I remember that and when the Twist was banned at high school dances. I remember the scandal when LBJ had a party at the White House and they were dancing the (gasp)TWIST!
Also it seemed a new dance craze was coming out ever few weeks for the next 8 years.
My German great grandmother urged us to get up and dance with Chubby Checker (on TV) in her living room. Never knew the Twist was anything more than an innocent dance.
I won the twist contest in 5th grade.
