Met my wife swing dancing 20 years ago. Danced all the time, out 3x a week at our peak. 15 years later, she was diagnosed with dementia, and we still danced. Arranged for a group of swing dancers to perform for her and some of the other residents at the facility where I had to place her after six years of caring for her. I managed to get in one last swing dance with my girl in April 2019. She passed away last month in June. On her headstone is the line from City of God, " Let us turn our tears into dancing.".
In case anyone wants to know what this scene is from: Actors: -(Female) Ginger Rogers -(Male) Fred Astaire - (Sitting Male) Eric Blore Movie: -Swing Time (1936) I't a lovely movie. One of my favorites. Edit 7/15/2020: Wow. I thought this comment had gotten lost and never to be seen again. Hah! A few updates: - I've updated the movie year. (Thank you for the correction.) - The original song samples are by Lil Hardin Armstrong and the song is called "Oriental Swing".
Not usually big on crying, but watching this this morning had me tears running down my face. I think it's just been a while for me seeing people dance and be happy.
My husbands convinced because it will just because we’re getting ready to enter the 20’s again. Haha Better believe we’re playing a ton of this at the 2020 NYE Party!!!!
It's actually gonna be hard, cardi b and a lot of other celebrities can't just stop what they're doing because a majority of fans love what they do and many fans prefer what they're making right now
But on second thought, they could ask their fans if they want classic (but not all modern artists could do that because they would still need to learn how to make that sort of music)
Gardening Hoe Either that or we could just see a rise of separate Electro Swing/Jazz artists enter the limelight more in the 2020s (like Jamie Berry and Parov Stelar)
Yeah, but I'm sure alot of girls don't want to wear those dresses and alot of guys don't want to wear those suits either .. It's only the aesthetic you enjoy. Like how people want a pet dog but only because it's cute and they don't really want to care for it.
@@thebadger8644 i love the style of dress and suits. I also like 1940s zoot suits and wrote a design essay for it. As for the dog analogy, i get what you mean but thats not everyone.
0:25 anyone else enjoying how PERFECTLY on beat his hand clap was? I mean, the entire video is amazingly edited and very on beat, but THIS ONE HAND CLAP sends me-
Electronic remixing, which makes this song, did not exist in any reasonable extent until some 30 years ago, and the genre "Electro-Swing" is less than a decade old.
Was introduced to chill trap music just a few days ago by my sister, stumbled upon Caravan Palace and been falling deeper into the electro-swing world. I feel so blessed to be able to find the genre. God bless these electro-swing musicians.
+Briana Mia - "miss the days when people actually used to dance!!!! this looks like so much fun!!!" Yes! I miss the days when we saw so many movies with accomplished dance routines such as this one. I mean, this requires an *astoundingly* high level of skill and talent plus hours and hours of practice. Some of these famous dance routines were filmed as single takes - from start to finish, no stopping. "Now do it again." Other directors used multiple cameras and multiple takes and the dance routine tooks days - even weeks - to film, before they were edited into a seamless 5 minute or so sequence. The stamina required boggles the mind!
+artsbeatla I think she really meant that this style of dancing and other styles such as ballroom dancing etc. have gone out of fashion with young people and she wishes they were still so popular because it looks like a serious amount of fun
When I get married I want my husband and I to do this type of dance for our first dance. None of that typical sway back and forth stuff. We're gonna be fun.
Hahaha yes! I listened to it yesterday for the first time since my drum teacher told me about this genre. After that I only had this music in my brain. Couldn’t forget that rhythmic 😂

