      The girl dancer 4 was not all that great. the guy was too good for her. Couple 1 was better. The guy 4 was too aggressive pulling the girl around- she was too weak dancing.

      Pony tails and poodle skirts (and saddle shoes!) were in the 50s, not the 60s. 60s was the 'British Invasion' inspired 'Mod' look.

      @@my2cents2u Well said, people get them confused. The 60's were (British Invasion; Beatles; social liberation; love in's; long hair & hippies) (mostly mid to late 60's) The 60's were (not at ALL) the 50's. Thats when dancing separately became "the" thing. The dancing on Bandstand was a bit behind in times, because DC tried to tone things down and had rules to get onto the show.

    Sorry guys, I think couple #1 has it. At 3:23 they are really starting to get their groove on. Their dance is in sync with each of them giving the same amount of effort. #4 is good too but its the male who is dominating the dance moves.

    With updates, this look is how AB was staged until its demise in the late nineties.
