Lennerockers -- Boogie woogie queen

[@thomashall9182]

I had to come out of this video, tears of joy clouded my 79 year old eyes, as was said of swing music, sheer pleasure.

[@prebooomer]

This was written by the Lennerockers, which proves OTR&R is still alive and well! thanks guys!! for keepin it alive!!!

[@toneymullins7092]

YOU GUYS & GALS KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE DANCING!!!!! THIS VIDEO IS RIGHT DOWN MY LINE!!! I LOVE MUSIC & DANCING. MUSIC REALLY LIFTS MY SPIRIT!!!!! TONEY M

[@RockinAtheist]

77 year old from Australia, though back in the 1950s I was still living in Britain. And yes, we developed our own routines from Jive, Jitterbug and whatever else came along. Arthur Murray Studios started losing big money because few people were interested in learning the waltz, foxtrot etc, so he introduced the one-two-rockback routine. To this day new people believe you need his steps before you can rock 'n' roll. I still teach rock 'n' roll and I tell everyone to forget it. Concentrate on feeling the rhythm just go with the flow. Like we did in the 1950s.

[@jamesprince9041]

I lived the American dream and had my fair share of boogie woogie queens, and loved them all.

[@bartram33]

James Prince you probably had my share as well😋

[@sananto6896]

Fantastico! Great dancing. Don't see that anymore. Thanks for posting.

[@davidrichard2761]

Those two in the middle to this music sooooo good. In their own video it’s entirely different music and fantastic stuff.

[@masseya99massey79]

Saw the Lennerockers at Birchwood in Lancashire a few years ago at a new year dance and they were brill, never stopped dancing!!

[@landerson8340]

I'm 55 always loved dancing so I am going to take lessons. Your videos have really inspired this African American woman in Milwaukee Wisconsin .

[@gianfreddi]

I'm twenty years older, I admire and a little 'envy your youthful spirit. Have a happy week. Ciao.

[@prebooomer]

As a 75 year old Swing Dancer, I encourage you to get out on the floor and learn to dance this way, it is tons of fun and will keep you young and fit for life!!

[@fransdielis2532]

I will be 75 this year, have loved jive dancing all my life

[@Bream243]

You gotta love these guys. It is hard to sit still when they are playing.

[@АлександрАрцибашев]

Замечательно сделали буги-вуги! Настроение выше крыши! Спасибо!

[@thomashogan16]

The words to this are profound and actually touching. Oh, to be able to dance to this!! "Thin is the line between pleasure and pain."

[@541raymond]

We love how you put this to old time movie scenes

[@denisoregan111]

Lennerockers one of the best r n r bands ever LOVE THEM

[@johnfellows2867]

During WW2, our city was heaving with US G.I's and airmen at the weekends. My mum told me she and her friends would Jitterbug at the local dance halls, and no, my dad isn't American ! Fantastic times !!

[@salvadorocampos6661]

Absolutely,,

[@tootz1950]

Wow, those swing couples were terrific.

[@grimsbydavid]

brings back memories of my youth - cept I could not dance as good as these

[@prebooomer]

In the early 1950's we teens took some of the moves from Jive Dancing and the Jitterbug and adopted them into the Bebop, which mainly was a bit slower, as Boogie Woogie is 6 X 6 Beat, and OTR&R is 4 X 4 Beat. and we didnt do much throwing or dipping of partners either, but, if you were good enough most dancers would clear a space on the sock hop floor and let me and my gal, now my wife, go at it!! I can still do all the moves at 76, just only once though, for every go round. This dancing routine will keep you young at heart and soul, and fit too!!

[@colinbryan8903]

prebooomer we meet again! Everything is as you say. Throwing your partner involved in dare I say the weight of her! We can still dance a bit though. Ain't memories wonderful.

[@prebooomer]

@@colinbryan8903 Hello Again. My wife weighed only 131 pounds, back in the day, I was 253 and very strong, as a farm boy I could buck 175 pound bales of hay with ease, so my wife was quite easy to do all the moves with, and she was a good dancer in her own right, had the moves and locations down pat. One thing most people do not realize about Swing Dancing is that you have to know exactly where your partner is at all times on the dance floor, and what she is doing. Miss a hand while doing these routines will get you seriously hurt!!

