The dance crazes of rock's first era As befits a music that was birthed mostly from black musical sources, rock and roll became synonymous with dance crazes - blink-and-you-missed-it fads that involved some wild new dance steps, usually accompanied by a hit single either before or after the fact. In the Fifties, rock dances were generally appropriated from other sources; the lindy hop and the jitterbug served as a basis for many of the fast dances, and aside from the occasional glorious one-off (The Diamonds' deathless, monumentally sleazy "The Stroll"), most rock dancing in the Ike Years remained confined to a few moves.

6. COMMENTARY Throughout rock and roll history, dance fads have always been popular. Several popular dance fads emerged such as the Twist, the Stroll, the Watusi, http://rockwisdom.com/commentaries/commentary56.htm

CHAPTER COMMENTARY Music can be a positive influence in that it can help cultivate and develop the individual skills of the musicians and listening audience. First, the exposure to different human emotions, ideas, concepts, music, and literature styles provides an educational opportunity. Second, the process used to select and choose musical preferences can help develop decision making skills needed to establish individual identity and independence. Third, the material and selection process may help to develop individual talents, skills, and areas of interest. For some, music may become a talent to explore, a hobby, or an area of interest. Whether taken separately or collectively, all these factors can promote personal growth. Another way music can be positive is that can be used to promote social opportunities. Music can be used to bring together individuals with common interests and be used to promote social interaction and atmosphere, such as music for dancing. Dancing is one of the most enjoyable aspects of music because it allows for audience participation. Throughout rock and roll history, dance fads have always been popular. In fact, rock and roll started primarily as dance music to wilder and more complex versions of the Lindy and Jitterbug. In the 1960s, swing dancing was replaced by "free form" dancing, which gained popularity because it was easy to do and did not require a dance partner. Several popular dance fads emerged such as the Twist, the Stroll, the Watusi, the Mashed Potato, the Jerk, the Monkey, the Pony, and the Boogaloo. The 1970s and 1980s brought forward such dance crazes as Boogying, the Bump, the Pogo, Slam dancing, and Break dancing.

This site is generally aimed at the female species but will try, whenever possible, to give pointers for you 'go-go boys'. The purpose of the web page is to educate the uninitiated into the fun girly things of the 1960's such as the dance fads plus hair and clothes fashion of the 'go-go girl'. Please note the term 'go-go' is used in this page in reference only to the fun 1960's teenage phenomena and has absolutely nothing to do with the seedy adult world or the 1970's style of funk also known as 'go-go', We will endeavour to update the pages as time permits.

18. History Gogo dancing was the teenage dance fad of the 1960 s and originated from and rock n roll scenes of the 1950 s and like most dance fads was condemned by http://www.geocities.com/thehipstergogo/history.html

What is go-go dancing and why is it called go-go? Go-go dancing was the teenage dance fad of the 1960's and originated from the jazz and rock'n'roll scenes of the 1950's and like most dance fads was condemned by the older generation as improper and immoral because of its frenzied movements. The word go-go comes from the word au-go-go and is a mixture of the French meaning "a plenty" and the American phrase "go man go". If you are able to find it in the dictionary you will probably find something along the lines of "rock'n'roll dancing in cafes usually in topless costumes" The biggest dance craze of the 1960's was the Twist and it appeared right around the world. Adults thought that the dance was too sexy and claimed that no 'nice' girl would do the Twist in Britain, and in Russia they thought that the Shake was going to lead their youth down the path of anarchy. Go-go originated in the European discotheques but Chubby Checker was the one who started the ball rolling and made it famous with the dance called the Twist.

20. Let's Dance Armenian and their dances are the most euphemeral. These dances can wax and wane with amazing rapidity similar to the dance fads of mainstream America. http://www.armenianheritage.com/dasteps.htm

Armenian Dance In every Armenian community worldwide, the traditional Western Armenian music and dance remained an important cultural factor in their community. In the United States, this popular tradition is a synthesis of two dissimilar Western Armenian styles: the urban oriental style and the rural folk style. These styles were preserved and fostered in the U.S. for decades through the picnics of the "compatriotic unions," such as Sepastatsi Vanetzi and Kharpetzi In the late 1940s, the rise of the Vosbikian Band, followed by Artie Barsamian, the Gomidas, the Norikes, etc., heralded the American-Armenian "Big Band" era. A homogeneous style of American-Armenian music developed which incorporated elements of both urban and rural traditional music and contemporary American music; e.g., Jazz and Latin rhythms. Old songs were altered to fit this new brash sound, and new songs and a new American-Armenian dance form also developed. Some of the dance steps are traditional village dance steps that have been modified to fit the music; e.g., Bar Halay Tamzara Pompuri Sepastia Bar , and Laz bar . Other dance steps have been adopted and modified from other ethnic groups such as Greek and Arabic; e.g.
