No, I used to see it when I was at the dancing, and thought OMG if they only knew what they looked like.

Yes, the twist and the jive.
A lad once asked me if I could teach him to jive
I thought he said drive, so I turned up with L plates and asked him to tell me how much he already knew… ! :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I love Shuffle Dancing been doing it for years BUT, only round the kitchen. I use an old Elvis track (re-mixed) for it as it’s great to dance to. “His Latest Flame.”

I might have done a bit of twisting when I was younger … and drunk.
