    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.

    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.

      +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.

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!

      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 TH-cam. Fabulous!

She is now 93 years young and there is a TH-cam 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!

    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.

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!

      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!

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.

    The absolute best music and dancing ever! Look how happy they are and the ladies look fabulous in their skirts! My generation missed out on this and it's a crying shame....

    I was raised on swing & big band. I Love dancing to it. TIMELESS
    our neighborhood was so multi cultural, every house had folks from all over. we all had so much fun. dinner time was the BEST 4 us kids, as long as a kid was in a chair, didn't matter who he or she was. I Am So Blessed.
    we all are! look 4 blessings, & that's what u find
