No wonder we were all much thinner back then. A night out was a workout!
Was thinking just that!
Fantastic moves
Isn't that the truth!!!
They also didn't really have McDonald's or Panda Express or literally any fast food place ever.
A night out was dance dance dance, none stop. It was one good tune after another, didn't have time to sit down, those were my dancing days, I still dance a lot at home now but it's my daily exercise. Dance the night away in the disco. .
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
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
The writer is me”Jean” a female
@Lynn - I LOVE THAT! ♥️ what a wonderful memory to have of your Mom!🥰 I'm afraid most adult kids have no idea what their parents were like when they were young! (many don't have any interest in knowing...which is sad)
Love this! Wonderful you appreciate your Mom.
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!
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!
@@kathrynmiller9622 You stayed thinner because people were still mostly cooking from scratch and they hadn't introduced High Fructose Corn Syrup into every food.
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.
@@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.
Actually the Mashed potato was done the way George Harrison did it on Ed Sullivan!
I don't care if the dances are historically accurate they look fun as hell

@@tinkmarz1 And the Twist!
@@grouchomarxist5612 OMG....yes...!!! Thanks, friend...LOL...!...the biggest one of 'em all...! (I'll have to attribute that to a senior moment)
We had rythm
These girls well
Nope. Dont have any!
Songs r Great!!
@@tinkmarz1 boney maroney.. and all listed in "shake a tailfeather" ruclips.net/video/qdbrIrFxas0/видео.html
Their version of the Pony is not quite right. That was my favorite dance in the early 60's. Wore myself out many a time. Too old to do it now, but sure a lot had fun back then.
what are you the dance police
@@ayaanmakhani3123 They’re just saying, what’s your problem?
@@anyuser5788 they just told someone that they can’t cosplay a pony. that’s depressing
@@ayaanmakhani3123 Chill out bro lol. They’re prob hella old and you’re being rude😂.
That Pony was indeed incorrect. I felt inspired to full out do The Pony in a moment of high spirits and it was way more strenuous than it used to be... which happily didn’t stop me.
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!
I’m 64, and our versions in Minneapolis were pretty different from these, too. Loved dancing with friends…always a great workout.
They were strollin' a bit fast, I thought. I remember trying to be the slowest and coolest strolling! 🤣
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….
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!
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!!😀😎😎
Born in ‘53 the 60’s and 70’s were the best IMO. Most of these moves I’ve never seen before.
John, didn't you go to sock hops as a teen. Girls did, in the gym after lunch. Burned off calories too!
@@dawn7612 No. We went to drop in centers, went to different halls where people organized a dance with local bands playing and school dances of course.
Great photography, simple outfits....loved it....
I'm 71 and can still dance
As you should queen
I'm 74 and still dancing. Sometimes, just down the supermarket aisle, but the floor is great!
@@annarodriguez9868 I got caught late nite doing same, music was "ours" that was playing was to good to resist, guy that caught me dancing joined in looked to be near may age. LOL
@@jewelleryaddict So cool! I'm a millennial, wish I grew up in the 60's-70's era! Nonthless, most of my friends are actually 60-70 years of age..I can get along with them MUCH BETTER, than most people around my age (37). God bless 🌻
Was greatest time, saw Beatles and British Invasion so many good groups, long hair like now for girls, peg leg pants (skinny jeans) bell bottoms and to top all off Motown, Ike & Tina Turner, so many great groups, rock n roll, Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, always new dances to match new beat music. Yep we were lucky.
You know what’s great is that you don’t waste time doing a lot of talking.you get right into it. And you flow quickly from one to the next. This is great!!!
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.
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!
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.
@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).
That's what dancing is all about. Just having fun with it!
I'm born in 1951 and vividly remember these dances from middle school and high school dances, parties and TV shows. These girls are fun to watch and they are energetic dancers, but so many of the interpretations of the individual dances are not quite "historically" accurate and many are outright incorrectly danced. I advise them to look at RUclips clips of 1960s teen TV dance shows (American Bandstand, Shindig, Hullabaloo, etc.) if they want to get it right. But still, it was entertaining and it's nice that they wanted to visit such a musical era.
That’s the truth. Not being negative at all. These girls have great energy. But that’s surely my generation and all we did was dance. It wasn’t a lot of ways to do most of those dances. It was one way with additional added moves.
I agree 100%. We did them differently
Fun to watch. Not quite the way we did it back in the day but enjoyable to see another generation 'rock'it.
