@zoep995 don't tell the original jitterbugs they were low energy. They'd show us all up on the dance floor. Check out "Groovie Movie" (1944) for starters. Watch out for all the jitterbug that's not just 6-count too =) Btw, the Groovie Movie jitterbugs in LA were inspired by these Whitey's Lindyhoppers from Harlem, NY.

@notasharecropper it faded out when bepop and the twist became popular.

this is unreal. Not to mention.. amazing, cool, fresh, exciting. Thanks for putting this up

@zoep995 It's not the Lindy Hop either. It's Swing

@guitarhero380 We here support you, though.

Nope Jitterbug is the simplest of all types of swing. It's a 6 count dance and you'll often find older couples doing it because it's so low energy. This is Lindyhop which is classified by it's iconic "swingouts". Being dancing Lindy for quite awhile now myself and worship Frankie Manning, the best Lindyhopper there ever was!

@zoep995: Aren't the two terms essentially synonymous? At any rate, that's some of the finest dancing I've ever seen. I think the youngsters dancing were some of the star dancers from the Savoy Ballroom, who were brought out west to appear in this film.
awesome!!...when did this style of dancing fade out?

@notasharecropper Lindy Hop faded out around late 40s. Right now it is experiencing a revival. :)