We gotta get Electro swing mainstream this decade. Happy Twenties everyone Edit: (December 30,2020) I am sorry everyone. What a terrible year it has been for the world. Hope you are all safe wherever you are 🙏
I grew up on great movie musicals. I still love the great musicals from the 30s through the 70s. In my opinion, the greatest eras for movie musicals were between the 1930s to 1950s. Such a great escape to simply sit back, relax, and imagine myself dancing with some of the greatest dancers that ever lived.
The most impressive is that it "looks" like he's leading the whole dance, but great God Ginger Rogers is doing a crazy ass job dancing on heels with that ease and lightness, looking like she's just getting led while she's mastering the whole thing.
She is lead, it doesnt just looks like it. She definately mastered the part, but most of her balance comes in acompany with fred's balance. The way you say that sounds as if being lead makes one somehow inferior.
She trained excessively and took a lot of pain to look so professional. She said once in an interview after a scene in one of her astaire/rogers films the back of her heels were drenched in her blood where she had done so many takes.
It's not really that hard. As a follow, you are almost always on your toes, so as long as the heel fits well enough that your heel doesn't slip, and as long as the heel isn't too tall, it's fine. I often find it a bit easier to dance in heels, because they force my weight forward and keep me on my toes. For modern dancers, there are clear elastic straps that you put around your shoe and foot to help keep shoes on. I also use them when I'm riding my scooter with shoes that have a tendency to slip off!
7 years ago me and my wife did "first dance" (it is a tradition in Poland to take a first dance for newly wed ppl) to this song. One of the best tunes I have ever heard in my life. We dance to it whenever one of us plays it - it's beautiful, and I hope every one of you will find your second half to dance with, just as I did
This is by far one of my most favorite song to listen to, I listen to this song everyday even in school. As a gentleman with high class and someone who is in love with the 1800s and 1900s I'm addicted to this bad boy of a century!
"his equal"?? fuck no! Ginger Rogers is WAY better than Fred Astaire! She is doing these dances in Heels! With weighted dresses (there are small weights sewn in those skirts so they fly like they do in the video)! She danced her feet bloody in those shoes!

Malin Hensel Yeah it's super racist. Unfortunate reality of the times :/ But I think this song serves as a good message of what electro swing is. A romanticization of the times without actually understanding what the 1920s actually was like. It's like adapting the 1920s for our modern world to evoke a similar feeling while trying to pretend that all the shitty aspects didn't exist.
Fun fact, Alastor from Hazbin Hotel died around 1933, which means that there is a good chance that this exact style of music is what played on his radio show.
First, know I love you very much right now and you have very good tastes. Second, if you want be my personal hero, can you tell me what the name of the dance is? I learn 20 min ago than it's not fox trot.
Diego Manjarrez No , Actually Trev B is 100% correct, what this guy has is the perfect definition of swag, the that shit the retarded youth mistake for swag these days is everything but swag
Nice dance sequence to the song. They make it look so effortless but that's hard work. Ha, the gentleman at the beginning who is asked to "have a seat while I show you how it's done" is British actor Eric Blore. He was in 5 of the 9 Fred/Ginger movies : Flying Down to Rio, The Gay Divorcee, Top Hat, Swing Time and Shall We Dance. I can't recall which one this is. He looks different here, doesn't usually have the moustache. Often plays a valet or gentleman's gentleman, waiter etc... Funny guy.....Thanks for making the vid.
I love it how her dresses spin! When I was a kid and my mum was about to make (or buy) me a dress or a skirt, I always said: But it has to spin! I'm 32 now and it is still important. And makes me ridiculously happy when my skirt or dress spins.
yOU HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS SONG. YOU JUST DONT KNOW. HOW HARD I HAVE BEEN LOOKING. THERE WAS A TALENT SHOW AT MY SCHOOL ON JUNE 13TH AND SOME GIRL WAS TWIRLING A BATON TO THIS FUCKING SONG. EVER SINCE I HAVE WANTED TO FIND IT BECAUSE OH MY GOD IT IS SO CATCHY. IM SO HAPPY. IM SO FUCKING HAPPY. ( and so fucking sorry you had to read through that )
OK. This dance is too perfect. What perfection encounter in these dancers, in that woman with such elegance dancing so much speed. That perfection encounter in the synchronization of both. In those times the dance touched perfect levels.
In one film she wore a dress that had glass beads on fringes. When she spun around with her arms out the beaded fringes became like cat 'o nine tails and whipped Astair in his hand and sliced the skin open. He kept dancing though and finished the take. These ppl suffered for their art.

When people act like the choreographed, professional dancing of the past is comparable to the amateur dancing people do at parties etc nowadays. Dancing as an art is still as beautiful now as it once was. The dancing people did at parties and casual events is still as shitty as it once was.

Wow. I thought this comment had gotten lost and never to be seen again. Hah!
A few updates:
- I've updated the movie year. (Thank you for the correction.)
- The original song samples are by Lil Hardin Armstrong and the song is called "Oriental Swing".
THANK YOU!

1936 not 1939
totaly agree. Defintely recomend you to watch it.

Thank you! I knew who it featured, but not which movie it is.

Thanks!
It is soo impressive how they make dancing look so naturally, easy and fun.

They rehearsed endlessly. Ginger Rogers would rehearse until her feet bled. A lot of hard work and discipline went into these fun dance sequences.

What an amazing thought ... pls make it happen ;D
Unlikely but that'd be amazing
I wish, but if it were the case then does that mean that the 1910s started twerking and it caught on again 100 years later?
nothing from the video its from 20s. its 40s actually
I love how certain people don't just dance... They fly, levitate and glide above the floor!

