1950's Dancing
The most popular style of dance for teenagers was swing dancing. 1950's teens preferred swing dancing but also used the closed style of dancing. At school dances, chaperones watched to see that students kept the proper dancing distance, not always successful. The closed dance style was taught in high school PE classes along with proper dance etiquette. Below is a short video clip of teenagers swing dancing.
