Wartime Dancing (WWII)

If ppl would dance the Jitterbug, there would be no need for Weight Watchers!

[@charlesstuart7290]

Similar to rock n' roll dancing in the 50's - but way cooler

[@TonyRomearound]

There's some swinging cats right there

[@Pashasmom1]

Louis Prima's music could make everybody dance. What a legend.

The transition from the lindy hop to the jitterbug.

It is as though they were trying to make the most of every minute, just in case????

[@miklosernoehazy8678]

...@blacksorrento... ...yes, definitely... ...there was a sense of apprehension in those days, life was at the very edge of disaster, never knowing when an enemy attack would happen... ...think of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and effect it had on the general population of the USA...

[@blacksorrento4719]

@@miklosernoehazy8678 The attack on Pearl Harbour led to America’s formal entry into WWII, prior to that they were just sort of helping out. Yes this sort of dancing was akin to a safety release valve. They needed it at this point in time.

[@ruthpurkey5682]

Yes, considering what they were dealing with, there seems to be a kind of desperate exuberance to it. But it was also the coolest dancing, and it looks like it was a lot of fun. The music was great as well. So much better than what we have now.

[@jazzvictrola7104]

@@blacksorrento4719 That's why the Charleston of the 20's and its music were so much more fun! Everything was free and easy in the 20's with no threats hovering over young people.
