This was actually quite common during WW2. The top Brass normally didn't mind it because it built moral among the troups, stuff like playing music, singing, comedy,dancing whatever talent you had. In this case we have two cats who obviously know how to Lindy Hop to some degree, which during WW2, had just made the cover of Life magazine. So it is easy to imagine, (especially from the interviews i've done) that everyone here is enjoying to see how it's "really" done!
I love this its so innocent, if this were to be filmed nowadays everyone would shriek in horror and say its so Gay, what a manky world we live in nowadays.
@MrsBrownBoysFanClub Why not there were no women back then and men where men not ashamed of it. That's what real men do!!

I suspect they are dancing with each other because they were bored and there were no women.

@jimjimmyjames59 I don't know if they were bored. They just enjoyed dancing and the music.

So how come none of the other guys are dancing with each other? I see a few of moving to the music like they want to.
