It is impossible to watch this and sit still. I am 73, overweight and due to arthritis can barely walk. But I got up off the sofa and started jigging around. I was dancing! It was wonderful. Thank you! So happy!
My dad dance like this! He pushed all the furniture aside on Saturday nights and taught us all the old school dances in our family room. He kept say “kids, these dances are going to come back”....thanks y’all for keeping them alive...and my father’s spirit too!

Most cities have swing dance clubs or dance groups that keep all the best ballroom dancing alive. Most rec centers have classes. Check out contra dancing. It’s more community based dancing. Fun way to spend a few hours.
My mom and dad danced like this…they left me with awesome memories and I can’t sit still when I hear good music. Thanks for the memories mom and dad…I miss y’all ❣️
After watching this through, I was so impressed by the skill a grace seen here. And, I was convinced I could do what they did, with just minimal practice. So, using this music, I gave it a shot. After only a couple of attempts, I nailed it ! I was able to sit in the floor, legs crossed and watch the dancers, just like they did ! A camera malfunction prevented proof of my success, but the satisfaction is there. Great video ! I exhausted now, but loved it !

In other dancing styles the contestants are serious and sometimes dramatic, this is the only style where you get soaked in positive energy just by looking at it. It's funny, fast, cartoonish, but still elegant. It's so intriguing.
Most dance styles have a main emotional theme. Like the Tango is melancholic, the Rumba is seduction, Samba is vitality etc. and Lindy is playfulness. Wouldn't downplay the other dances, but you do best the dance in the emotion you like to soak in..
Exactly! The whole point is to exude fun and momentum and every single one of the dancers look like they’re just putting it all out there and having a hell of a time just doing dance tricks and having fun doing them!
This is one of the things that needs to make a serious comeback in American society. The happiness and joy that comes from dancing has the ability to smother the dark of depression!
Do you find this unusual? Just in case, all of these dancers are award winning dance professionals and teachers; for example, three couples are world boogie-woogie champions (and there are champions of the US, Europe, etc., in different swing styles). Most of them have been performing and teaching together for years (so you can find many great videos with them on UA-cam, see comments for a list).

