93 1/2 year old legendary dancer Jean Veloz performs a routine she first did for a movie called "Swing Fever" in 1943. She had not performed the routine in 74 years.
93 year old Jean is seen with her 19 year old self doing the same dance routine on a big screen behind her with a clip from 1943.
Los Angeles dancer and teacher Rusty Frank recreated the "One Girl and Two Boys" routine to be performed for the 20 year anniversary of Camp Hollywood. The other two dancers are Steve Conrad (Army) from the Arizona Lindy Hop Society, and Joel Plys (Navy) from San Diego. Music by the Bill Elliott Swing Orchestra.
Filmed by professional photographer/videographer Vince Fry.
Part of this routine was also performed by Jean, Steve and Joel for the NBC TV show "Little Big Shots: Forever Young".

My great grandma lived to 114. She was an award winning ballroom dancer who kept on dancing. Never sick, never complained. Died peacefully in her sleep.
So the trick is to 💃
oh my outstanding GOD BLESS
That’s a blessing.
@@michellehill8895 TRUE... if u stay healthy!
What an inspiration, still today.❤ Thanks for sharing her story.
She's fabulous. Who the hell would dislike this? Makes no sense.
Hello Elizabeth , How are you doing?
She's adorable and doesn't look a day over 65! And still dances like a dream!
Her movements are unbelievably fluid for her age! She moves her hips like a much younger person. Gives me hope at 58 that I can return to swing dancing myself!
Fantastic
Me,too!
Fantastic! My admiration is to dance like this at this age...
So many great anti-aging vid's online now! Check out Dr David Sinclair, for one! U are still young!
la danse le meilleur des sports
Boy, my parents could really cut a rug together! My generation and those following have certainly missed out on a great tradition!
Thank you for introducing me to this fantastic expression!
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
This lady will be at least a hundred years old, for sure. It‘s incredible how good-looking and fit she is for 93 years. Blessings to this lady... you‘ve danced beautifully, now and then ❤️❤️❤️.
Well said🙂👍...what an amazing lady!
OMG I pray I'm still that good looking fit and healthy at 93 !
Exactly and she does look "Fabulous"!!!
What fun! This is so inspirational and amazing!

She still was a very good dancer for being 93. Sadly she passed away on Jan. 15 2023 at the age of 98. RIP
what a loss. the best generation. a fine lady.
Now she can dance among the clouds. RIP
When I was younger I remember my elders saying never stop dancing. Now that I'm older I can truly understand why they said it. Dancing keeps us in touch with the rhythms of life. If you stop dancing you lose the rhythm and you begin to age in the worst way. Don't lose the rhythm. Never stop dancing 🥰
"...you begin to age in the worst way" Is that like the way I did, in a wheelchair? I couldn't help it, and I was an athlete. But in the worst way, we all can't be like you. Watch your words - all you need is a bit of R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
Two perfect “gentlemen” and a lovely lady...God still smiles on this earth!
She is awesome. I love how much fun the two fellas dancing with her now are having too! The 23 people that didn't like this need to check themselves for a pulse.
Probably didn't like this because of all the talking.
Probably her ex+boyfriend's jealous they didn't marry her. 🤷
The woman is 93!!!!!, what do you expect.
I love her spirit. That makes her live so long and healthy at her age.