Definitely NOT the way we did it.
Exactly.
those dances kept us in shape ,,
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!
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.
HRNPSULLivan thanks for educating the younger generation, what I thought was lacking in these dances, no soul, no really feeling the music
exactly
Hand jive and the stroll were from the 50s. Not jerky enough on the jerk😜The bunny hop was done at every wedding in the 50s, don’t know it’s origin.
I remember doing some of these dances, they aren’t doing exactly like us, and I see some modern moves thrown in. Guess they can’t help it.
I was thinking the same thing. They flailed their arms around too much for the jerk. Too high in the air and not Jerky enough.
@@martiseelye6443 have you seen tom Jones’s version of the jerk? Um, um. Yum!
Yes, I wanted to see some jerking there
bunny hop at weddings was a fertility thing
Stroll was good! Way to go!♥️♥️♥️
You know there's a big difference in doing a dance move, and feeling the moves you do, I use to get so frustrated after so long watching the Dick Clark Show growing up in my hometown, because there was no feeling or rythm and everyone was offbeat, Now some 60' years later, after generations of intergeneration, and getting into the beat and tempo, everyone seems to be enjoying the music and the dance moves much more with feeling, The said all some culture's ever could do was dance, act and sing, Well now the whole world is beginning to understand why and how it stimulates the body from head to toe; So enjoy yourself as it was created to be.
I grew up in the sixties too,,, but different for everybody sorta thing ,, loved to dance , they should check up the original dances of the sixties ,, it was a lot more fun then ,,
Made me feel young again
The oldies are still a classic. 🙏🕊💜
pretty good but i danced in the 60s and thats not the way that we did the Jerk.. and what about the wobble.. lol brought back memories.. i was a teen in 1964
Anitta Barker that wasn’t how we did the jerk or the pony.
Somehow I remember the twist and other things are much different in this
@@terriv9002 I seem to remember 'holding the reins' while doing the pony.
How about The Shimmy?
Awesome brings back good memories of my sisters and I dancing in the 60s...🌺💜thank you!
this whole video i was expecting the twist
You need to watch the movie Hairspray with Ricky Lake
the 60's aren't only about the twist! Many a dance moves to keep you busy on the weekend.
@@mikemoyercell yep i know they aren’t just about the twist but it was such a basic move back then, so i was expecting it. that’s all
@@mikemoyercell and my dad was born december 1960 and i watched this with him and he said the exact same thing as me aswell.
Well I never did the mash potatoe so that I would kick the person next to me. All seem a little exaggerated
great watch well done girls boooooom
I really loved this. It goes to show, there is nothing new under the sun. Can see so many steps that are used throughout the decades and even today!
A for effort, but a D- for knowing how the dances were really done. Those were my dancing years!
West coast east coast, city and town all had their own unique twists. No real right or wrong. That’s why it’s called dance. Loved the ability to add our own personality
I found that to be true with 2 of them. Their versions were partially completed.
Thank you.
Great job, ladies! FYI for future videos: the Monster Mash, the iconic Bugaloo, the Twist, the Peppermint Twist, the Locomotion. So many. Such fun.
I read alot of the comments, I felt like they were cute and just enjoying the music. Maybe not the "real" dance moves but their version was fun and althletic. If you make a better video of the real moves then put it up for us to see and enjoy. Good job girls!
right like why cant they just let the girls have fun
👌👌 WELL STATED MOLLY 👍
I agree.. they were enjoying themselves so much I've decided to learn these dances!
The 60's were the best in music, fashion, dances everything was fun wouldn't give that time up for anything nothing to compare with the 60's best of times
Right...anything you say.
they should have worn the 60s gear
This is today's America ,we are grunge , where nothing has any meaning BLM
Love this, so many memories of high school days. These women are fabulous. Wish they would do a series of tutorials on how to do each dance.
I really don’t recall the specifics of the watusi. It could be authentic or it could be modified. I just don’t know.
Alas, doing the Mashed Potatoes has been beyond my grasp from ages 15 to 72 ... maybe a video would help. (he says optimistically and perhaps foolishly).
Great Memories for me too!
If you watch them closely, you can pick most of these dances up on here!
I was a teen in the 60s. However, I can’t remember doing some of the dances, but I can remember some others. The ones I knew, you did excellently!
Very very great dancers, they got it, takes you back to the good old days, love those days, love the dances and dancers 💯🤠
I knew a girl who broke her leg dancing: she was doing the mashed potato and slipped on the gravy....
