Shake it a baby...the Twist turns 50!

Hey all you guys and gals ask your Grandma where she was when Chubby Checker exploded on the scene with the Twist. For me it was a school party in the second grade. Even white people could do the dance.

If the neighbors are complaining about the Mashed Potato then give them some of the Monkey, the Hitch Hike, the Hully Gully, or The Swim.

The cool move is to hold your nose while you're going down.

I actually learned to do the Twist ....in New York at the Peppermint Lounge when Chubby Checkers was starring there ........OOPS kind of telling my age .......But it was an exciting and fun night I'll never forget ...and I can still do it .....
