    The Twist was the first time that adults got involved in a teenage dance craze. My parents, who were in their 40s then, eagerly participated. My mother actually went to an Arthur Murray Dance Studio (which this man is from) with one of her friends to have a Twist lesson in 1961.

      Hey there! I've tried having a look into it but with not much luck. I'll keep trying to see if I can find anything for you. What I would recommend is hosting your own! The best way to bring things back is to start them up again. If nobody attempts anything then nothing will ever continue. I imagine it wouldn't be that difficult to host such a thing. People are always eager to try new things.

    This dance - and its unlimited variations, bring such smiles and memories. In grade three music class, the teacher had me jump up on her desk and demonstrate it when everyone else was glued to their seats - a teacher wouldn't dare ask of that today! Loved it, and danced through the lunch period instead of eating as people from the halls spilled inside and joined. This moment I paid homage to storyline wise in my upcoming movie "The Devil's Tail" (2020) with four licensed twist tracks of "Steven Garrick and His Party Twisters." (The trailer is posted here as that title) ... so wonderful reading the comment from stuffy321 that his parents are shown dancing, and that they still do the moves. They're not the only ones...

I really truly honestly did ,still do love the music from back then . What they call music is rap . When,if I happen it it's a turn off to me . Reasons being # 1.

    1961 was the year I left school and it was the first dance ever to drag all the boys onto the dance floor who were previously self conscious when it came to more formal dancing. The twist eventually evolved into what we see on the dance floor today. More about self expression than formal dancing.

    What's more, these adults seem to have so much enthusiasm, glamor, and talent. If I had been alive at the time of this video I could not dismiss them as has-beens or wannabes.

    The Twist was written by Hank Ballard in 1958. It was the b-side of " Teardrops On Your Letter". Neither side a or b did very well on the charts. Chubby Checker( Ernest Evans ) recorded it twice. In 1960 and 1962- the later one had a slightly different arrangement. It is the only record by the same artist to ever reach #1 in two separate years.

      I couldn't have said it better! The women dressed classy in high heels, 👠 the men in suit and ties, the epitome of class, which in 2024 is sadly forgotten!!!

    incroyable! Australian Pop music show from the early '60s.
    Rumour has it that this was filmed in technicolor, it's just that real life was in black and white.

    That Twist got more mad and outrageous in 62 / 63!
    Mum (born 1922) considered it as VULGAR.
    HER Mum (born 1898!!!) LOVED the Twist and DANCED IT!😃👍😂
    Everyone did the Twist then. A Rage, that conquered the world like ANY other dance! From SF to Berlin, from North pole to Fire islands.
    Except perhaps the Charleston
