This is a thread dedicated to my absolutely favorite Swing Dance vids. PLEASE, if you have any that aren't listed here, post them. Any contributions you can make towards preserving the memory of this fantastic dance are well appreaciated. *lol. Okay, I'll shut up now. *
1. Groovy Movie--A hilarious movie that teaches you how to Swing Dance and mentions it origins (all in a comical routine). At the end is a c. three minute video of just pure Swing Dance with no lessons.

9. Juke Box Joes--I think this is a '50's video but no matter. It has a soldier and sailor in it. lol! And I think it's a band from my home town, but I could be wrong.
