Bellissimo video! grazie a YT per l'opportunità che ci offre di conoscere un genere di danza a me sconosciuto sino a qualche mese fa!

[@choraldirector09]

How nice for you! This was so much fun. I am sure you enjoyed seeing her dance... and with Arthur Murray!

Aw I just found this gem. My grandparents Ruthie and Johnny were the first demonstrators at the studio. Thank you so much for posting! Will def be sharing with the family.

I really like the part when those four couples dance in different styles. Must have been fun to be young in those years if you had dancing in you.

[@benjaminbarrera214]

It's fun now, because we can still learn the styles that were popular back then.

[@jallfjallf]

At what part of the clip does your mother dance, David?
