@Franklyn1955 This is true. So technically the dancing in the movie is actuate since kids in Germany wouldn't know what real swing dancing looks like. :-D lol

You are absolutely right!
But:: how many professional lindyhop dancers did exist in Germany in the year 1939?
I am not convinced, that even one of them could do it better than the actors in this movie.

@mirtasmiddlefinger Do me a favor and look up "Hellzapoppin". The dancing in the movie Swing Kids is a bunch of actors who learned to dance for the movie. The dancers in Hellzapoppin were professional swing dancers who the producers put in the movie. Big difference.

@Condom007of007Solace yeah Hitler only wanted German music to be played.

@Condom007of007Solace To the best of my knowledge any music that wasn't German was banned and illegal in Germany during the Nazi reign of the 1930s-1940s.

@bradmedicus What I love about this film is that it touches on a part of the Nazi take over that, at least to me, isn't well known. The banning of music that wasn't German and the Nazi Youth organization.
25 years ago, we had Dirty Dancing.
20 years ago, we had Swing Kids.
5 years ago, we had Step up 1.
3 years ago, we had Step up 2.
1 year ago, we had Step up 3.
In 1 year, we'll have Step up 4.
Fuck this, I'm going back in time.

This is such a great film ... a snapshot of a period in time that was absolutely horrible for the German people. There was still some good shining through that evil period in human history ... SWING HEIL!!
