I think she is amazing and I think many more baby boomers will be like this.

She is amazing! We had better start practising some Swing.  Here she is in 1943 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMhGMA1R6lM

Really really love that youtube Taz and she is gorgeous, the guys too  :)

I love that Swing era, thanks for posting it Taz  :)

I can remember dancing like that at Mess Dos when we had Glen Miller theme Dances with Air force Regimental Big Band.

Happy Memories.

Fab!!  :clapping:

Here's a short video of her life story and a recent interview followed by a demonstration of swing dancing. I could quite get into that - it's clearly kept her fit...

My mum taught me how to Swing when I was a teenager she love to dance.

Bet I couldn't do it now though not danced for a long time.

I danced all night at a recent family wedding and literally couldn't walk properly the next day my muscles ached so much  ;D

I couldn't move like that nowadays never mind at 90.  Never danced swing. Hubby doesn't dance full stop. However, last time I danced was at my brother's sixtieth party. I could barely walk next day. Danced with all my brother's mates.

Brilliant!
I really want to learn that dance! What fun
I tried line dancing but it was so complicated. .I always seemed to be at the other end of the room to everyone else  :ola: (http://:ola:) and it really hurt my knees, I think I may have put too much effort into it  :parti: (http://:parti:)
This one seems easier?  ::) (http://::))
