The ’60s were such a fun time! Do you remember dancing and seeing a ton of dancing on television in that decade? It seems like no one shows groovy dance moves on television shows these days. Perhaps they are all just saving it for dance reality shows. Someone put together a mashup with some of our favorite 1960s stars and their dance moves. It is awesome! It will definitely take you back.
In the video, the song playing is called “Let’s Dance” by Chris Montez. The song was released in 1962 and shot up to No. 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Do you remember it? The lyrics go like this… “Well, let’s dance, well, let’s dance / We’ll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too / Any old dance that you wanna do / But let’s dance, well, let’s dance.”
