I love the very early TV Music shows

On a local television dance show in Idaho in February 1958, local teens dance to one of the biggest dance crazes out of the late-1950's called The Stroll, which originated from American Bandstand.
This dance was performed in a line formed with boys on one side and girls on the other, creating an isle between them.
The boy and girl in the front of the line would meet up in the middle, grab hands and stroll their way down the line, as the other kids in the line would move their way up to the front using the same dance steps that the couple moving down the line would use, but move from side to side instead.
When the first couple made their way down the line, another couple would meet in the middle and stroll down the isle.
Have we got any original Strollers here?

When old episodes of American Bandstand were still available I recorded all I could and binge-watched them. Not that I like her, but my favorite interview was when Dick Clark asked Madonna what her goal was and she, "to rule the world". She came pretty darn close.

We also used to do something called "The Madison", which I think was a Midwest thang. It wasn't quite like The Stroll but you did do it as a group....more like a line dance.