Thanks a ton for the list. Got to love and respect these awesome dance couples and dancers. In fact, now it pains me to see them in competitions where there are just 1st, 2nd & 3rd winners. I've seen them through the years, and at some points, some score above others. That's why I like, get-together programs like this one. Where they are exibiting their skill and having fun. Missed Stevie boy (Stephen Sayer). Pleasure seeing Nils & Bianca, Tova and Rasmus, Agnes and Greg (Polish) Tanya, Sondre and the organizer and speaker beloved Marcus Koch and Barbi Kofer. Please keep going, I'm sure the dancers love you both.
When I was fifteen/sixteen, I used to go to the Rockin' Ball House in Utrecht, the Netherlands. I've danced untill my feet bled. I still got the petticoats and some dresses, all original from the fifties. Love this footage! Takes me back in time.
Swing is so much fun!!! Glad this has not died like some genres have. This is the way it should be! Btw..love the Netherlands! I must return and visit Utrecht, I have ancestry from that city. I've heard it's an amazing city! tot we elkaar weer ontmoeten!
So great to see the young kids dancing to the old swing! my husband and I met swing dancing although not quite as energetic LOL. trust me, this will get you in the best shape of your life no matter what your age!
Yes, to VM. My Mother loved to “Swing”. I had no idea she knew how. She wanted me to teach her “ Shag”. When starting, I realized she already knew how to dance. I said, “some other man taught you, because Daddy doesn’t have the dancing gene!!” She laughed, with a twinkle in her eye. She learned to dance just before WW11 !!! Thank you for indulging me this story of my wonderful Mother, may she RIP. The dancers were wonderful😍!!! Music & dancing are international & so much fun!!! Thank you. 🇺🇸
I could watch this for hours! I notice, these couples are no longer teenagers. And there must be something special about this dance floor. All the dance couples seem to float. AND these pretty Ladies dancing in high heels? Just absolutely pure talent
Not dancing now, guess you should have celebrated your freedom by PROTECTING IT rather than GIVING UP YOUR GUNS, NOW LOOK AT YOU AUSSIE'S!!! So sad.... honestly I cry how badly my australian friends are being persecuted.
I find myself watching this video a second time, paying closer attention to the looks exchanged by dancers as they transition. I don't know why, but it makes me happy.
You go, Bongwater. Be my chauffeur & take me to the kasbah, where we will dance a zillion dances to the Delta Blues. P.S. I needn't be returned by midnight.
This came up on my recommendations on UA-cam and it was quite mesmerizing! The dancing, the chemistry between partners AND even the clothes were amazing!! BRAVO 🥰👍
She looks like Ksenia Parkhatskaya. She's one of the most wonderful swing jazz dancer. Her UA-cam channel is here: ua-cam.com/channels/Sc3rQ_D9kyYXJ-czV3Tdsg.html
How do I wish for a renaissance of that time in history especially during this ever-changing times. Something beautiful to resurface and fill the world with happiness. Like and every day thing, the fashion, the music, the voices...having lots of fun in a classy way. I love it
Everyone was great (they seemed as though they were having a really fun time) and I really enjoy watching we humans when we get over ourselves and just have genuine fun. The wonderful, really wonderful beautiful woman coming in around 7:16 was just beyond words...beautiful to look at, phenomenal dancer, and just an all around explosion to watch (in a really-really good way)...just WOW!....This beautiful woman was the stuff (you all know the actual saying) the bee's knees', the icing on the cake, take your pick she was just wonderful and yes I really enjoyed everyone. Great job done here by all.
It's a Flapper from the twenties.. Hey.. is she on one of those Russkie Online dating sites ? O m Gd..that sounds so Lame ! The devil or Boris P made me write it.. cheers and Haben Funnen. TEF
Wow your right i Danced at Arthur Murray's Studio i love it then and still do im 86 and still dance with my Broom lol..well when the old man is in the house we dance so much fun keep it going enjoy it young kids the BEST THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME IS MUSIC, SINGING, DANCING KEEPS YOU HAPPY AND YOUNG IN HEART AND A BEAUTIFUL LIKE ME..LOVE ALL..HAVE FUN ENJIY WATCH MORE PUT IT OUT THERE FOR THESE YOUNG ONCE TO DANCE.OK ENJOY MORE VIDEOS..
I have recently been to Japan. There was a small event, just a dozen of local people where there, dancing in the middle of the city under the clear night sky. I have never seen such happy faces before. I ended up watching them the whole evening. Probably 2-3 hours. Since then I feel the urge to dance like this ;)
I love it, music, dancing, clothing, cars, vinyl....take me back in time pls...when u hear it, u want to dance, and enjoy ur life))) LET'S SWING THAT PLACE :) girl without partner just rocked that place))
