I too grew up listening to this music. My parents would randomly start dancing & were taught as well. My dad was a Zoot Suiter. ❤ When I hear Big Band music it never fails to bring up memories of my parents dancing & the tears start. I was in marching, pep & stage band for 4 years in HS. I played the Tenor & Alto saxophone. Our HS stage band group put on a performance where we played a few of these songs, I got to play solo for the song "A String Of Pearls". Great memories hearing these songs. May my parents RIP & continue dancing in heaven. 🙏🏻🕊🌹

My parents were in their 20's during the War Years; dad in the Navy, mom in the Marines. They danced to this music. Every now and then when we were growing up, they'd Jitterbug.

We have the late Frankie Manning to thank for teaching this great swing style of the 1920s that still lives on. One can't help but feel the joyous energy of this dance. I had the privilege of knowing him and learning the Shim Sham Shimmy from him. That era will never be forgotten for its great music and the Lindy Hop.

Started in the 1920s, got very big in the '30s and '40s, continued jitterbugging in the '50s and early '60s... kind of died out until maybe the early '90s lively revival and continues till today.

What a joyful expression of the love of dancing. I thought of people in the airport who danced contemporaneously to this music. They had to have loved seeing this. That last tune was great jive music. Really gets your blood going.

Lark Mervine, thank a million for sharing. Glenn Miller was always my favorite. If I were at the Denver Airport and ready to depart, I would probably miss my flight due to the fantastic dancers.

When you swing dance, you can feel it in your soul. Sometimes you're moving so fast and fluidly, that it feels like your flying.

SO MUCH FUN! We grew up on this music and Dad (82) can still drum to this without dropping a stick. My kids got the biggest kick out of watching their grandparents do these dances in our kitchen a few years back! They could really 'cut the rug'!