Ballroom dances are designed to be done in dress shoes. You'd actually have difficulty trying to do them in flats.
You're on your toes most of the time anyway.

“After all, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels.”
― Ann Richards
Both will be remembered as legends in their time for many generations to come.
And a dress.
Except, you know, actually choreographing the steps.
Quite an amazing feat. And with such gracefulness.
@Blade Strikes sounds like someone's masculinity is a bit fragile :/
This is late 1930's, not the 1920s - and it's still amazingly cool.

Of the swing with Oriental glory,
They stroke their beards and grin,
Sayin', "Swing, little children, till the dawn comes in!"

Also see Fred dance with Rita Hayworth, he keeps glancing at her feet to follow her lead....
HOW can she dance with heels?!
Edit:I just want to say her first dress looks nice.
Well that fast
Mine Turtle it takes a lot of training
She trained excessively and took a lot of pain to look so professional. She said once in an interview after a scene in one of her astaire/rogers films the back of her heels were drenched in her blood where she had done so many takes.

It's not really that hard. As a follow, you are almost always on your toes, so as long as the heel fits well enough that your heel doesn't slip, and as long as the heel isn't too tall, it's fine. I often find it a bit easier to dance in heels, because they force my weight forward and keep me on my toes.

electro swing and classical music is my favorite
Zoe Enos IKR right

Thank you Exploding Kittens

Jajajajaja I
Lol i really enjoy this genre of music, is really good.
Its called electro swing
YceDUBSTEP Ya, very different from dubstep
TheJerbol electro swing + dubstep = Gramatik :p
YceDUBSTEP Yeah, me too, I just got into this yesterday. Funky, right?
***** If would've read the comment correctly, you'd see that he was saying that Gramatik uses electro swing and dubstep.
Step 1: Find a girl who will do any of those dances with you
Step 2: Marry her
Here I am :)
Linda P. Hello
Teach me?
right here G
I reckon it's harder to find a MAN out there wanting to dance at all....
I'm so impressed she can dance so well in those shoes 😄👏✨
She did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels ;-)
Like she's flying over the floor!
I can dance in them too.
I heard her dress was also weighted so it would spin like that
@@galatea4022 No, it's already extremely complicated to just WALK with them so dancing in heels is impressive
This is by far one of my most favorite song to listen to, I listen to this song everyday even in school. As a gentleman with high class and someone who is in love with the 1800s and 1900s I'm addicted to this bad boy of a century!
Yep. Beat your woman!
Now that is what I call feminine. Graceful, classy, whimsical and every bit his equal. Just fabulous to watch and admire.
Class comment. Thanks mate. I enjoyed reading this.
love this comment
the girl is not bad either
Her name is Ginger Rogers and she was one of the greatest actresses of the 30s
"his equal"?? fuck no! Ginger Rogers is WAY better than Fred Astaire! She is doing these dances in Heels! With weighted dresses (there are small weights sewn in those skirts so they fly like they do in the video)! She danced her feet bloody in those shoes!
Omg I think I’m in love with electro swing
Look up Caravan Palace. They do electroswing and look up electroswing remixes of Disney songs. Some are very good
You don't think
You K N O W
I was about to comment look at caravan palace but someone already did that lol but search up peggy suave
Dassa mood
Youre not the only :D
the lady can dance with heels on
*she must be feared*
+Fat Mom Is best Mom dancing on heels is actually easy when you're swinging, since you dance on the ball of your foot about 90% of the time.
NLKippie holy fuck someone actually replied
+Fat Mom Is best Mom you're welcome?
lol
Or a strong lesbian
this is me when my kitten explodes
This is some real dancing!
What do you mean? I thought dancing was having sex with your clothes on??
Chris Legaspi what lol
Jeroen van den Raadt That's what society would have you think.
she's in heels too what the hell
She would sometimes dance in shoes wet with shoe dye. Fred was a real task master too, so they had to dance until it was perfect.
Lyrics:
Now, Arab sheiks on the burning sands
Come into their harems and clap their hands
Said, "Come on, girls, are you ready to play?
Let's have a little more of that swingin' today"
Now, in the land of Fu Manchu
The girls all now do the Suzie-Q
Clap their hands in the center of the floor
Saying, "Ching, ching, chop-suey, swing some more!"
Now, geisha girls in old Japan
Wink behind their peacock fans
Since they learned to say, "Yeah!
Let's swing it like Amelican's swing swing dance!"
Now, Gypsy caravans have changed their mode
They truck down the Romany road
With their hi-de-hos, and their hey-hey-diddle
Doin' the swing on the Gypsy fiddle
Them eastern wisemen know the story
Of the swing with Oriental glory
They stroke their beards and grin
Sayin', "Swing, little children, till the dawn comes in!"
Now, geisha girls in old Japan
Wink behind their peacock fans
Since they learned to say, "Yeah!
Let's swing it like Amelican's swing swing dance!"
Now, Gypsy caravans have changed their mode
They truck down the Romany road
With their hi-de-hos, and their hey-hey-diddle

