  • As a teenager in the late 1970’s I always enjoyed watching American Bandstand on Saturday afternoons. This is a montage I created of one of my favorite dance partners on the show during that time Debbi McKay and Fred Vuittionet. They were both extremely talented dancers and always a lot of fun to watch. I've had the honor and privilege of meeting Debbi and Fred. They're both very nice people. Be sure to visit Debbi's excellent UA-cam page at: / djdebbi1
