on the dance floor and just watch us go at it. My wife was and is a gorgeous Strawberry Red Haired woman, quite tall at 5' 9", and only weighed 130 lbs, has more curves than a Nevada mountain rd. When I spun her, that circle skirt that she wore, and still does today, would rise up and show off the cutest butt, and the best darn legs in the state of Nevada!! I was, and still am 215 lbs 6' 3" tall, quite strong, and could get away with doing all the moves. We still Bebop and Jive, at our local swing dance club meets, and the other dancers still give us some space and watch us go at it. This style of dancing will keep you fit, strong, and happy!! Only difference now is that I don't throw her around like I used to, as I am a bit older than back then!
Better than that twerking nonsense today.
@@treseancann1261 You can appreciate one style without bashing another there is no need to call twerking nonsense when there is nothing wrong with it it’s a valid dance too
@@di7209 unfortunately it is nonsense. A woman extending to vulgarity to get attention isn’t a classy respectable woman that should be raising your children unless you want a bad influence and your children twerking too which I doubt. Even these street guys don’t want women like that that’s why most of them who are like that are considered smash and passes. There’s a reason guys get hyped when they go out with a classy woman who’s decent and has got her life straight and isn’t fazed by a attention seeking women who wants the wrong attention from men I’ve seen how guys react it’s completely different and if we start raising a society/children to more respectful things they will be more inclined to be respectful too saying twerking is alright is complacency and raises a complacent society.
Don't think there has ever been an era, other than this, that has spawned such amazing finesse, and astounding, perfectly timed groove on the dance floor. This is serious dance, here. And, from what I have seen, no other form of dance can even touch this. These people really knew how to tear shit up. It just doesn't get any better.
Love this, really uplifting glen miller music❤ Bring it on !!
Hi y'all I was born in 1968 and I dig this music it's just groovy God bless you youngsters
Even as an older man, my dad could swing! He was a great leader, too. I didn't know how to swing, but I could do it with him!
That's adorable!
Kirsten I. Russell
I love all of it - the powerful main part, the synchronization, the costume changes and the quiet ending.
God I love watching our grandparents as young people having a good time! They deserved it!
My Mom used to dance to Glenn Miller (and others) at the DanceLand in Montreal in the late 40s. She loved it. I do miss her. Gone in 1987.
I'm positively in love with the electric energy of swing music and the mesmerizing dancing to accompany it. As I was browsing the comments, originally ecstatic to see people who feel the same way about Swing, I must admit I was rather disheartened by all the hate filled comments. While today's dancing is less modest, why can we not appreciate the sexual liberation dancing today has brought us, along with adoring the gorgeous dance moves that brought us here?
You should not look at the YT comments section, because some of the dumbest shit imaginable gets posted there!!
@@prebooomer i agree, but I feel like it's just the intuition of young people. If young people back then were exposed to social media, I suspect they may have said similar nasty things about people from the past! It's just the culture, and like we have broken racial barriers, we too can make efforts toward breaking some aspect of our historical ignorance! (coming from a fellow youth)
Judging from the way these people are dancing, my dad was right when he said a long time ago "you kids today don't know how to have fun".
Boy, my daddy could cut a rug to this music!
😯woah
I'm so in love with the sound of the music of the era. so fun 👍🏻🎵🔊
Better than that twerking nonsense today.
So lovely music !

