Loved it! Took me back seventy years to when I could dance like that!... BHB, 86 this month!

I hope they didn't leave their bags unattended...

Growing up, some of my best memories as a small child were watching my parents jump and jive in pure jitterbug fashion. I was privileged to grow up in a home where Big Band music was played and appreciated! Watching Mom and Dad dance with such finesse and in total sync was pure entertainment. Melodies will always come and go, but TRULY GREAT music, as created in the Big Band Era, will never be surpassed!

Thanks Flash Mob Denver for sharing your talents - you were terrific!