I grew up with this style dancing. All the regional kids went to a dance hall on a lake every weekend, and danced like this until 2AM. My girlfriend and I won numerous contests at that place, until a young beautiful lady caught my eye, and I asked her to dance. Next thing you know, I had a new girlfriend who became my wife and the mother of our kids. We taught them how to dance like us, and they’re still dancing today. The energy here was real, developed because we had the physical strength to do this. Where did we get the energy and stamina? We walked everywhere, worked everyday, and didn’t have to have a car to get to school, or go to the store, or hamburger joint, we mowed lawns, shoveled walks, raked leaves, did laundry, scrubbed floors, dusted the house, swept the walks, washed dad’s car or truck. We were physically active. NO laptops! NO cars of our own until we earned the money to buy them through work. The phone was at the house. We took turns with our siblings calling girlfriends, Boyfriends called our sisters. Life was simple, fun and we exhibited it through our boundless dancing energy!!
All of these amazing dancers are award-winning dance professionals and dance teachers. They have a lot of great videos on UA-cam. The full list of dancers with timecodes can be found in the comments.
Yeah, that's it, first class . . . digging in, digging in to the melody and the swing, "down and dirty" as some of us would say. Salute to all! And HUGE THANKS for keeping swing dancing and sensibility alive like you do! Great respect from a 72-year-old dancer in multiple styles, and musician, raised in a swing musician's family. You folks are the "knowledge keepers" who are embodying and preserving that tremendously valuable legacy. The spontaneity of the music and dance has the psychological healing effect of breaking through neurotic mind-body sets, quite unlike the kind of uptight, coiffed dancing where the dancers have to stiffly adopt the outward appearances of the dance -- such dancing actually locks in and perpetuates neuroses. Thank you for being such great dancers with such hip ears! Keep the energy going and keep the flag flying!
Years ago, when I first started ballroom, it was like an artist who had just been given paint. Thanks so much for this during this ghastly bug. I don't know whether to smile or cry.....
Can't believe that it's possible to dance like this. I'm 52. And I'm so jealous of these guys. I'd like to learn. I'd like to dance. I'm smiling and happy! Thank you very much!!! From Moscow with love!!!
Oh what a happiness to see you dancing!! Tonight, I've first (it's 22:39h here now, Brazil) watched some Elvis dancing, than I found out (no, I had never seen him before) that fantastique super modern dancer Bobby Banas (The Nitty Gritty), and then it came to you marvellous teachers with your great contagious pleasure of dancing.
unfortunately i can't dance, but i love this. It's so much fun to watch the dancers. The music, the costumes. You have the feeling to feel the love of the dancers. Great.
Everyone has grace and flow light on their feet love it reminds me of my mom when i was young she would just dance around the house thank you for the flash back memeories
MARAVILLOSO PERFECTO EXCELENTE Y MAGNÍFICO VIDEO. MUY PROFESIONALES TODOTERRENO DE BAILADORES. ESTÁN DE 1000% Y HASTA MAS. SALUDOS DESDE MÉXICO María Luisa González Uvalle. MUCHAS FELICIDADES
Невозможно....не улыбаться, видя, как люди танцуют свинг, особенно с такой профессиональной грацией и кажущейся лёгкостью в исполнении воистину искусства движений человеческого тела. Сплошное восхищение и желание заняться подобными танцами. Браво! :)
it makes me think of my parents’ dancing in the 40’s and never saw them dance! the feelings this evokes are so intense. it’s so happy, and yeah, it MAKES me smile. it also makes me envious and wistful. i want to dance. i hope i can still learn a little, or enough to feel the “beat”.
SHO NUFF IT'S TUFF !! EXCELLENT !! It's an honor to watch people who have a love of the old times. Thanks for the wonderful performances. Hand Salute From a Vet !
großartig gefilmt, geniale Musikauswahl, mitreißende Tanzeinlagen.... Dank an alle Akteure, Merci an Bärbl und Marcus für diese großartigen Tage (auch im "Deutschen Theater")
They all made that look completely effortless! This is just what I needed during this challenging season! I just found this channel tonight and I’m addicted! Thank you!
Isn't it great how dancing can make you so happy. Dancing makes happy endorphins. Loved every minute of this video. Thank you for capturing & sharing. 😊
A lot of my enjoyment of this style comes from all the physics that are played with. I'd say only breakdancing does that to a similar degree. But of course I also just love this unbridled joy of movement, the goofy elements, the energy, the flirting.
@@timeforthinkers7418 you can learn so much about a person by dancing together. I am 85 and still love the swing , or any other dance. Age is just a number.
In the 50's it was partner dancing... jive danced to rock and roll. Then the twist and mashed potatoes etc. became popular and that finished off partner dancing, until the retro swing revival in the late 1990's and now we're back to the 1940"s!
It is impossible to watch this and sit still. I am 73, overweight and due to arthritis can barely walk. But I got up off the sofa and started jigging around. I was dancing! It was wonderful. Thank you! So happy!
Yo' smiles know no weight, time, effort, energy, galaxy, universe, nothing. If you got the boogey, you got it, those smiles are eternal and forever.
Dancing is so motivating, personally it gives me pure joy ! I hope you can find some place to dance and be happy !! 😊
You got this daddio. Done more dancing ?
My dad dance like this! He pushed all the furniture aside on Saturday nights and taught us all the old school dances in our family room. He kept say “kids, these dances are going to come back”....thanks y’all for keeping them alive...and my father’s spirit too!

