60s Dance Moves

[@lynnodonnell4764]

I went to college in the mid 70s. My mom and I were at a disco one night and she ran into a highschool classmate. They started dancing in 'oldie ' style and all the college kids cleared the floor and let these two young 40 somethings show off their dancing! It was so much fun to see how incredible my mom could dance

[@josereynoso4263]

My husband has a very Unique DANCE Moves,Nobody can COPY,We got lots of FANS & Appreciation,including the disabled on wheelchair.We prefer the music & Dance of the 60’s 70’s & 80’s,The Disco era.I myself does not like the “Ballroom dance” I felt am on a Pageant of Miss Universe always Waving LOL BUT…We can Dance the Freestyle.My Husband is my DANCING KING!!…Yeyy

[@leelasaraswat4662]

Love this! Wonderful you appreciate your Mom.

[@stevejohnson4462]

There's no one way to do these dances. Even in the 60's there were variations - the point was to have fun, and these ladies are definitely fun to watch. Thanks for brightening my day!

[@kathrynmiller9622]

There really were a lot of variations in the dances back in the sixties and I'm proud to say I was one of those that decided variations was the way to go. And yes, it was almost like a workout and that is why we stayed thinner but had a lot of fun staying that way. Glad I didn't know then what was coming my way later. The good old 60s!

[@firstenforemost]

@@kathrynmiller9622 You stayed thinner because people were still mostly cooking from scratch and they hadn't introduced High Fructose Corn Syrup into every food.

[@grammiecopper9024]

I know....I'm saying to myself...Mom showed me a different version. So glad to see your reply becz I can't ask Mom now.

[@lauramarymoonlight]

@@firstenforemost I agree this is true but I'm sure the dancing played a part. Dance halls (at least that's what they were called in Ireland), and showbands, were extremely popular, people would at least be dancing a few hours a week, which is more than what most people can say nowadays. The dancing in clubs today doesnt even equate to the energy of the dances back then. Not to mention they walked and cycled most places including to the dances.

[@IMeMineWho]

Actually the Mashed potato was done the way George Harrison did it on Ed Sullivan!

[@zzzzoot]

I don't care if the dances are historically accurate they look fun as hell

[@rednil2943]

As a 70 year old who grew up in Chicago while our versions were pretty different from these young ladies, they do just fine with energy and are adorable. Believe it or not I was just doing the dance called Madison Time with my Grands not 5 minutes ago. Dancing was fun and the song lyrics could be sung by children as well as their parents. RIGHT ON!

[@lamb7]

I’m 64, and our versions in Minneapolis were pretty different from these, too. Loved dancing with friends…always a great workout.

[@gidget8717]

They were strollin' a bit fast, I thought. I remember trying to be the slowest and coolest strolling! 🤣

[@songlyon7795]

Well here in Cleveland the dancing was pretty close to what the way we danced, although I never saw or heard of the Madison or the hully gully. The stroll was a classic….

[@runeplate123]

Besides all the woman being gorgeous in the past without a lot of make up they also had beautiful figures bcuz of how active they were!

[@maryaldaco7228]

A bit different up north too, back in the day. Of course we all think our generation had the Moves , But I Know we Did!!😀😎😎

[@KelABN]

I could watch this all day, these ladies are adorable and talented, and it’s really great to see good dancing and examples of some of the crazes that most of us have heard about all our lives, but never actually seen performed.

[@LillianArch]

We all could dance really well where I grew up. So could our parents but not these dances. LOL Even the guys. Very small school. 6th Grade our teacher let us dance at lunch recess. No partners just everyone dancing. (It was the year Kennedy was elected. I wonder what our Country would be like if the Kennedys hadn't been killed) Anyway, this brings back many wonderful memories!

Cute girls. But those aren't the moves done in the 60's. That's not how to do: locomotion, hand jive, mashed potatoes, or jerk. I know the dances -- I did them in the 60's.

[@alliehamilton-calhoun162]

My childhood was spent listening to my mom blasting these 45s on our humongous turntable console. I've always wanted to learn these dances. The closest I ever got was watching Troop Beverly Hills. Thank you, you guys are fantastic!

[@suzettekath9860]

The stroll was a couple's dance. The couple would do it down the line holding hands and occasionally face away for a set of steps then move forward, then face each other for a set then move forward.

[@suzettekath9860]

@cindykrista Nope. Dancing started out as both as a way for girls to get husbands. As well for religious reasons. While the gals danced. The guys could by how they danced, on how their health was, this included how fertile the young gal was. And in some areas of third world countries, it still happens. Same goes for dancing for one's Deity(ies).

[@HTNPSullivan]

They mention that they "transposed" some of the old dances to be more contemporary and work with their body types. But original versions were a lot of fun. To the younger viewers, to see how we did The Pony or The Jerk back in the day - maybe check out some old American Bandstand videos to see the difference between their adaptations and the original. The Pony was more of a prance with knees lifted high and the arms and hands in front of you like you were holding the reins (except your fingers were pointed downward), and you'd sychronize the movement of your arms with the up and down motion of your legs. And for The Jerk, your arms are bent at the elbow and held one over the other across the chest -- and you'd alternate them while "jerking" from your abs ... if that makes any sense. Both of those dances were quite a workout! For the old-school version of The Madison, check out the movie, "Hairspray." Also, if I remember right, both the Madison and the Watusi (and a lot of other dances) were usually done with a bunch of people on the dance floor in lines. That was a fun way to dance, in a group.

[@roseannemunroe8162]

HRNPSULLivan thanks for educating the younger generation, what I thought was lacking in these dances, no soul, no really feeling the music

I was working as an Arthur Murray instructor in 1970. All the dancing in open position from the 1960s made it a challenge to get clients to get the lead and follow techniques in closed position neede for ballroom.

@@90210bryan How do you know the older moves do not get the younger peoples attention. That is a big falsehood. I have gone to dances in the last few years and seen young kids being taught the correct way to do these dances and enjoy doing them as well as they enjoy doing the Lindy or the Jitterbug. I would love to see how well you would do if you had to do the twist the way Chubby Checker taught it originally, believe me it takes more endurance and energy than one might think. Also can you please explain to me how doing a dance and calling it the Wautusi when it is nothing like the dance that really is the Wautusi is being retro? I do not see how two young women thrusting the pelvis' toward the camera and then fanning there hands behind them like they had just passed gas is any way a form of dancing, retro or otherwise, that kind of behavior is more suitable for the bathroom not the dance floor........but then again that is just my opinion.
