Neilla and Dietmar Ehrentraut are an older Austrian couple who share a love for music from the ’40s and ’50s.

But it’s not just the music they love—in fact, they are obsessed with that time period all around! Back in 2008, a reporter from the German humor website MySpleen.de interviewed the adorable couple and was shocked by their love for that time frame.

During the interview, you get a first-hand look at all of their memorabilia, including that awesome jukebox seen above!

Their whole house is filled with stuff from the ’40s and ’50s, all the way down to their vacuum cleaner.

Their style is awesome, but it was their incredible swing dancing that took the world by storm.

They made their YouTube debut on their channel SwingNiella nine years ago, and have since gone viral on several occasions.

In this video from 2017, the quick-footed couple does a breathtaking swing routine to a classic boogie-woogie tune.

Right from the jump, the crowd knows they’re in for a treat—and Niella and Dietmar waste no time getting into it.

After a quick bow, the music starts and they start shuffling their feet and swinging with what seems to be the energy of two teenagers.

And it’s not just simple moves they’re pulling out!

Swinging, spinning, and hopping their way around the dance floor, these two can do it all.

Not only that, they make it look easy the entire time, smiling from ear-to-ear. The crowd is completely enthralled with Niella and Dietmar, clapping along to the fast-paced boogie-woogie song.

When they finish their routine the crowd goes absolutely wild, but it doesn’t stop there.

Halfway through the video, they call on another couple to join them and switch partners.

Even when they’re with an unfamiliar partner, Niella and Dietmar own the stage and shine.

Their ability to move like this at 70 and 64-years-old has got us wondering what their secret is!

We’re going to guess it’s their great attitude. Even more impressive, they haven’t lost a step in the last four years.

Even today, they’re still swinging at 74 and 68-years-old!

Just last week, the precious couple posted a video of them doing another amazing swing routine right from their living room.

In that video, the two sweethearts give the world a quick introduction before showing us that they’ve still got it.

Their YouTube channel is filled with outstanding swing routines, many of which have gone viral. They’ve also gained the media spotlight with interviews more than once. In 2013 a journalist from Germany’s popular television program, Sendung im SWR, interviewed Diella and Dietmar about their love for Rockabilly music, dance, fashion and memorabilia.

During that interview, they follow the couple to a Rockabilly dance hall to check out the scene, and of course, for their wicked dance moves too.

Once again, Diella and Dietmar steal the show with their electric moves, only this time there are people dressed up like “Greasers” enjoying the show.

Diella and Dietmar should be an inspiration to everyone, as they sure are to us.

Their ability to keep a young attitude, and continue doing what they love really warms the heart and soul. Be sure to check them out on YouTube for more amazing content.
