It's really nice to see this old footage. It's a shame we don't have dances anymore. Everyone is out of shape and more depressed these days. Dancing is a wonderful safe exercise and it lifts the spirits.

People dressed better, people danced better, people treated each other better. EVERYTHING was just better.

I like the gentleman at 2:04.

[@ceilconstante640]

No gentleman at 2:04. Just a ladies dancing shoes.

Why did everybody appear to be 50 years old?

[@joybranham8250]

It's the hair styles. Lots of middle aged people, but some young ones too.
