Neil shares all!
The club waits with baited breath
How it was in 1945...
Music brings him a big smile!
"I hear music... You know what that means!"
"To the floor..."
Del does NOT have to look at his feet... His tie tells all!
"It was Vicky's idea!"
Waltz or Cha Cha or both?
Dnacing makes the feet go whacky!
"Remember dear, dancing is like dreaming with your feet! "
Moving around the floor with the greatest of ease
The smiles tell all!
Richard moves about the floor
It's going to be a great Thanksgiving!
Some fancy dancing is underway on the floor
The music was just right after a good dinner
Bernie is still celebrating his 95th birthday!
Welcome Marcia and Leon... The GPS whizards
Awe.... Great dancing and great smiles!
Life is good!
Experts Ghislaine and Pat demonstrate the proper way to twist
Did You Know? - The twist[a] is a dance that was inspired by rock and roll music. From 1959 to the early sixties it became the first worldwide dance craze, enjoying immense popularity among all people and drawing fire from critics who felt it was too provocative. It inspired dances such as the Jerk, the Pony, the Watusi, the Mashed Potato, the Monkey, and the Funky Chicken, but none were as popular.
Having seen teenagers in Tampa, Florida doing the dance, Hank Ballard wrote "The Twist" and released it as the B-side of Hank Ballard and The Midnighters' 1959 single "Teardrops on Your Letter".
Dick Clark, having noticed the dance becoming popular among teenagers, recommended to Cameo Records that the more wholesome Chubby Checker rerecord the song, which was released in 1959 and became a number one hit in 1960.
The dance became passe among teenagers as it became acceptable among adults and the song was released, becoming a number one hit again in 1962.
A world record was set in DeLand, Florida, on October 11, 2012, when Chubby Checker sang the song live and the crowd danced. An estimated 4,000 people twisted along with Checker, surpassing the previous Guinness World Record for most people twisting in the streets at once.
Come on baby, let's do the twist

"We just like watching for potential new steps"
