Swing dancing, born out of the vibrant jazz era in the United States, has a rich history that continues to captivate dancers worldwide. In the 90s, there was a revival of swing dancing, and its popularity has only grown since then. To get a glimpse of the swing revival in Europe, check out our short clip featuring an interview with Frankie Manning, one of the original masters of swing dancing from the '30s.
