To the couple in the video, I was around in the era for Happy Days & it's not danced the way you did. No offense at all, but it's like other comments said, you were a little too slow, the dance is more energetic & that was not the Jitterbug music. Happy days is another one. The dancing schools should get the real music for it.
I saw 'the jitterbug' dance on I love Lucy, episode ' Lucy has her eyes examined'. One chapter has Jitterbug 101, followed by 'auditions at the club', it shows Lucy & her dance instructor dance the Jitterbug. Different from the couple on video.
Ok so this is what America is a piano that never gets used and a lady that does not even know how to work a booom! box...pathetic people spending to much time watching tv.
0:05-1:08 Don't you just Love It when your audience really pays rapt attention to what you're telling them? Lol. Enjoyed the dancing, though. Could it have been a little more energetic?
@bubblie4eva: Search on 'poodle skirt' and 'crinolines'. You will also want a pair of saddle shoes (instead of the athletic shoes she is wearing) to complete the look. Nostalgia is still in; replicas should be available, if you cannot find originals in the vintage shops.
Then that glory hog McCallister took the last of the supplies and pushed me off a cliff. I fell 8,000 feet onto a pile of jagged rocks. Of course people were a lot tougher in those days, I was jitterbuggin' that very night.

The jitterbug was a dance started by Blacks in the U.S. You can usually go to the juke joints to see people doing the jitterbug.

Contemporary jitterbug as danced in dance competitions is different, and I don't like it nearly as well as the old way.

Kids! Shut up and learn the jitterbug! D:
Seriously, I'm only 20 but I can't get why teenagers can't shut up and listen. :/
I love the Jitterbug. :3
