With all that’s going on in the world today, it’s nice to find little ways to treat ourselves while being stuck at home. Perhaps that means ordering a new movie on TV, enjoying a tasty snack, or breaking out the good china for taco night.
Well, below is a fresh order of French Fries to indulge in, but we’re not talking about the salty kind! They’re actually a trio of male dancers that might just lift your spirits too.
The dance troupe traveled to Munich, Germany to take part in the annual Rock That Swing Festival.
Once you see The French Fries slick moves and vintage style, it’ll make sense why they performed at the event. Each year, the festival sweeps attendees back to the olden days with dance, live music, workshops, and shows – all “from the roarin’ twenties to the rockin’ fifties.” So yes, these guys were in just the right place!

Nicolás, Florent, and Jérémy make up The French Fries, a group that can really heat up a dance floor.
The trio typically dresses the part for their performances they don’t disappoint. For the Rock That Swing Festival, all of the members had on suits and bowties, with their hair slicked back. Many would agree that they look quite dashing, don’t you think?
But if you need another reason to stay mesmerized, just wait until you see them dance!
The French Fries jump right into their performance with the classic song “Love Me Or Leave Me” playing in the background.
All eyes are on the three men as they smoothly cut a rug with big smiles on their faces. It’s as if someone turned back the clock to a whole other era!
Their dance moves go perfectly with the jazzy tune, which was originally written in 1928. The version playing, however, is from 1959 and it’s by The Lester Young – Teddy Wilson Quartet.
A little while in, the crowd lets out a cheer and starts clapping along.
It’s hard not to be drawn in by the group’s high energy and totally hip routine. And just like how real french fries are addicting, watching them dance kind of is too.
One viewer commented:
“I watch this over and over, its great, so smooth. love these guys.”
The French Fries are very talented when it comes to Swing. But if that’s not you, no worries.
According to the Rock That Swing Festival Facebook page, they offer tons of classes at their event for those looking to improve their skills!
“About fifty of the world’s best instructors will offer a vast variety of 150+ classes. You can choose any combination of classes in Lindy Hop, Boogie Woogie, Charleston, Balboa, Shag, Tap, Vernacular Jazz, and Burlesque. The class material comprises moves, lead and follow techniques, musicality and rhythm for all levels from beginners to advanced dancers, and all the way up to teachers.”

Even the guys get a little overheated on the dance floor.
They cutely pull out their pocket squares and wipe their faces, which gets a little cheer from the audience. Another viewer commented: “HEART MELTERS LOVE LOVE LOVE”
It’s a fun performance that might inspire you to dust off your own dancing shoes.
We could all use a little uplifting right now. Hopefully, The French Fries are just what the doctor ordered to help brighten your spirits.