[@bobsims8179]

Prebloomer, it was so good to read your statement. I am 77, 2 more years over you, and I first heard R & R in 1954, at age 13, in the back seat my dad's 1954 Chevrolet, on our way back home in Hinton, Oklahoma, from Chickashas at my grandmother's, when, Dad was scanning the dial on the radio, as I set in the back seat, leaning over the front seat to hear what he would finally come up with, like "The Shadow Knows," or "Amos and Andy," or whatever stupid radio show put out, I yelled 'Stop,' as he briefly paused on a station with a new song I had never heard, but more that that was a new sound that grabbed my very soul. "Dad, please go back to that station," which he politely did, thank God, for my life changed, once again, that night, with that song, "Rock Around the Clock," by non other than Bill Haley and the Comets, whom I had never heard before. I was never the same again. I could go on for hours, but I stop here for the night. Again, thanks for your remarks. [e-mail] Love to hear from you.

[@lindasheperd512]

This is unbelievable!! Fantastic!

[@franklinarchambault5397]

what I liked about boogie woogie is every couple had their own dance steps and strutted their stuff

[@richardallen6013]

Brilliant, foot tapping tune puts a smile on your face 😊👍😃

[@kennypearce2371]

If I could dance like that! Und wunderbar to our German brothers for the tunes.

[@prebooomer]

They are a great group, love their interpretation of early American Rock and Roll! Which now belongs to the whole World, and is played by talented singers and bands from all over the Planet, keeping the Sacred Music alive, may it never die!!

[@davejohnson2089]

this was big in school in early 60s cant get enough

[@josephworby724]

this couple is so connected they are joined at the Hips they can read each other's moves mind absolutely brilliant (the wife)

[@prebooomer]

Yes they are. You cannot do this kind of dancing without knowing your partners exact moves and when they are employed. My wife and I have danced this way for 45 years, and cannot do hardly any of the moves with another partner!!

[@Vago358]

REALLY? Shame they're out of time to the music, but that's just thoughtless editing ;)

[@stevebrindle1724]

What great dance music Boogie is! Leaves you free to put your own interpretation into the dance, what a beat!

[@margritammeter8963]

Einfach grossartig

[@mickthornley7210]

And that’s how you do it, great music and great moves 👍

[@paulswanger2712]

One of my favorite songs ever since I heard it. Listen to it every day on my MP3 Players.

[@pearlhasson6706]

Thanks I could dance like this once in my youth

[@prebooomer]

Even some New Orleans slide steps done in this by the two Shag Dancers towards the end.

[@walteralter9061]

Sweet to see the evolution of the Lindy Hop/Jitterbug contemporaneously taken to a new, high resolution level with a much greater pixel density down by the feets where hells a'poppin

[@ОксанаКулеярова]

Музыка - супер! Классный танец - буги-вуги! Время молодости - наших лет! Прекрасное было время!

[@allenkennedy6748]

STEVEN STRAYER AND CHANZIE ROETTIG. ABSOLUTELY THRILLING. EQUAL TO THE MUSIC.

[@prebooomer]

The music is great!! the dancing is even greater!!! but, they do not go together, the dancers are doing the Lindy Hop which is a 6 x 6 beat, the music is OTR&R which is a 4 X 4 beat and is a bit too slow for this type of dance. which, is why they appear out of sync with the music at times!!

[@michaelfranke1254]

​@@prebooomer The later upcoming dancers are dancing at RTSF Collegiate Shag-Show dance from 2013, but the underlying music here is boogie. That doesn't go together! Here is the original video with the corresponding music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4aqpH-lj76LmJY

This is where R & R started from, Boogie Woogie, and Black Blues, a bit of Black gospel music, Jazz thrown in, it was all put together by Chuck Berry, Ike Turner, Fats Domino, Lil Richard, Maybelle Lewis, Big Mama Thornton. more than 65 yrs ago now !!

[@johnstill1451]

preboomer...Nice comment...I would have been 15 yo...First started rockin to "Piano Red", 1950!! Catch him on YT..."Rockin with Red".

[@intensionality]

boogie-woogie goes back decades before that & so does R&B. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogie-woogie

[@prebooomer]

@John Still. Yeah! Piano Red was a good one to listen to, back in the day, as well as now

[@prebooomer]

@ intentional inexistence. Absolutely, all started by Black folk in the U.S.A. I was just giving the facts for OTR&R which came from those earlier forms of music..

That dance is called the "JITTERBUG" Man, those were the days!

[@ardardsable]

yes it is

[@colinbryan8903]

Back in the 50's when you went dancing if you wanted to Jive you were roped off in a corner. Everybody else was doing a foxtrot or quickstep. Anyone remember?

[@prebooomer]

@@colinbryan8903 I sure do, but, it depended on the venue, but that was one of the main reasons us teens invented the bebop which was less gymnastic than either the Jitterbug or Jive

[@prebooomer]

Or the Jive, both were very much the same and incorporated the same moves, I think maybe the Jive was a bit wilder maybe?

[@colinbryan8903]

Preboomer. Holy S- - - you must be as old as I am. We probably caint swing like we used to.