Lol
@@kathyhayward2228 just curious, is this the first time you ever heard that joke? I have a good memory, because I was in grade school in the 60's when a classmate told me that joke.......
@@alpha-omega2362 yes n I was probably 3 to 6
@@kathyhayward2228 cool......
@@alpha-omega2362 yes it is n it's funny is why I laughed so
Not that I expect to go to a club in 2022 and have a 60s dance battle but now I am prepared
LMAO You just gotta have sumn prepared
Outstanding Performance, memories
Since I started playing music many years ago I haven't danced (? not sure why...) -- but I want to dance with these women -- they're having so much fun.
the Twist,, the Limbo..the Swim...the Mouse...the shimmy...the nitty gritty....all missing.
Read j'ya A-O !! 👍
I love 60s music 🥰
Although we did some of these dances differently, it was fun to watch these versions. Note: kids didn't bunny hop in the 60s. That was a 50s dance. I'm 71 and I wonder if kids today dance as much as we did. Like in the song Chery Bomb by John Mellencamp: "dancin' meant everything."
Dancing is a great exercise .Dancing is something I have always loved to do.Love the music back then .Their is no other music .Great time for a person to have grown up. I wish those times were still here today.What a great world we would have.
I was born a decade too late for it. As turbulent as the 60s were, entertainment was a banger.
Thank you ladies for sharing your passion and talent. I truly enjoyed your enthusiasm. Keep dancing to share your inner light with the world. Congratulations.
These girls got it down, I know I was there back in the day
Dang, this sure brought me my first smile of the day.
Brought back a lot of memories, thanks!
Don’t remember dancing the Watusi that way !
My dad taught me and my little sisters most of these. I distinctly remember the bunny hop. Man was he FUN! 😢
Groovy video! (1971 high school graduate).
Having been a teen in the 60's, a lot of their dance moves are not correct.
what ones arent correct?
@@elliecochrane2288 The jerk and the mashed potatoes for starters, no one danced them like that ( I was a teenager in the 60's in New York ). They entirely left out Motown and all those great moves from groups like the Temptations which was such a big part of the dance scene . Since most if not all of these dances are African-American in origin - go to the source ;)
@@nancyroseaktas6729 do you have any recommendations dance moves wise? me and my mates absolutely adore 50s-60s fashion and dance and we’re holding a party soon with that theme :-)
Agreed
Hi @@nancyroseaktas6729 , I agree with you! I've been researching a bit about 60's teen dances, as a record collector, dj and for fun reasons, as I love dancing, too. Since I live in Europe and was born in the 70's one of the few sources available to me is RUclips. A lot of those 1000 dances of the 60's seem really hard to track down, it would be a great help to be able to talk to one like you, who has witnessed the dance craze era herself. Would you mind sharing your experience with me? Maybe on another channel/messenger service?
I thought the Pony was different than I knew it to be, but I am envious of your talents here.
The Pony was most definitely different!
I’m 70 and was showing my grandson how we did the ”Skate” and “Boogaloo”😂 didn’t do it quite as well as in the 60’s!
I love watching people who can dance...
I really enjoyed this video, brings back old memories. Heck, we just danced, didn’t know many names of these dances, and loved the music! Thanks
This is 2020 interpretation of 1960's stereotype, made into a contemporary exercise video. Closer to reality would be the re-broadcasts of various "dance party" shows from the era; Hullabaloo, etc.
Spoken by a traditionalist, which I can appreciate. That said, how great is this to see young people embracing the past for a good time and a workout!?
I watched an episode of American Bandstand, and what passed for the tighten up was truly embarrassing. I think great black dancers made the American Bandstand producers nervous. Or maybe it was the advertisers on American Bandstand who are nervous. They wanted middle-class white hooks to buy those Broyhill dining sets.
@@RockandRollWoman 60s was a conservative times, then we moved on to Soul Train in the 70s. With that said the Jitterbug from the 30s on was pretty wild.
I danced all through the 60's....these come close.
@@kimchee94112 The 60's were NOT conservitive. Minoroity and Women's Rights Movement along with Nation wide Anti-Vietnam Protests rocked the Nation 🔥🔥. Please get it right ! 😡.
""✌"" 2u 😁 🖖
Awesome.... you girls are great.
ok..so i am eighty years old and spent thousands of hours on the dance floor. everyone did whatever moved them to a particular song. so the same song could have a hundred dancers doing different movements. that's the way it was done back then. totally wild really. we danced till we dropped. literally.. then we all went for ice cream. at 5 am. that's the way we met prospective dates..on the dance floor...not on the internet.
good job girls.