Wow that's actually kind of racist oof
Malin Hensel Yeah it's super racist. Unfortunate reality of the times :/ But I think this song serves as a good message of what electro swing is. A romanticization of the times without actually understanding what the 1920s actually was like. It's like adapting the 1920s for our modern world to evoke a similar feeling while trying to pretend that all the shitty aspects didn't exist.
CommunistSquidward 420 there are actual words i lterally only heard music
Oof
Electroswing is pretty awesome.
EXPLODING KITTENS!!! The intro song for the demon cat (can’t spell name ;-;) was so cool :D
What just happened! I've never heard this kind of music before!
I should be asleep by now, instead I'm dancing to this.
I AM HOOKED!!!! BIG TIME!!!!!
If you like EDM and love this track, then you might love the track below ;)

This genre is called electric or electronic swing!
Try "Caravan Palace": Dramaphone or Dragon, good songs. ;)
I'm in the ssame boat...I cannot stop listening.
Ivan Arce Or Star Scat, and The Dirty Side of The Street. Both excellent
So much better than the weird dubstep intros from other people.
I don't see the link...
In case anyone wants to know, the lyrics and some music is from the song “Oriental Swing” by Lil’ Hardin Armstrong, a past wife of Louis Armstrong
Fun fact, Alastor from Hazbin Hotel died around 1933, which means that there is a good chance that this exact style of music is what played on his radio show.
First, know I love you very much right now and you have very good tastes.
Second, if you want be my personal hero, can you tell me what the name of the dance is? I learn 20 min ago than it's not fox trot.
Man, that pimp walk at 0:40...
I agree. This guys got swag!
Trev B No, this man got class ( with a dash of swag, yes)
Lol if u say so
Diego Manjarrez No , Actually Trev B is 100% correct, what this guy has is the perfect definition of swag, the that shit the retarded youth mistake for swag these days is everything but swag
Man just deal with it
Nice dance sequence to the song. They make it look so effortless but that's hard work. Ha, the gentleman at the beginning who is asked to "have a seat while I show you how it's done" is British actor Eric Blore. He was in 5 of the 9 Fred/Ginger movies : Flying Down to Rio, The Gay Divorcee, Top Hat, Swing Time and Shall We Dance. I can't recall which one this is. He looks different here, doesn't usually have the moustache. Often plays a valet or gentleman's gentleman, waiter etc... Funny guy.....Thanks for making the vid.
that's Blore???
Yep, that's him. The little moustache is a good disguse, but that impish smirk is classic Blore :)
This scene is from "Swing Time" (1936).
Ooh thanks Paul
pauljc45 yep
This is probably one of my most favorite electro swing songs so far.
Вечером с женой у нас обязательный танец. Молодцы.
This has gotta be the most stylish dance i have ever seen.
If ever there was something to be called "lit". Its this dance right here.
Right?? I am so fucking sad this ain't popular anymore, it is so goddamn classy and looks like so much fun!
God with a capital G It’s from the movie Swing Time if you want to check it out.
It's 2019.
Let's make this the genre of the 2020's.
After all, the '20's is returning.
I'm down with this
That would be so epic
Hello there, it's 2020
It wasn't when I made the comment Ein.
Even the disease outbreak part returned...
I’m a dude but that black dress looks so soft and flowy and I wanna dance in it.
honestly mood
Why not!
Ayooo pause
do it king you have nothing to fear
Same
I love it how her dresses spin! When I was a kid and my mum was about to make (or buy) me a dress or a skirt, I always said: But it has to spin! I'm 32 now and it is still important. And makes me ridiculously happy when my skirt or dress spins.