Me 2 i love big band sound
I would go back if I wasn’t black
Me 2!!
@@peskypigeonx yep
Couldn't agree more.
To this day people still are dancing to this music.
'Sing, sing, sing' is the coolest song of the 20th Century.
In The Mood was a forerunner of clean rock. My parents danced to it and then wondered about their kids dancing the same way. It's brilliant stuff and should be recognized as such.
As a little lad in Glasgow we were very very poor my dad had an accumlator radio and I remember so much the magic that got us out of these dark dark days I was only 4 at the time! wonderful thank you so much
It is wonderful to see these young boys and young girls dancing so beautifully.
I'm only 17 and I wish this was still a common thing. I played video games like Fallout and Bioshock at an early age that made me fall in love with the whole 40's Era in terms of fashion and music.
absolutely, this video had me flabbergasted !
I'm 17 too and I think I'm going to do swing dance lessons. You can still enjoy it even if it's not in fashion:)
annie vg2077 - In larger cities, there ARE still Arthur Murray studios that teach swing. As a side benefit, you will meet young men who love to dance. Good luck to you.
Why don't you contact Rusty Frank, Jean's close friend, for really cool lessons in swing and ALSO to be connected to the whole, rather large swing subculture for kids your age?
annie vg2077 Same!! And being an Actress it's great having to dance like this and also act 👍👏😁
These people can dance and I am so jealous of them. Boy they are so damn good
Get it together let's dance!!!!!!!!!
I was born in 1965 and I absolutely love this era of music the song.. sound..and dancing
Me to !!!
Im 17 and would much rather listen to this than anything that is on the radio these days.
I don't blame you Zac, for every pop song that's half-way decent the next five are garbage but it can be worse with rap. I'm black but I despise that thuggish nonsense!
@@catholiccrusader5328 I loathe rap. Sadly every gym class I go to it is every song that plays extremely loud. Sadly whenever I try to choose a song they switch it back half way through.
To Zac,Fred & Nate:I'm 62 & black & I agree with all three of you.Give me this the old soul,rock & roll classics,jazz this & the Great American Song Book artists like Nat,Frank,Tony & Ella & classic country & I'm happy!

j'adore les musiques cette époque ,joyeuses et aussi douces. Merci a tous ces compositeurs et musiciens qui me font rever à chaque fois que j'écoute ces morceaux.
Vous avez raison!
I'm 15 years old and I love music and dancing like this more than anything else : ) I wish more people my age liked this stuff
This.... this right here is dancing. I love this. Fantastic music and dancing. What fun times
I love This Swing !
Ja też.
Francois Kneider this is lindy hop style swing
This really cheered me up today-what fantastic music, by the legend, Glenn Miller! Oh what style! It's almost like a ballet, with upbeat high energy moves, and fun!!! Love it.
Oh wow, that was brilliant.
The music in this clip was NOT the Glenn Miller Orchestra. Glen did record many of the tunes we heard here, but again, this was not his band on the clip
In the first clip the dancers name is jean veloz and the name of the song is one girl and two boys from Swing fever. She is now 93 years young and there is a CZcams video with her dancing the same routine with that clip playing in the a background. Please find it and watch. She still " has the beat. " i will be dirt when I'm 93, to see her is a joy! Search "Incredible 93 year old dances routine she did in a movie", you will be amazed by her!
Before Television people were more imaginative & motivated..instead of the swing we now have the slouch.
Makes me think of my parents when they met in England during World War II. The Swing and Boogie Woogie sounds and dancing had it going on and still do.
God I love swing dancing and swing music so much
My mom & dad's era. I grew up with this music. Makes me think of them always when I hear it.
I was born July 29th 1963 but I'm going to tell you something I'm about loving this thanks to my grandmother born in 1900 and my grandfather born in 1899 grew up in the later years of the Swing era for listening to something alternative and not the garbage music we listened to it today this is the best
Im 20 years old... I want some partys like this nowadays omg so fun!
marry me haha
I wish I were born during this time-just LOVE this music!
Helloooo Linda, you are interested in those oldies but goldies music. I played them numerous times on my radio broadcasts. I am happy to have a friend who likes that kind of music.
There are places around where you can go and learn to do Lindy Hop dancing, which obviously bring in this music. Used to do it ages ago, and it is sooo much fun. If you like this music, it's really worth having a go, and not too hard to learn. When we got married, we had some swing type music, and some of the folks from the Lindy Hop club I belonged to came along, it was great. They also did a 'shim sham' which is a group swing jazz dance. What country are you based in?
It will take younger people like us to keep this music alive. I know that our grandparents would love for us to make every effort to keep swing alive. As a fan of swing I will do everything I can to keep Swing alive.
LOL Get "born again "
Lol :)
Wow, all I can say is WOW. The love of swing dance and big band music is what brought me here. These dancers can really move.
Glen Miller''s orchestra's performance of swing music is out of this world & an electrifying experience listening to this rythimic & beat arrangement is sensational & the dancers enjoying in participating with frenzy of movements to the rythim & beat.
The music in this clip isn't by the Glenn Miller Orchestra. It's a different band that recorded this.
"In the mood", is what got me into the genre.
I've watched this so many times and still get a kick out of it...
In another life, I played sax with Duke Ellington and Glen Miller. I can feel it every time I hear these songs. I was born in the wrong era.
There are still some good Big Bands out there. You just need to find them. One "modern" example of big band music is in the 1980 musical XANADU. Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton John. A true pair of powerhouse musicians.
It's music and dancing like this that totally explains why women were always asking "Are my seams straight?!" I don't care what year or decade this is, this type of music will NEVER go out of style. Any music you can't sit still to will always be around, 'cause ya can't ignore the beat!
I love swing dancing. When I was a young girl there was a tall guy in our town that could really swing dance,he could throw me all around and I fell in love with this dancing. I later on became a dance teacher.
Come on! I need this in my life! Bring back swing dancing!!!! PLEASE!!! I'm despreate!!!!!
I hear you. I can't stand that twerking crap today.
This music is from when men were men and women were women, that would stand up for this nation.
I wish they still danced like this while I was in high school.
Man O Man, I never get tired of watching this !!! Why O Why did time have to pass. Wow 367 thumbs down ??? Those are people who don't know jack shit about good music and real dancing