My mommy grew up in the 50's and 60's and I remember the time she showed me how to do the mashed potato! 😂
Everyone was in wonderful shape back then (this is why)!
We had real p.e. classes back then! We had to run and do calisthenics every day! The teacher didn't care if your bouffant hairdo got sweaty and got flat! We played volleyball and basketball and the teacher didn't care if you broke your fingernails. We were happy when we got to play baseball because we could sit on the bench half the time.
Most of my classes were on the second or third floor and in three different buildings so there was a lot of stair climbing and lots of space between buildings. We did a lot of walking and running between classes.
Being an old Go-Go dancer some of the moves look strange but many of them i did on the pedestal, was great fun and paid great at the time.
These were fun to watch. Dances differed just a little according to the region of the country you were in.
Your energy is incredible! Saved this video so I can practice these classics! You two are legends!!!
Great ones did them all in the 60's
These girls are having fun.
we used to do the "bunny hop" in a train type dance holding the hips of the girl or boy in front of you......also, many parents thought their kids were having epileptic fits when they were doing the "Jerk" ...
🤣
This looks more like the fifties.
We had the the twist, go-go dancing and cool dance moves x
The 30's were the Jitterbug while the 50's take on the Jitterbug was East and West Coast SWING DANCING. PS. John Travolta and Olivia Newton John *LIVE*
WOW, this brings me to
My dancing days, late 50 & 60s it is now the year 2023
I will be 80, now I can remember those days,
Thank you ❤
I grew up in the 60's and people did these dances their way
Wow- this brought back high school memories!❤️
You 2 are so wonderful to see! Great job!
Fun times here today
Lively, lovely ladies.
I love this so much! I am doing it everyday to get my steps in. Thank you!
I wish I could be friends with you two! You look like you were having so much fun!! Thanks for sharing this!
Back in the day when everyone was cool 😎
Dancing is a great Workout! and lot of Fun!!
Bunny Hop that’s a 50s dance.
Awesome loved this
These are GREAT! They have them down!!
At 74, remember it all! Thank God. Still got it! 😂
Need to do this with consideration of how to keep the sprayed, teased hair looking good, plus wearing a dress and heels, and needing to stay ladylike :( but this would make a great class at the gym.
Wow - a fun video - no need to be perfect, just have fun and you ladies were having fun! Loved it!
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.
I could watch her dance for hours! Poetry in motion ❤❤❤
Love it! Thank you girls!
Weren't the Hand Jive and the Stroll from the 1950's, instead of the 1960's? The Twist was missing!
Just because they started in the 50s, doesn't mean they weren't popular in the 60s also.
Where’s the Freddy?
Bunny hop too.
and the twist ws the biggest dance craze
Hully Gully? Madison? Bunny Hop? Nope. And that was not the jerk.
Great job girls , yes there we’re many variations , where you lived is the only difference, have a good time , keep rocking out !
Oh my jesus! This sure brings me back to the good ol days! ..some of the older members of my family danced to these. What fun we had, and we kept up whenever a certain dance came out. Funny the similarities of dances out today. Memories and yes we stayed slim and healthy..how can we not?🤪😂👍🙏
imagine in like 50 years someone does 2020s dance moves and all they do is the woah and renegade lol
Thank you so much! I have to do a 60s choreography for a Dance journey through time and need more authentic moves!
same!
Better watch old clips of American Bandstand for authentic moves. These are updated and stylized.
@@katherineyost1653 Yes I thought the same, having just come from watching a string of 60s videos, there's nothing authentic about these. But like they say themselves, they have been adapted to suit "modern" bodies. No high heels and corsets!
@@theponykidCorsets? We didn't wear corsets in the 60's. And most of us wore flats or, for dressing up, pumps.
although enjoyable, these moves are not going to help your journey through time. Better watch some old dance shows instead, but these are cute.
Just watching these dances are exhausting, but they were fun.
Awesome talent
Awesome video! You look like you're having so much fun. ;)
I lived through that era. These moves are very accurate, except he Hully Gully was a mess and I've never heard of the Madison. But everything else was on the mark
What a great video! Thank you!
I'm 73 years old. I've seen and done all but 2 of these ( years ago, of course ;-) ). You are good !!!!!!! Thank you !
Brilliant. Looking forward to some headbanging and po-going for the 70s ;-)
