My favorite part about this dance style is that it has such an emphasis on fun. Only the most talented can successfully fake this kind of energy and happiness. It requires coordination and planning but you have to be in the mood for it to avoid making it look stiff.
I have a friend who does the Lindy Hop, he is a train guard on a private steam train and very quiet & reserved that is until he is on stage doing the Lindy Hop and the transformation is incredible! Can’t believe he is the same person. So much energy & the way he swings his partner (I’m thinking hey ho ! ) he wears the most fab set of clothes too. I say if you have got - get out there!
Whilst this is a VERY admirable statement, let's remember that only the people who got to go to the parties in the twenties were having the fun. It wasn't all that fun for those who were destitute and poor. But as I said , a very admirable want to have!
I went to try some lindy hop today with my dad. Although it was an introductory course, i was quite clearly the only one there who didn’t know the basic dance moves. Felt a bit out of place and i cant say i really got the hang of it from that one time, but im glad i did it. I’ve been allergic to dancing my entire (albeit, rather short) life and it was nice to get to dance with people you dont know with no strings attached, or history. The fact you change partner every few minutes also makes it way less awkward.
Believe it or not, it’s all about perspective. In the olden days this music and these sexy moves were considered rambunctious and sexual. The older generation would view it as one may view the classlessness of twerking in the year 2023.
Hey from the US. I'm so sad at the way my govnt is villifying your people, and I really pray that outside of the insane people running things, the rest of us can remember we have more in common than not. Wishing you all well and lots of dancing~
Came here to imagine how Sadie and George Amberson would have danced there Lindy Hop back in the days and I can say I got not disappointed.... Amazing dance...
This is bizarre. I just started listening to 11.22.63 about 3 days ago and I just got to the part where George met Bevvy (and the othe guy cant remember his name) and helped them practice the Lindy Hop, which was what made me look it up (I knew what it was, just wanted to watch it). 20 minutes later I scroll throught the comments of a random video from Russia and see this comment comment from 3 years ago haha
I mean I loooove watching these.. and there are so many talented dancers! But I secretly wish everyone in the room had the enthusiasm and endurance to be jiving along the whole time.
I started learning Lindy Hop in 2017 and I *highly* recommend it! It's so much fun, the people are amazing, and since you're having fun you won't even realize how much you're exercising!
My dad swing danced with my sister at her wedding, now whenever i see swing dancing i always remember that moment! Props to the people dancing look like so much and danced amazingly
This is so incredible and fun, I'm from Brasil and I didn't know exist a dance like this, should be so wonderful and happy, now I really want to know how to dance like this
Imagine a time when this was considered socializing and partying with friends. Now we're afraid to even say a simple hello through social media much less ask someone out on a date
There’s Lindy Hop dance lessons in. Y city i just became aware of, apparently it’s a growing scene in my city and the lesson are very affordable. So I’m going to the beginner social next month before registration opens. So I’ve been looking up videos to see what I’m getting myself into lol looks really fun!
The closest thing to this that I've done is swing dancing, country style. It's a great thing too but this is so very different, and it looks so energetic and fun. I want to try it so bad but I don't know anyone or anywhere I could do it with. Better start preparing my solo footwork!
These people represent the era these songs represent so well that I don't see a single black person every time I watch videos with this style of dance, it's a shame because I'm black and I love this type of dance
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that this was published in 2018. I would love to be able to dance like this!!!! Hate new music. I am a product of my father who raise my sisters and I on Oldies music. This makes me so proud that there are young people who also appreciate great music!!!!
Merry Red if you love jazz and are interested in the dance, you should join your local Lindy Hop scene! The culture is more than alive and kicking, there are workshops and classes all over the world!
These types of dances need to be popular again.
People need to have fun
They are popular that’s why there’s competitions. There’s swing clubs in pretty much every big city
My favorite part about this dance style is that it has such an emphasis on fun. Only the most talented can successfully fake this kind of energy and happiness. It requires coordination and planning but you have to be in the mood for it to avoid making it look stiff.
Girl there is no faking here! This dance IS fun!!!
I think this is very therapeutic to reach to good emotions😁
No fake, no no 😁 fun!
The best part about this dance is that it makes you instantly happy when you start dancing. So you dont have to fake it:)
Et encore une fois ce sont des noirs qui l'ont inventée. Incroyable non?
Girl in the green beret has so much joy in her it makes me cry.
A big smile like that is a wonderful thing.
Absolutely
absolutely she rocks that greeny girl.
Her calf muscles are too big. I can't handle that.
Right?! I’m smiling like an idiot trying to hold back my tears of joy😁

Private *stream* train? Damn didn't know that was a thing. This guy is living his vintage lifestyle dream
Damn, I'm being taken into the underworld of something I didn't know. Lindy Hopping. I love it!
Same I owe it to the movie the Mask
Watching this and smiling and yet at the same time realising how awfully serious life has become….it’s time to begin having fun again…

Swing dancing and Lindy Hop is the best fun ever. All ages can learn and there are great festivals all over the world. You will never regret learning.
I want to learn, but I live in the Midwest and the only 2 places within 2 hours of me closed with COVID
it is very much like Salsa Cubana. The same energy and the same pure joy!
Incredible. So fun and what life and dance should always be about. Thanks
Amen sir!

No matter how awkward you may feel.
Memories are all we're left with, especially with your Dad & new friends!
@@walter2990 Yup, putting things into perspective always helps in such situations.
*Memento mori*
I wish my high school prom has the taste like this.
It’s all in the music🎶 and dance💃 I can picture my grandparents in the 30s & 40s dancing like this
My cousin recently married throughout this theme , had a great old time ..

Same, dude…
my mom is making me take a class for this... this will be interesting
You are so lucky!
I wish!
Please return and report
How did it go?
I'm thinking about it, what's it like?
This is the best Era of US culture... cheers from Mexico.

You could tell she's really having a terrific time.

At last! Something that makes exercise look FUN!

Imagine a time when this was considered socializing and partying with friends. Now we're afraid to even say a simple hello through social media much less ask someone out on a date
We've still got clubs for this. Come find us after this pandemic. I'm a big fan of the Baltimore swing scene.
Well to be fair this was 2 years ago so clearly some of us are still doing these things
Hlo
See Germany/Austria - indoors/outdoors swing events/festivals/workshops, many with live orchestras 4-5 times a week all over the countries
These are modern people so idk what you are talking about
My favorit Dance!
Que maravilla!!
ALLÁ VOY LINDY HOP!!!!! 💃
I come back to this video every year or so and love being reminded of how much FUN the lindy hop is
It's hard to believe, my grandparents did this, by the time I met them, they were old people trying to get into heaven.
Wow! This is so hot and cool at the same time! Xx
Joli! Vous êtes jolis. Magnifiques

Amo. Esto es muy divertido!! Qué bien que se pasa con el swing!
Had no idea Moscovites enjoyed American jazz so much. Very cool
The closest thing to this that I've done is swing dancing, country style. It's a great thing too but this is so very different, and it looks so energetic and fun. I want to try it so bad but I don't know anyone or anywhere I could do it with. Better start preparing my solo footwork!
Fantastic!
Harlem culture still alive.
Потрясающе
Just perfect
this looks like so much fun!
best type of dance btw
Brrrrrrilliant!!!
Nostalgic.I miss my dance teacher whose patience was as much as my very poor practice...
Makes me happy 😃.
Esta increíble ❤️