SAME! My mom and dad (born 1928 and 1929) would dance like this on sat night - we would watch from the stairs!
After watching this through, I was so impressed by the skill a grace seen here. And, I was convinced I could do what they did, with just minimal practice. So, using this music, I gave it a shot. After only a couple of attempts, I nailed it ! I was able to sit in the floor, legs crossed and watch the dancers, just like they did ! A camera malfunction prevented proof of my success, but the satisfaction is there. Great video ! I exhausted now, but loved it !

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
Everyone looked like they were having so much fun, I couldn't keep the smile off my face :)
In other dancing styles the contestants are serious and sometimes dramatic, this is the only style where you get soaked in positive energy just by looking at it. It's funny, fast, cartoonish, but still elegant. It's so intriguing.
Well it's worth noting that this wasn't a competition
Most dance styles have a main emotional theme. Like the Tango is melancholic, the Rumba is seduction, Samba is vitality etc. and Lindy is playfulness.
Wouldn't downplay the other dances, but you do best the dance in the emotion you like to soak in..

Wonderful to watch consistently high performances by BOTH ladies and gentlemen. Didn't witness any partner being outdanced.

Great job done here by all.
That was Ksenia Parkhatskaya and she is indeed an amazing dancer - quite alot of her dance clips on YT. Lots of great pairs on this clip, Great fun!

I have recently been to Japan. There was a small event, just a dozen of local people where there, dancing in the middle of the city under the clear night sky.
I have never seen such happy faces before. I ended up watching them the whole evening. Probably 2-3 hours. Since then I feel the urge to dance like this ;)
That lady who came out by herself WOW! 😍
Oh boy I wish I was young again. Just fabulous all the way through. It’s mesmerising. Love the sense of fun!
They're all so good and light on their feet. I love watching swing dancing.
Смотрю...и лювлю себя на том, что улыбка с моего лица не сходит)))
Ага, точно.
Потрясающе, да)
Все молодци,а Танюха краше всех!

Best dancing I've ever seen. Loved everyone of them. Could watch nonstop
This is why they say Rock n' Roll will never die!! Keep it alive for us oldies...we love u !!! ❤
I grew up with this style dancing. All the regional kids went to a dance hall on a lake every weekend, and danced like this until 2AM. My girlfriend and I won numerous contests at that place, until a young beautiful lady caught my eye, and I asked her to dance. Next thing you know, I had a new girlfriend who became my wife and the mother of our kids. We taught them how to dance like us, and they’re still dancing today. The energy here was real, developed because we had the physical strength to do this. Where did we get the energy and stamina? We walked everywhere, worked everyday, and didn’t have to have a car to get to school, or go to the store, or hamburger joint, we mowed lawns, shoveled walks, raked leaves, did laundry, scrubbed floors, dusted the house, swept the walks, washed dad’s car or truck. We were physically active. NO laptops! NO cars of our own until we earned the money to buy them through work. The phone was at the house. We took turns with our siblings calling girlfriends, Boyfriends called our sisters. Life was simple, fun and we exhibited it through our boundless dancing energy!!
Absolutely mesmerizing, all of them are very talented! It made me so happy, like I was there, dancing, too. Great work!
All of these amazing dancers are award-winning dance professionals and dance teachers. They have a lot of great videos on UA-cam. The full list of dancers with timecodes can be found in the comments.
Не могу остановиться смотреть! Это великолепно!
Yeah, that's it, first class . . . digging in, digging in to the melody and the swing, "down and dirty" as some of us would say. Salute to all! And HUGE THANKS for keeping swing dancing and sensibility alive like you do! Great respect from a 72-year-old dancer in multiple styles, and musician, raised in a swing musician's family. You folks are the "knowledge keepers" who are embodying and preserving that tremendously valuable legacy. The spontaneity of the music and dance has the psychological healing effect of breaking through neurotic mind-body sets, quite unlike the kind of uptight, coiffed dancing where the dancers have to stiffly adopt the outward appearances of the dance -- such dancing actually locks in and perpetuates neuroses. Thank you for being such great dancers with such hip ears! Keep the energy going and keep the flag flying!

Years ago, when I first started ballroom, it was like an artist who had just been given paint. Thanks so much for this during this ghastly bug. I don't know whether to smile or cry.....
Боже,какие профессионалы,они скользят по паркету,уникальное мастерство, браво !!!!
Krescivia, Spassiba, doviriai no proviria!!! Dasvidania!! :)
Diese wunderschönen Tänze rühren einem die Tränen in die Augen.
Can't believe that it's possible to dance like this. I'm 52. And I'm so jealous of these guys. I'd like to learn. I'd like to dance. I'm smiling and happy! Thank you very much!!! From Moscow with love!!!
Oh what a happiness to see you dancing!! Tonight, I've first (it's 22:39h here now, Brazil) watched some Elvis dancing, than I found out (no, I had never seen him before) that fantastique super modern dancer Bobby Banas (The Nitty Gritty), and then it came to you marvellous teachers with your great contagious pleasure of dancing.
unfortunately i can't dance, but i love this. It's so much fun to watch the dancers. The music, the costumes. You have the feeling to feel the love of the dancers. Great.
The greatest show ever. I hope you all have a show with dancing with stars on tv soon. Love you all
LOVE how the swing broke into the Boogie Woogie!
Is it possible to hurt your face from constantly smiling in 15+ minutes?
Oh, heck, don't answer. Couldn't stop watching if I tried...
oh yesss
I'm so addicted.... Don't even want a cure!
So true
Add tears of joy ....
@@motorcollection6635 If I'm honest, yes...
That's what u call dancing! That era was the best. 🇦🇺
Everyone has grace and flow light on their feet love it reminds me of my mom when i was young she would just dance around the house thank you for the flash back memeories
Just came across this! Made me smile the entire time. watched with my kids and reminisced how I used to go out every week swing dancing in my 20's!
Man-oh-man that was fun to watch. Great camera work, too.