Thank you I was looking for this.
They were fabulous together.
Thanks it was plaguing me since I first saw this lol
yOU HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS SONG. YOU JUST DONT KNOW. HOW HARD I HAVE BEEN LOOKING.
THERE WAS A TALENT SHOW AT MY SCHOOL ON JUNE 13TH AND SOME GIRL WAS TWIRLING A BATON TO THIS FUCKING SONG. EVER SINCE I HAVE WANTED TO FIND IT BECAUSE OH MY GOD IT IS SO CATCHY. IM SO HAPPY. IM SO FUCKING HAPPY.
( and so fucking sorry you had to read through that )
okay interesting story I'm impressed...
OnlyAgainst | AWESOME Montages! Ahah sorry. I got too excited hearing a song that Ive been looking for in which seemed forever.
yeah itz ok :D :)
I hate when u cant find a song so i know how u feel haha
Especially when in the first place you couldnt understand the lyrics, so you couldnt really do any google-ing that would help!
OK. This dance is too perfect. What perfection encounter in these dancers, in that woman with such elegance dancing so much speed. That perfection encounter in the synchronization of both. In those times the dance touched perfect levels.
In her biography, Ginger Rogers said filming these dance scenes, for hours and hours, would kill her feet!
I Wonder why :P
In one film she wore a dress that had glass beads on fringes. When she spun around with her arms out the beaded fringes became like cat 'o nine tails and whipped Astair in his hand and sliced the skin open. He kept dancing though and finished the take. These ppl suffered for their art.
@@skylx0812 Bless these people.
5 years ago hospitalized, without knowing that I suffered and lost the movement of my body, I listened again and again to this song ...
I'm sorry, dude. That must be difficult to go through. God bless!
Keep doing what ya love bro
That electro swing makes the lame swing! Gg brother! Keep jammin yeah!?!?
Keep jamming you're amazing I love you!
Geez man, I’m really sorry about that. God Bless your soul.
i love that first dress. it's so cute and simple, i'd love one of those

When you wish you could dance like people from the 1900's
the true Ness of that comment
Loch Ness even.
i know new dancing is just crap
When people act like the choreographed, professional dancing of the past is comparable to the amateur dancing people do at parties etc nowadays. Dancing as an art is still as beautiful now as it once was. The dancing people did at parties and casual events is still as shitty as it once was.
Ikr ;c
I don't mind buffering.
I don't mind ads.
But when my ads buffer, I suffer.
Nice poem, have a cookie.
Im NOT here for... "Exploding Kittens", im here because i love this music.
Wish I could find a guy who’d dance with me like that
Yeah same but only if I could dance like that 😅 i would fall on my Face🙂🤣
I'm here
It also helps if you aren't so damn short
yeah like gentlemen who is also stuck on 1920s like me cause i cant get over
@@abigailstephenson7485 well im sorry, I can't control my height
He's damn good, but she's in HEELS!
IKR! exactly my thought.
The but there annoys me, they’re both extraordinary dancers. I see people dancing in higher heels than that even.
And Fred is wearing co-respondents shoes.
Or spats.

Yes I have been known to be a petty Panty but hey if I’m any type of underwear it’s a pain in someone’s ass.

The joke was a secondary realization, the first was simply that people saying Panty is an uncomfortable experience for everyone involved
"The world is a stage and the stage is a world of entertainment."- Alastor
"All the world's indeed a stage" - Rush
Didn't the world is a stage originally come from Shakespeare in Macbeth?
YES!! I LOVE U.
oh man you guessed exactly why I’m here
Ha! No
The nostalgia I got when I heard this in Exploding Kittens. So good to hear this song after 8 years!
Instructions unclear, head stuck in gramophone.
Please send help.
My art teacher played this for our class in 10th grade. I'm 23 now and still love and remember this song
Parov stelar lived next to me and I know him and his whole family but I never knew he was actually Parov stelar it’s crazy
I cannot give this enough likes. I just... the pure talent... its almost like craftsmanship in a way.
;) more than that :)
12 years later and this song still kicks ass!
nice refreshing electro swing always calms the mind
I say, this music made me drop my monicle!

anyone appreciate the girl who is DANCING ON HEELS
There's a famous quote about her, "Ginger Rogers did everything he did, ...backwards and in high heels."
IKR WTH
"The girl", my God, her name is Ginger Rogers!
gill426 not everyone knew that ... but thank you for saying
Quality women of the age
I loved this song in high school and ten years later it trends on TikTok but IM just happy it’s back :,)
I have to find a husband who will dance to this with me XD
...And a way to dance in high heels like this O_o
Us guys can't dance in heels why are you searching on youtube
Lol nach
Thomas Toledo i wanna be like fred astair!!! why is it bad? haha
Well you can do you hah
1:50 is my favorite part since both dancers literally JUMP over the fencing twice while still dancing.
For anyone interested, the original song was by Hardin Armstrong, and that video is a montage of clips from the movie 'swing time'
i saw this song appear in the last scene of the first episode of exploding kittens
