Vintage Swing Dancing and 1950s Teen History
(1950s rock n' roll, 1950s juvenile delinquency, teen idols, 1950s teen fashions,
hot rod culture, rock n' roll dance styles, teen movies of the 1950s.)
Below is a beginner-friendly instructional video in 1950's style "double-time" jitterbug, the type of swing dancing that was done by actual teenagers in 1950's after-school tv dance shows.
It isn't Smooth Lindy as seen in 1950's rock n' roll drive-in movies, but it is the type of simplified swing dancing that was done on shows like "American Bandstand."
Unlike lindy, this style can be learned completely on-line
