Back in about the late 1950s shortly before I left school for the great wide world,I learned to waltz to that tune!
I also recall my dance teacher (tough ex-navy PE instructor, then RNR) telling us quite severely that when one is ballroom dancing, if there is any daylight between one and one's partner, then one is not doing it right. Great fun - until that idiot Chubby Checker came along and taught everyone the Twist....

The twist...
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to make a complete arse of myself!
I hate this song, it goes against every principle of decency and hard work, as well as aspirations of doing well in the world.
