Dance
1960's
The Twist
The dances and the songs were very unique back in the 1960's.i mean the names just got you wondering.the mashed potato, the fly, the monkey, the swim, the twist etc. But the twist was the most popular for a while. its simple dance steps made it easy for all ages. the movement was, place one foot forward & twist while rotating your hips from side to side. see simple but fun!

Doing the monkey
This dance , "the monkey" i s done face to face doing solo improvisations based upon looking like a monkey putting your arms up in the air swaying them from side to side,bobbing your head, scratching your armpits, stopping and checking for lice in other peoples hair. GROSS!