This lady is inspirational. How fantastic to see her so active and enjoying dancing still. Absolutely amazing lady.
Total brillant
How did I end up finding such a gem of a video??? As a former dancer who aches and cries sometimes from missing the feel of dance shoes and choreography, I'm crying at my dining table watching this!
Find someone to dance with and start dancing!
@@conniekivell797 EZ=easy! I'm watching a 3 part video right now...Dr David Sinclair. He says skip breakfast/small lunch/good dinner. Most I watch say skip dinner instead. I usually stop eating by 3pm, and eat 'brunch' at around 11 or 12. I did it all in baby steps.
@@staceykersting705 excellent comment and I 💯👍 agree whole heaRtedly ‼️‼️👍👍🌜✨🌛🎯🧡
@@julieconnard4372 I dance with Paula Abdul, Michael Jackson, J Lo, anyone one videos that's fun to move with!
@@staceykersting705 on
She’s blessed to still be able to dance into her nineties! I wish her many more years of dancing 💃!
All u need to do is keep moving and grooving! I'm only 70, but most days I do at least 2 10 min exercise videos, 10 min Tai Chi, 30-45 min bike ride, and/or a 25 min dog walk. As my dogs stop to sniff, I do a walk in place to keep my heart rate up. Move frequently for tons of energy. One of the best thing u can do for your diet is eat real food (not processed) and give up sugar. Avoid bad fats> It's worth it to switch to avocado oil, real olive oil and coconut oil. Ppl guess I'm in my early 50's. Too many of my friends are dead already.
I love how her shirt and shoes also match her glamorous Hollywood dance she is a gem and a real beauty. She is a goal.
Well stated.
How could anyone not enjoy seeing a 93 year old beautiful woman dance like that. Truly amazing! 👍🥰
U
You're absolutely right!! It's an Absolute Honor to be invited
So good I shared it to my Facebook, along with the original ruclips.net/video/a1-LqqPnkf0/видео.html
I 70 and getting out of bed ordeal this gives you hope Rock on mam

There needs to be more dancing like that in America.
Once ya got it - ya got it
I agree!!! Why is there Not I wonder. When I was in my 20's there was a dance EVERY weekend. The music back then was "Quality". I never understood how people could dance to "Rap"!!!
The answer is ..you can if you enjoy hanging onto your crouch and just bob your head in all directions. Just no rythem!!! 👎🏽
I adored this routine!! She's still as beautiful as she was when she was 19 yrs old. Blessings to her. 🥰👏
No.... She is most definitely not.
@@jonathanfelso Seems you're getting one meaning of what he's saying, what about the other?
Or is this just a joke.
@@edwardrichtofen1252 There is only one meaning. I get that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but Im pretty sure that that every beholder would agree that this woman was way more beautiful at 20.
Its a very cute statement, but wrong.
@@jonathanfelso I mean, of course that's very obvious... anyone can see that.
He did not literally mean it, he probably meant it through that she has lived on through out these years and is still dancing with the same spirit all those years ago.
The "AS" is the key point in what the person at the top said... however I do not wish to turn this conversation into an argument.
Hopefully we can agree on both sides?
@@jonathanfelso qqqqqqqqqqqqq+qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq••••a THE
Incredible! WE should all take a lesson from her! She looks fabulous and moves beautifully! Inspirational!
She is just adorable to watch. Still has her youthful moves. Loved watching every minute of it. Smiled the whole time while watching.
That dance was absolutely wonderful!! She was so happy and at 93, she did a phenomenal job.
The feet never forgot...dancing can keep you young...well done!!!
Thank you Jean for stepping back in time and taking us with you, wonderful!
Hello Deborah, How are you doing?
Can't stop crying because I've been feeling sorry for myself for just turning 60 years old and feeling old even though I'm in good health and exercising everyday. She is going to motivate me. I feel changed by this out and out love. I am so grateful that this film crossed my path. I thank all involved.
Wait. I don't understand. Does this mean that there are actual human beings that shows to dislike this? I feel sorry for them.
Dancing is fun exercise and I do it every chance I get and I'm 66. Some of my wife's friends, associates who have never met me are surprised when they stop by and I'm in the yard doing something. I'm usually listening to music and I let it move me as I do whatever it is I'm doing. Right now I have over 40 CDs on my phone's Micro SD Card and a playlist of close to 300 songs ranging from Swing to R&B to Rock and Roll. Keep moving and don't let idiots tell you that you are supposed to sit down and not do anything after you've reached a certain age. Oh, I had a heart attack and bypass surgery in 2013 and I still move...
Life over sixty with Sandra is a great channel , she is now over eighty! Still going strong. Her newest video is out, one to listen to.
Keep moving keep your mind positive thinking
She was amazing ! Loved her performance - and such a pretty 94 year old !!!
Wow! This lady is just as beautiful now, at 93 as when she was 19. So smooth and elegant. What an inspiration!!
GREAT Going Grandma!!! My mother is 92 and in an old folks home! She can't walk or talk or even eat by herself!!! SO, You, my dear, are a wonderful inspiration and role model for "How to grow old......dance-fully"!!! Thanks so much and never stop dancing girl!!! D
Go ask your mom to dance 💃
Awesome God Bless Her
Well said Darrell Rolstone! Well said!!
I just loved the dancing it's awesome thank you I enjoyed it
That's sad about your mom, maybe you should encourage her
That was just beautiful ❤️ age ain't nothing but a number! She still got it and looks great!!!
I find it so charming that the gentlemen dancing with her are just enjoying her moves and giving her that attention as if she was 19 again. That's so honorable to me. As I know this is to show how she still has that classy style.
Hello Donna
How areyou doing today?
At 69 I would give anything to know that if I went to a dance club that just SOMEONE would ask me to dance. Dancing is my life even though I didn't dance for a living! So many nights I listen to music on youtube and just dance my old heart out in my living room!!! Though I would prefer to be at a dance club dancing my heart out......
@@maryfehrenbach9893I think you need to get back on the dance floor, Mary. That’s advice from a fellow Mary who wishes she could dance even remotely like that!!! :-)
@@mkfd4571 I attended my annual CZ reunion in Orlando from 7/5-7/10 and danced as much as I could! Even in my hotel room!!!! Dancing frees my soul!!!! When I die and if there is a memorial for me I want that song 'All She Wants to do Is Dance, Dance!! If there is a marker at my grave site I want this written on it!!!
WOW! It's one thing to dance this but to keep time and the sequence with the movie screen??? Amazing!
Amazing! How precious is she?? And the men did a great job being gentle.👍🏼
The secret she doesnt grow “old” is dancing. Keep on dancing grandma! Youre great and inspiring!! I hope i would be dancing as good as her when im 93!
Really lifted my spirits watching this. All three look like they’re having such fun. Proof you are never too old 😊
Beautiful! Also, I loved how *gentle* those men were with her. This seriously made my day (three years after it was posted)
😳 omga
WHAT AN AMAZING DANCER!! I wish I could dance that well. I did tap my toes side to side & away my hips but NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS HER LITTLE PINKY TOES!!! Keep it going it it’ll keep you going!
Wow! She is wonderful! 93 and moving like that.
She’s 97 now
For some reason this makes me want to cry. I think it's just the sheer beauty of a lovely elegant lady at the ripe old age of 93, with her hair done and a lovely man treating her so gently on the dance floor and her just killing it! I suppose the beauty of her spirit.. Its what's making me tear up. Reminds me of what my mother could be if she were still alive though younger.
Good show,great performance,
good health and dancing thru
life can't be topped!
This reminded me of my mum and dad. They LOVED to Jitterbug and would dance at family parties and their wedding anniversary, each year.

