Just a tidbit FYI....
We used to dance like this when I was in school, only not with 2 girls. We went to the Olive Rec Center in Burbank on Wednesday nights and we had a back room where we could dance and practice new steps and turns. It was called "Lindy Club". Fun times for sure '59-'61. I and some of my friends use to swing dance on TV almost everyday after school at KCOP in Hollywood. I'd get a group and we'd all drive down there to The Wink Martindale Dance Party Show. We'd dance for an hour and go out with a 6 pack of Coke & Bubble Up each day. They were our sponsors. I had a whole patio full of the stuff and use to sell it to my brothers for a quarter a bottle. HA!! In the summer after my Jr. year we did the show from POP in Santa Monica. Good 'ol days for sure!!! Wink and I were good friends and are still in touch. He lives about 10 min. from us in Calabasas. We email now & then too. George and I still Swing dance, I taught him years ago. We love to dance on cruises. Love this video!!!!
