This is lindy hop, not swing.

@SuperHartline The movie features Dean Collins, one of the most famous Lindy Hoppers of the day, and who was featured in more movies than any other swing dancer.

Looks up "Hellzapoppin" to see how the black dancers danced swing. :-)

[SuperHartline]

for some authentic jitterbug look up the number 'Bounce Me Brother With A Solid Four from the movie Buck Privates, 1941...not necessarily better than this, but it wasn't nostalgia it was current. Superhartline

@LeoBullterrier It must have been so amazing to see this dancing in its actual time period :)

@BeeBran333 There's many different kinds of swing dances. Lindy Hop is the original swing dance, but you probably learned something easier like East Coast Swing. :-)

@lindyhop411 in that case yes I learned lindy hop and it really fun !

[lindyhop411]

@BeeBran333 Lindy Hop IS swing! Everything else comes from Lindy Hop.