Beautiful lady and extremely talented dancer.
Here's the prove: Dancing keeps you young. And you don't need clubs, you can also dance at home, at school, on the street etc. Let's Dance. 🇳🇱🌬💞
Don't feel bad. I hosted a small event for seniors & they were still dancing long past the time I was worn out. Eventually I had to cut the music so the last of them would leave. I was in my 30s.
I walk 5 miles a day trying to keep in shape. I did start dancing as part of my routine. I am 65 years old and feel great.
@@jamedraa8472 that's awesome!!
I dance at home all the time
@@jamedraa8472 hilarious
I just saw this dance # for the 1st time. How awesome to dance the same # 74 yrs later. She was fantastic despite not doing the lifts. She does not look 93. She probably took care of herself & seems to be in good shape to continue dancing the whole piece. What an inspiration. 👍👍👍👍👍👍From Julie in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
I really enjoyed this. Her movements were so fluid for a woman her age. So many women in their 70's, 80's and 90's are so stiff and wobbly. Shows how important it is to keep moving throughout your life. I hope I am still dancing when I'm in my 90's.
All u gotta do is keep on moving and grooving!
It takes good care and dedication. She has sadly passed away though.
I remember mom and dad doing the jitterbug and, man, they had us going when we watched them swing it! They still could do it in their 70's.
warmed my heart, gave me goose bumps and... wish those days were back! God bless her and wish I had just Half of what she's got at 93+!!!b. Loved those 'Men' too!! 👍
Aww wow this was so pure and beautiful. I actually shed a tear . What lovely memories and what a talented, happy lady xx
Watching this gave me a shiver. That tingly excited feeling of joy you get when you see something incredible. Lord, give me the strength and good hips to move like that at almost living a century.
Hello 🤩
Jean Veloz still have the moves! She is a great dancer & a role model! Keep on dancing! Awesome performance of all three dancers.👏👏👏❤️
Unbelievable amazing beautiful lady go girl ❤️❤️❤️that’s what keeps you young. Love my dancing 💃. Guys are fantastic 👍❤️
Jean Veloz is such a treasure! I was so lucky to meet her in November 2019 in DC at Glen Echo in the Spanish Ballroom. She has been coming to DC every year for Groovie Movie weekend for years, but this was the first time I got to sit down and talk with her. Such a sweetheart!
Hello 🌹
My family are Veloz.
This young lady, who I've learned is Ms. Jean Velos, whom I've seen countless times in swing clips astonishes my senses with how young and fit she is, and as beautiful as ever. They don't call it the Greatest Generation for nothing. May she dance forever.❤️💃❤️💃❤️
Wonderful seeing the elderly living life to its fullest!