Whew! That wore me out just watching. Absolutely incredible and so much fun to watch.
This made me soo happy!! Nice surprise seeing my teachers, I didn't realize how glamorous their lives are! Incredibly motivating!
Невозможно....не улыбаться, видя, как люди танцуют свинг, особенно с такой профессиональной грацией и кажущейся лёгкостью в исполнении воистину искусства движений человеческого тела. Сплошное восхищение и желание заняться подобными танцами.
Браво! :)
Now this....THIS IS DANCING!
it makes me think of my parents’ dancing in the 40’s and never saw them dance! the feelings this evokes are so intense. it’s so happy, and yeah, it MAKES me smile. it also makes me envious and wistful. i want to dance. i hope i can still learn a little, or enough to feel the “beat”.

Love the music, dancers are great and having such fun!
SHO NUFF IT'S TUFF !! EXCELLENT !! It's an honor to watch people who have a love of the old times. Thanks for the wonderful performances. Hand Salute From a Vet !
Watching this made me the happiest I’ve felt in a long time... thank you.
großartig gefilmt, geniale Musikauswahl, mitreißende Tanzeinlagen.... Dank an alle Akteure, Merci an Bärbl und Marcus für diese großartigen Tage (auch im "Deutschen Theater")
JUST great to see all styles!🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾☘☘
Это великолепно восторгаюсь завидую...супер,супер!!!
They all made that look completely effortless!
This is just what I needed during this challenging season! I just found this channel tonight and I’m addicted! Thank you!
OK. My bad mood is gone.
Isn't it great how dancing can make you so happy. Dancing makes happy endorphins. Loved every minute of this video. Thank you for capturing & sharing. 😊
2:10 - 3:24 was amazing! The swagger!
Lots of blues mixed in with the lindy.
I so love to watch this
Loved doing it years ago
I smiled the whole way through that. Love everything about it. Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
I’m so old .that I remember Marcus and Bärbl doing those moves 20 years ago at Memories. Haha
REAL dancing. Bless. 💕
A lot of my enjoyment of this style comes from all the physics that are played with. I'd say only breakdancing does that to a similar degree. But of course I also just love this unbridled joy of movement, the goofy elements, the energy, the flirting.
The generation of this music really enjoyed themselves with smiles & laughter on their faces.

(Find a partner: 😐)
lol
My Nana dances with invisible partners like Aurora in Sleeping Beauty. I dance with the cat.
I've made 4 loaves so far (2 last night), and now I'm onto swing videos by random chance, I guess I'm on the right track.
Ich fang gerade an ... tanzen ist geil .... ich bin 40 und möchte Nicht verkuppelt werden .... Tanzen ist geil
@@denisklosener622 oh boy!
I’m at loss of words how amazing and touching it is!!!! Bravo!
I watch all these videos!! Love em!
This brought a wide smile to my face! Great people and their skills!! ♡
Ahhhhhh! Breath of fresh air!!! Just what we needed
Dynamite D... And a BIG AMEN TO that!!!!!!
@@timeforthinkers7418 you can learn so much about a person by dancing together. I am 85 and still love the swing , or any other dance. Age is just a number.
Now this is great music and dancing. Reminds me of the fifties when everyone had their own style of dancing and all had a wonderful time.
In the 50's it was partner dancing... jive danced to rock and roll. Then the twist and mashed potatoes etc. became popular and that finished off partner dancing, until the retro swing revival in the late 1990's and now we're back to the 1940"s!
its so nice to see people who still appreciate this stuff :)
This is awesome! Wish there was a group in my city! I’d join in a heartbeat! This looks so fun!🤩🤩🤩
FANTASTIC. reminds me of when I used to go to Barnet Jazz Club, North London with my 2 sisters.
This is my kind of dancing.
This is the best exercise ever.
15 minutes of joy! Thank you!
Sitting here all by myself watching this n was so into it I didn't even realize I had started clapping when it was over lol. Amazing!
