That depends on where you go when you go out. If you find the swing societies you'll be able to learn how to dance like that. And you'll find the places where other people go to dance swing. Of course, the people doing "grinding dancing" are easier to find.

Lol! Totally. Combine the G.I's access to nylon stockings, chocolate, cigarettes, THIS music and dancing and the accent making them sound like they'd walked out of a Hollywood movie, the local guys couldn't of stood much a chance

Cool video. FedUpBlackMan: The footage is mostly clips that have most likely been filmed at different times with one single music track edited over the top, so talk of 'lack of rhythm' from the dancers is based on a false assumption. Just sayin'.

So i was watching a star trek voyager episode where they were back in time in 1944. So spur of the moment, I typed in 1944 and saw this video when it came up. wild. I take it this is a goof on how to dance the dances of the day. Wonder how old these two are now, huh? Lets see..they look 21..21 in 1944..64 years later they would be 85. Lets do a followup video with these two now and see how much creakin and poppin we would hear