Beautiful at 29, gorgeous at 93! Still moving bettercthsn I can! God bless her!
You can't see her face in this video, her dancing is great though
That’s amazing! Imagine being 93 years old with bones that are tired & stiff. Hearing isn’t the best and eyesight is declining as well. Just to get a better perspective on why this lady is so amazing!
Hello 🌹🤩🌹
She looks incredible and she has the moves !
Hello Susan
How are you doing today?
Wow! She's a legend! I can't dance like that at 44. She's so graceful and beautiful as she glides across the dance floor. 💞
My mom is 94 and does this same dance often. I m 57 and can barely move around. Maybe I should ve learned to dance when I was younger.💗
oh same as me then 😅😅😅
Not too late to start!
Same here!
Gives me hope I'm 69 .. let's dance!!🤣🤣😁😁
My father started taking ballroom dancing at the age of 70. He's one of my favorite dance partners and one of the best in the class. It's NEVER too late to start.
She doesn’t look her age! What a wonderful tribute! I love ANYTHING from the forties...the dancing, music, mood! She is such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing this special moment with us! 💃🏻
Hello Angela
How are you doing today?
My mom is 94 1/2 and I can’t believe this woman still dances! Wow!
Neve ever stop dancing!
Her smile says it all. Oh and her ruthless love for the jive is 100% ❤️💖
She blessed us with her talent. How very proud you must be. You can tell she was an amazing woman.
I hope she's still dancing on this Earth...🙏🏽
I always thought dancing was good for the soul!!!
She passed away this January 2023 at age of 99

Exactly
It’s gone with the wind now
Your absolutely 💯% correct ! It's a shame that went out with style and grace !
Omgosh, this was something special. What a gorgeous woman then and now. I absolutely love how they danced in those days, such an amazing period sadly gone.
WOW! She is "Amazing"! She 💃 dances with such "Grace, Poise & Elegance"! NOTE: She doesn't miss a beat or a step! 😃
Bless her heart! She still moves those hips like a 20 year old. Full of grace & style. I wanna be just like you when I grow up!!

This lady is wonderful ! She does not look 93 years old, in fact she looks almost as good as she did when she was 19 ! And, boy can she still dance ! What a great show to watch.

Amazing, strong lady. Notice how she stands and walks upright. Great dancer!
She is beautiful! Then AND now. What a blessing to see. So many people forget that the older man and woman have a lot to offer us all. If only we would pay attention, watch and listen, what amazing things we would learn
This is SOOO AWESOME!!!! YES, she is beautiful, and yes, dancing keeps you young...GOD BLESS HER!!!

It just made me believe that there is no age limit for dancing...
Unless you suffer from rhumathoid arthritis of the feet , knees and hips.
Besides all that yes dancing can be done at any advanced age
