I was a preschooler when the twist came out, but my teenage sisters taught me how to do it. It brings back fun memories of doing the twist while warming up around the oil stove and them laughing about the stupid school rule that banned the twist at dances.

Actually, I sense a potentially good yearly “running gag” out of this.

In early 1960s many of s pre-teens never learned the jitterbug b’cuz it was easier to do the twist! ☺

Hey, Nancy and Sluggo, the dance was called the ‘twist’! Not ‘twister’!!!!!

Well, that was 60 years ago. People aren’t as twisty now.

In college I could twist myself all the way down and kick my legs out like a Cossack. Not so limber now.