don't worry about the crap.
The thought that most of the those people if not all them aren't alive makes this kind of sad but besides that, its truly an amazing video
I am 80 years old and wore out a few pairs of shoes to this and other swing music. I can still wear out most young folks on the dance floor.

What dancing - what music - what a great life we had all those years ago !!!!!
Yeah it was, if you were middle class or higher, and white, everybody else thought it pretty much sucked shit, especially if you were Black, Hispanic, Gay, or any other minority, or white trailer trash!
I am 77 and we use to have party like that at home every Saturday with our friends ,we knew how to have fun
Mum and dad in the kitchen preparing foods and refreshments going for ever it seems ,those were the day of joy and simple fun
And if we turned the lights down for a Johnny Mathis song and slow dance there wasn't a lot of fuss. We acted responsibly and were rewarded with trust.
Yes, Good Old Days!!! d(6__6)b
Bless you mam
PURE CLASS!
People of the 50's sure knew how to party
20s
@@ratface1208 the 40s , they was doing the Charleston in the 20s
50 years ago we were slim and strong and danced like this. I am as old as dirt now but still love this video.
In 1996 I met my parents in Reno for my Dad's Navy reunion. On Friday people in their 70's-80's arrived looking tired. On Saturday night some fit into their uniforms! When the Big Band music broke out they became young again! The dancing was incredible! Not as acrobatic but amazing!
Music in the 1940's are much better than the music we listen to today.
that's naturally..because you're too old..
NuuJackSwing I'm 15, music today had a bad effect on us today since rap music came out, I would still listen to the 1940's in the future when swing would be considered ancient....screw reality.
destructoidjm just listen to electro swing, it's a thing
Penguinox Yes I've listened to electro swing, quite good actually.
I'd recommend Proleter, he makes great-sounding swing-like music.
I am so glad my parents introduced me to their music and the dancing!
With my future behind me, enjoy it all, it is pleasure supreme.
Back when dancing was elegant and took teamwork
Lots of class. These folks seemed happy. It was a great era!
Fora de série.
Maravilha.
Sonoridade da Orquestra é 1000.
Swing Puro👍👍👍👍
What struck me as strange is that this is like four very, VERY popular songs all mashed together. I like it! Especially ‘In The Mood’ and ‘Sing, Sing, Sing’
I so want to go to a party with music like this. The costumes, the dancing an all.

I remember my Great (amazing great grandpa). He used to play amazing danc'n songs and all of my family would dance in the kitchen together, to swing music, bobby day, anything that makes us dance. My great grandpa was sure Great. :)
I always wanted to learn Swing! It's so energetic and fun :))
I wish I will..one day.
+Petite Chinoise I bugged my mom for years to teach me....She was too shy but I'm betting she was damn good! I'm 62 now and looking for a dance class for swing/jive.
+Petite Chinoise DO IT DON'T WISH?
+Cheryl Simser never too late !!!!
I live in Paris, and there we do have jazz and swing dance clubs ! the funniest thing is that you'll find there every age range of dancers, but all come just to have fun !!
Ann Wels Dance and music are the most joyful things. Yes! It is never too late. :)
+Petite Chinoise Go for it! It's lots of fun and the basic moves are really easy to learn! I go to university and am lucky enough that practically everyone here knows how to swing and waltz and a few know how to polka or foxtrot. Just go for it.
