It's Swing Music, which was popular in the 1930s through WWII.
He didn't create that name. It was a generic name given to the jumping style of dancing that was often performed to swing music. It resembled a bug jittering around, hence the term.
Ray Anthony was a 17-year-old trumpeter when he passed an audition to perform with the Glenn Miller civilian band. Unfortunately he wasn't able to handle live performances very well and parted company with Miller after a short time. His abilities matured following the war and he parlayed his move-star looks and brief association with the Miller band into many years of performing original Miller arrangements and new songs written in the Miller style.
The Glenn Miller Orchestra featured several notable saxophonists throughout its history, including Tex Beneke, who was a prominent soloist and later became the band's leader after Miller's disappearance. Other sax players included Al Klink and Wilbur Schwartz, both of whom contributed to the band’s distinctive sound. The orchestra's arrangement often highlighted the saxophone section, which played a key role in its signature style.
Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" features a blend of instruments typical of big band orchestras, including clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, and trombones. The arrangement prominently highlights the mellow sound of the clarinet and the lush harmonies of the saxophones, supported by a rhythm section consisting of piano, bass, and drums. Strings may also be included in some versions, enhancing the dreamy quality of the piece. Overall, the combination creates a smooth, romantic sound characteristic of Miller's style.
I've been swing dancing for over three years and I love it! I tend to favor Big Band Swing style music, but also like other styles. My favorite songs to dance to are are: - Sing, Sing, Sing (Glenn Miller Orchestra) - In the Mood (Glenn Miller Orchestra) - Mambo #5 (Lou Bega) - Peroxide Swing (Michael Buble)
The band led by Glenn Miller's nephew, John Miller, is called the "Glenn Miller Orchestra." John Miller has continued the legacy of his uncle by performing and touring with this band, which pays tribute to the original Glenn Miller Orchestra's music and style.

Any swing band (in the style of Glenn Miller), any folk group that plays jigs and reels and any chamber orchestra will play dance music.
