I Hate the way people get so caught arguing about rock n roll/ swing /jive/ lindy styles and dont actually sit back and enjoy! i dance 4 step rock n roll and i dont give a shit what people say about it because i love doing it and its a million times more fun than sitting around arguing about which style it is!

I don't get it .. don't you people that post comments spend any time watching Youtube? first, the song is a blues, how old it that??? ( a 1-4-5) and where and when did it start?? second, the dance you see started with the "funky but" back in the early 1900's or before, 3rd it became the lindy. Then the music was picked up by Elves, Bill, Buddy and so on. and it became excepted... and there you have it. Get over it . Our only art form from the US.

That lone "Crazy Cat" dancer bouncing out of his skin must have been on some heavy benzedrine ( amphetamines ) back then.. But he had rhythm.. Hell they all had Rhythm, Great way to get a great cardio workout too!

If you think about it, Back in the day People werent as out of shape as they are in today's society. Back then when younger people went out with their friends, there was always a lot of dancing because the music was so catchy. Today when everyone goes out, its more of an audio experience instead of an interactive one. Very few tunes today have that catchy beat that inspires dancing..

My mother used to dance the Jitterbug and still does a slower variation at weddings with her friend. Its a cool dance and watching this makes me wish I could dance like this. This music goes very well this kind of timed Lindy/jitterbug. If people really get into the beat and dance like this really makes people take notice. Today these Madonna/britney style dance steps are dull and lack creativity.
